Serenity

I dreamed I was onboard Serenity and it was hot in the ship. Too hot to sleep. Mal had taken to not running the engine due to pressure from environmentalists on the negative effects of the byproduct it created. But I was too hot to sleep. I told the crew, "I'm heading back to turn the engine on!" Mal wasn't onboard. No one believed I would do it.

The hallways were narrow. Very narrow towards the end of the ship. I had to turn sideways to get down the hall. Am I gaining weight I wondered? I slip into the engine room, and hit the large red button (not unlike a gas station emergency pump shut-off) and the engine starts turning. It was getting cooler almost immediately. I went further back where Mal's "office" was. Kaylee was sleeping on a futon at the front of the office. I shook her awake and told her I'd turned on the engine. She had been sweating in her sleep and was grateful for the falling temperature. I sat behind Mal's desk a fiddled with the items he had laying around as Kaylee and I discussed his idiosyncrasies. We were both ready to go back to sleep, I gave her a hug, and exited the room.

I'll fight you for Kaylee

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-17 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
She was always my favorite :)

If you liked Firefly, you should find the show Wonderfalls equally excellent. Kaylee has a small but important roll in the show in later episodes.

I'll start downloading a few episodes immediately to see if they're worth a DVD box-set purchase. Thanks for the tip! (BTW, your first comment was hysterical.)

Well worth it, in my opinion!

Though if what you like about Kaylee is how sweet she is, you might be a little surprised by her Wonderfalls character...

Dude, seriously, if she were real, I'd totally throw down. I'll be Captain Kirk and you can be Finnegan...

Jess may not know it yet, but FF is the next series she's going to get to watch.

Maybe while waiting for season 2.5 of BSG after we catch up with Deadwood.

OMG! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-17 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be the Gorn Captain...better battle music! (Think The Cable Guy...)

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-17 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't forget to follow up with the Motion Picture Serenity!

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-17 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
My bad - that was the fight between Spock and Kirk? Either way, I was thinking Cable Guy:

But of course.

Which was brilliantly lampooned in Buffy's last and far, far, far worst season

I'm sure she'll LOVE the theme song on FF!!! I know I did....not!!!!
Actually, that was the only thing I didn't like about the series. It was quite good!

[identity profile] galinda822.livejournal.com 2006-08-17 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
The first thing I ever saw her in was The X-Files "Oubliette". She was like 13 yrs old.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found serenity
But you can't take the sky from me

Did you not click the link?

[identity profile] galinda822.livejournal.com 2006-08-18 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yes...unfortunately! Meant I can't get it out of my head!!!!

My evil plan was a success! MUAHAHAHAHA!

You both can keep Kaylee. I prefer a much more mature and much, much, much...more beautiful woman, Inara.

You know Eric I am aware you can't control the logic or lack there of in a dream but if the engine was off wouldn't it become very very cold instead of hot?

What kind of propulsion system did they use?

Too hot to sleep.

Did your room on Serenity remind you at all of the computer room at the ADC?

The photon-reaction drive in the bulbous rear section of the ship lights up when accelerating, resembling a firefly and, thus, the class moniker.

"eyeroll"

In your dream, I know what they used on the ship on the show.

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-18 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
In retrospect, yes. Good call.

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-18 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Except for those damn narrow hallways and Mal's office in the rear of the ship, everything was identical.

[identity profile] celtmanx.livejournal.com 2006-08-18 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Not that Mal would every give into dumb hippie's like scurvydurx and turn off the engine anyway, but they were just dead in space with no alternative source of propulsion????

Thanks! :D

I adore Kaylee, she would be perfect to hug. I just have a hunch. ;)

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-19 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Just so darn cute!

[identity profile] leonardii.livejournal.com 2006-08-19 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
She's so very lovely...

I am not a dumb hippie. I hate enviromental wackos.

[identity profile] schpydurx.livejournal.com 2006-08-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
that's a damned hippie envoirmentalist song.

d00d, you're a hippie.

[identity profile] schpydurx.livejournal.com 2006-08-24 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
d00d, that chick is hot. I need her number.

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-24 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
She told me to tell you it's 1-800-NEVER.

[identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com 2006-08-24 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It's about freedom.

[identity profile] schpydurx.livejournal.com 2006-08-24 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I looked her up in the yellow pages. She told me to tell you to call 1-800-GO-FUCK-YOURSELF.
