PM Update

The Rant is up for "You're Welcome". It took a LONG time to write and edit, so that's what you get tonight.

Everything else will be updated in the morning, including quotes. See you then.

AM Update

It's Thursday. Eric and I will have our rant up in the PM update. You will most likely not want to miss that.

I just want to say one thing before I go on, and I'll try not to make this spoilerish...

Thank you, Charisma.

Now let's hit it...

News Bites has...

- Herc's spoilers for last night's episode (a little late, I know).
- EG's review of "You're Welcome".
- There's word that Charisma Carpenter will do Playboy (this coming from her official website).
- TVGuide.com's interview with Charisma Carpenter.

Upcoming Episodes are updated.

Now to the poll...

Last week we asked, "Who is your favorite Firefly character?" Here are the results...

Capt. Mal Reynolds - 35.7%
Kaylee - 15.2%
Zoe - 13.5%
River Tam - 9.1%
Jayne - 7.4%
Anara - 6.5%
Wash - 6.1%
Shepard Book - 3.9%
Simon Tam - 2.6%

Total votes: 230

Not big numbers, but I'm not surprised by that. We don't have a huge Firefly contingent on this site. Ol' Cappy Tightpants wins it, with Kaylee getting 2nd, and Zoe rounding out the top 3. Let's see what you guys had to say...

"Nathan Fillion's just....cool."
- jojo

"River was awesome. She kept things interesting and wacky. Plus she was wicked smart and crazy. I love her!"
- mrsmarsters

"Oh, now come on! River rocks it hard! She is by far the deepest and most interesting character on the show. Remember when she took out those foot soldiers without even looking? Just bang-bang-bang? That's a woman right there, pal."
- Dust

"Well, it's really kinda hard NOT to go with Mal, since the series was so short-lived, he got to shine throught the most...Coulda been Anara, but I think that was for episode 14 or something...:( Jayne was funny as hell though..."
- Sarcastic Voice

"I had to go with Kaylee. I see a lot of me in her and her in me."
- wish

"I love Jayne because he's an up kind of guy, willing to show you his man parts. Thoughts of him holding his big gun make my girl parts tingle. I'll be in my bunk."
- Princess Kimberley

"WASH! Loved the dorky-ness of him especially when he first met Zoe (with a mustache!). I wish there were more episodes so we get to know him better (Stupid Fox)."
- Sunnycide

"I know that this is a Buffy site and Joss DID create it and all that, but why ask this question as a poll? I love the weekly polls, and what about the people who havent seen Firefly? I just liked Nathan on Buffy so voted for him. That show just didnt appeal for me. So maybe you should keep in mind that not ALL Buffy fans watched Firefly."
- Rose

Note from Matt: This ISN'T a Buffy site, for starters. This is a MUTANT ENEMY site. Meaning, we cover everything JOSS WHEDON does. So if you haven't seen Firefly, that's fine....you don't have to answer the poll question. But Firefly things will pop up, because Joss Whedon created Firefly. Some people don't even watch Angel...just Buffy. So there will be different shows for different people. That doesn't mean we stick to one show. Keep that in mind.

"It was a tie between River, Wash, and Kaylee. I love(d) all the characters! *takes a moment to mourn Firefly* River won, because she's most like me. Yeah."
- Kitten of Rain

"Even though the show only had 13 episodes I think that Zoe was the character that really stood out."
- milesfrom7~3~0

"jayne. not zoey, duncan, or jack but animal mother hisself - the only bad ass mofo to have his own song. then book...named after edward g robinsons character in 'soylent green" -- what more pop kulture hommage do ya want? Okay - the guys from Barney Miller and joss is a barney miller geek? la de dah...."
- wretch

"Umm, not to be the spelling nazi, but you've spelled Inara wrong. Shame on you! ..unless there's some secret unknown character named Anara?"
- infected_slinky

Note from Matt: My bad.

"Wash is definitely my favorite, he'a funny guy who acts like someone you would meet nowadays. How did he get those ancient toys? LOL"
- ChantrelleJewel

"Come on! That's easy! Who can't love Kaylee. She is just like Willow: when she is sad, so are you. Oh, and you spelled Inara wrong (Anara). Come on, isn't Kaylee great?"
- Sraeps

"Crap, this is hard! I loved them all, Mal, Zoe, Wash, (even) Jayne, Book and River. Simon and Inara were hot. But I went with dear, sweet Kaylee. And hey, I thought it was spelled Inara?"
- chosen girl

Note from Matt: See above RE: my bad.

"This was hard for me ! I loved Mal and Kaylee the best ,but I liked all of them. Zoe and Wash together are great and along with Mal they are really funny! River got on my nerves somewhat but you know she is crazy!!!!!"
- Ladyhawk

"Anara for nice to look at, River for fun as hell with her crazy ways and Zoe for kick ass action. Kaylee was my favorite!!!!!!!! She was a balanced combination of all of the above traits. Kaylee struck me as someone I would like to know (even if I didn't need my spaceship engines repaired). Hmm, who are all those guys you listed? Were they on the show too?"
- Fogey

"Let me take this auspicious poll moment to sing the praises of my beautiful redneck mountain spacegirl, Kaywinnet Lee! Kaylee....mmmmm...."
- SevenofTN

"Boy, did this poll ever come right on time! We don't get Firefly where I live, but I have now downloaded enough episodes to answer it...and I had to go with Mal. He's a really interesting character and quite funny too. I also love Wash and Anara (she's the companion, right? AARGH too many names to remember...)."
- fat tony

Great comments folks. This week's poll is one that we've done before...but it's been almost 6 months since we did it, and I love to get your feedback on what you like or dislike about the site. So this week we ask you to vote and THEN comment, because we would love the feedback.

Rant coming soon. I'll be back later.
