Serenity - the Comic Book (Spolers for issues 1 and 2)

thanks ... that helps, what was the nature of the arguement? ... Has Mal ever managed not to piss off one of the crew yet? ... Walsh was all jealous (but learned to get over it, the really hard way), Jayne ... well he's Jayne, Morena (gah, must watch dvd's again ... forgetting characters names) either wants to kiss him or knee him in the balls (probably both), Simon is just to much fun to pick on, River ... I don't think Mal wants to really piss River off.

People who get shot in the head should be dead and should stay that way.

But it worked out well for "Walking in Memphis" singer, Mark Cohn!

Jubal Early will come back from floating in space...

I was watching Objects in Space again, and saw the trailer again, and noticed that the bounty hunter in the movie seems awefully similar to Early. I wonder if at some point this was supposed to be Early, either in a future TV show plotline, or they couldn't get the actor for the movie.

People keep saying that, but I just don't get it. The two actors, apart from being African-American, barely look similar to me. They look no more similar than, say, Kevin Costner and Kevin Kline -- sure, vaguely similar, but only in very, very general ways.

I wonder if this tends to be suggested more often by people who weren't raised with many African Americans... I know that I personally, for example, don't have a good eye for the differences in the way Asian-Americans look, and I suspect it's because the communities I was raised in just had very few living there. I had a lot of black friends growing up and so seem to see differences (and similarities) much more quickly there.

Different lips, nose, eyes... kinda similar chins, I guess.

My bad spelling of awful aside...

Despite growing up in a milquetoast suburban neighborhood, I don't think they look alike at all. If that was what I conveyed, it wasn't meant to be. I think that they are pretty similar characters, and could easily see Jubal being the bounty hunter in the movie. The fact that they are both African-American seems to me to give credence to that fact.

Well, the trouble is, one guy is very famous for a role on a hit TV show (Law & Order). If you recognize him as that, it's impossible to mistake him for anyone else.

I personally didn't notice that they changed actresses for the commander of Stargate Atlantis between the spinoff episodes of SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Because I really didn't know either actress that well.

If you look at the facial features, I think there is some vague resemblance. The general shape of the head, the eyes, the size of the forehead. The eyebrows aren't too close. The jaw is sorta.

(The 2nd guy is actually not African-American, but English, btw.)

Yeah, should have just said "black."

Don't forget G vs. E (or Good vs. Evil, as it was later renamed when it moved to the SciFi channel. Apparently the people who watch the Sci-Fi network, of all people, couldn't grasp what G vs. E meant without having it completely spelled out...?)

That was a really fun, quirky show that was cancelled prematurely- although not before they did some wonky reworking of the premise a bit at the end.

G vs. E was by far my favorite show ever.
