EXCELLENT TIP: shut it down once Saffron gets away. Then she gets to be nasty but zany and independent, and Mal is still respectable. Being a Whedon fan means never having to admit you're in denial.
Because the first four acts of OMR are just kooky fun! You know they're not going to be ok, you know she is just too great a character to get dropped out the airlock, it's just the how. And then that last scene just ruins it for me because I just....you had nobody to ask you WHAT THE HELL, J-bird? Then I go all screechy and veiny.
For someone who doesn't give a crap about westerns or spaceships, I have surprisingly complex feelings about the politics of Firefly. I feel like it is the first clause of a sentence...and then Dollhouse is the next ten pages. I've been trying to get these thoughts out but it's for real not an essay, it's a whole project.
Radfems...I feel like they get a disproportionate amount of attention, because you read some of the het-sex-critical stuff and you're like WHUT, but everyone else is doing that too - feminists and anti-feminists and people who don't give - and then it turns into a whole yellfest.
