BELATED FRIDAY

We missed seeing “Firefly” last Friday since we were out seeing “Dance of the Vampires,” but Glenn taped them for us and we just saw it.

Definitely the best episode so far. The multi-layered storytelling style would have been hëll on anyone who can’t follow non-linear stories, but it certainly propelled things along. I assume the clips were from the unseen pilot, and although it seems to have been poorly received by Fox execs, I know *I* am sure interested in seeing it now. Those clips made it actually seem like a Joss Whedon show.

Most disconcerting for me was the introduction of Kaylee. I still think of Jewel Staite as the little fifteen year old we hired for “Space Cases.” Meeting her character by seeing her humping some guy in engineering and then hurriedly getting dressed afterwards just gave me the willies.
