Is it too late to cast votes for "Take me, sir. Take me hard."? It's so ruttin' deadpan! I love it

"No, this must be what going mad feels like..." (Jaynestown)

I'm having a hard time thinking of Simon lines. Sorry. How about:

Recognizing the "alien" in the jar as a bovine calf (the Message)
and, immediately after, making an ass of himself to Kaylee.

***Chris*** · 01-25-2011, 11:20 AM

It's good to see you here lyb.

This show had terrific writing and all of the characters had so many great lines. It was hard narrowing it down to a few to vote on.

So true. I especially appreciated how they made an effort to mutate the language (since one could hardly expect the language not to mutate over nearly a thousand years), and to make Chinese a part of what everybody speaks.

Chasing Fireflies · 01-25-2011, 02:28 PM

dp sorry

Chasing Fireflies · 01-25-2011, 02:34 PM

Soleya we voted the same!

So top votes:

4/4

- "This must be what going mad feels like" (Jaynestown)

2/4

- Saving the patient in the hospital (Ariel)
- Taking care of River in Serenity after her seizure at the bar. (Serenity)

Soleya · 01-25-2011, 02:34 PM

Ooh thanks Jess.
