I’m one of those people who loves to watch and read things I love, over and over.<\/p>\n

I’ve read The Hobbit<\/em> more times than I can count, and the same goes for The Complete Sherlock Holmes<\/em><\/p>\n

But I’m even worse about movies and TV episodes. I can recite most of the dialog from The Princess Bride<\/em> and Lost Boys<\/em>. Watching something that is guaranteed to make me laugh is comforting–and also guaranteed only to take a set period of time. It used to be that my default TV episodes for those times were DS9: “Looking for Par’Mach in All the Wrong Places<\/a>“, and “The Magnificent Ferengi<\/a>“. (I think Armin Shimerman is underrated.)<\/p>\n

However, after we discovered Firefly<\/a><\/em>, I’ve hardly looked back. And the more times we watch, the more Jayne becomes my favorite character, thanks to Adam Baldwin. Yes, a lot of it does have to do with great writing, but still. I watch “Our Mrs Reynolds” and almost every line Jayne speaks has me laughing out loud. I mean really, “This is my very favorite gun.” You read that and it doesnt seem all that<\/em> funny. But when we watch it, I cackle. <\/p>\n

Every time.<\/p>\n

And every time we watch it, it still boggles my mind that this show got cancelled.<\/p>\n

Anyway. I’m still trying to convert others into Firefly<\/em> fans. Not because I think they’ll ever make another show (and after Serenity<\/em>, it just wouldn’t be the same anyway) but because it makes me happy. <\/p>\n

And everyone needs more happy in their lives.<\/p>\n
