Whadda you know. The receipt was still in my inbox. Tonia Lopez-Fresquet WisdomLikeSilence Order #47789

A friend of mine asked a well-respected Star Trek writer what he thought of Firefly. The writer said that he thought it portrayed a really dark world, and he didn’t want to spend time there every week. I like dark. And I like that Firefly was essentially the story of interesting people...

Sorry, I can't help. I'm still looking for a good gaming store in LA myself. I know someone on the boards suggested a place in Santa Monica, but for the life of me I can't remember the name. Anyone know what store that might be? -WLS

And the DVD release in December. I'm pretty psyched about the unaired episodes. Plus, DVD sales should be good, which will only increase the chances of future Firefly offerings. (I can still hope, can't I?) -WLS

Firefly. The only Sci-Fi show I've ever *really* loved. >sigh< Still in mourning..... -WLS (I can enjoy TNG and DS9, and I hear fabulous things about Farscape, but Firefly was something special.)

Another gamer chick here. I usually don't go out of my way to mention my gender on the boards, though, 'cuz I kinda enjoy seeing whether people react to me differently if they don't know I'm female. Shouldn't make a difference, but it does. I'm 29, and have been gaming for about 20 years now...

Oh, so *that's* why Lira is Ehktian.... :D -WLS

That’s the problem. Nothing is explicit. Things are only implied, or hinted at, and that makes it really hard to post quotes. It’s also the reason we’re having this whole discussion. If they’d just stated things either way there would be no room for disagreement. As you know, though, that’s...

Ok, Wayside, obviously we have very different interpretations of what the writers intended. We’re simply not going to settle this in the absence of definitive testimony from them on what they were trying to do. Since we’ve both obviously spent a lot of time on Buffy, quoting episodes back and...

Sorry buddy, but there is no contradiction. There is, however, great and deliberate misdirection. I figured Spike was going to get his soul back from the beginning, (something about his expression and self-loathing after the attempted rape) and was amused at how very carefully the writers...

Re: Re: Re: Your top 10 Bufy episodes Just FYI - DVDS of season four are coming in June. You should be able to find it not long after you finish season three. -WLS

Not sure how long it would take, but remember that a poorly trained horse is difficult for a novice rider. I'd up the DC for ride checks with freshly broke horses. -WLS

Ok, this is entirely Fajitas fault. Spyscribe, bless her soul, has already written several updates. But we're not yet at the point where her character arrives, and for now we have to rely on a much more inconsistent source. He keeps claiming he's too busy writing games and stuff.... Updates...

I've thought about it a bit, and I'll agree with Crichton here. Almost all of my objections to the finale have to do with the season that preceded it. If the season hadn't created so many plot holes and loose threads (the most egregious of which was the Joyce prophecy), then the final episode...

I can't believe no one has mentioned our group's perennial favorite - baby carrots. They're easy, munchable, and good for you too. Other favorite snacks include: -Chips & salsa. Good salsa, the kind you can get in LA in the refrigerated section. -Veggie Chips. Not that good for you, but...

Re: Re: Update on updates You know, several months after we started playing, Anvil's player (BadMonkeyJeff) mentioned that he was going to make a diplomacy check. The rest of us stared at him in astonishment. "Anvil HAS diplomacy?!?" It turns out he does, he just prefers to ignore it most...

Mr. Valterra, I don't have any particular feelings about TBEF, but I did want to express my appreciation for your willingness to come to the boards and discuss your project honestly and politely. This sort of civilized dialogue is usually in painfully short supply. Kudos - especially for your...

I have no idea where Montclair Plaza is, and Burbank is a little out of our way, but we're very close to Santa Monica. So we'll definitely see if the WOTC by the promenade is still open. Thanks guys! -WLS

Help! The WOTC in the Beverly Center closed (without warning and without even a going-out-of-business sale), and now we don't know where to get our gaming fix. Anyone have any suggestions on the west side? Thanks! -WLS

I haven't had a chance to look at many of the storyhours, but I must chime in in praise of SepulchraveII. His storyhour is really a well-written novel. As a plus, the first six parts make a pretty good story arc. If you want to read it, just post in the current thread and ask someone to send...
