Even Morena Baccarin's character seems like the fantasy of a man desperate to make the idea of buying sex acceptable to himself, and nothing about her job is ever really shown from her point of view. I think every time she's shown doing any part of her job, it's her helping some sensitive, introverted white boy become more confident or grow in a positive way, even though she's one of the main characters on the show and she's having sex with people who never show up again.

Failed Imagineer posted:Whedon really administered the killing blow to Firefly with that corny rear end theme song he wrote the lyrics to. I cringed everytime. Like he heard the theme to ST:Enterprise and thought "what if that but countrified instead of butt-rock, and even shittier?" I read that as TNG and now I’m wondering what lyrics to their theme song would be.

Dinosaurs! posted:I read that as TNG and now I’m wondering what lyrics to their theme song would be. TNG's theme does have song lyrics: Patrick Stewart posted:Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before! Unfortunately, William Shatner and Patrick Stewart both refused Roddenberry's request to sing the words along with their respective title themes.

Tars Tarkas posted:A cinematic universe of Vampire: The Masquerade and related games is coming (again?) Eric Heisserer used to be a goon, I believe. On the old Black List podcast he was interviewed about Arrival and he briefly mentioned posting here. I had a ton of fun playing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines back in the day. Kind of tempted to go back to it from this news. Kindred: The Embraced was also kind of fun in a very 90s shlocky way.

Len posted:The chemical that kills your rapist is a thing someone came up with What is this now? I don't remember this at all from watching the show a decade ago, and asking here seems like a better idea than googling 'firefly rape drug'. Also if Hivemind manages to make a White Wolf show half as good as the Expanse I will be a very happy nerd. I feel very strongly that they should set it in the 90s, both because the game itself reeks of that decade, and because they won't have to deal with all the cellphone/social media problems that would kind of turn it into 'What We Do In the Shadows' played straight.

Leatherhead posted:What is this now? I don't remember this at all from watching the show a decade ago, and asking here seems like a better idea than googling 'firefly rape drug'. https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-firefly-episode-were-really-glad-joss-whedon-didnt-5959794 Executive Producer Tim Minear posted:She had this magic syringe. She would take this drug. And if she were, for instance, raped, the rapist would die a horrible death. The story was that she gets kidnapped by Reavers and when Mal finally got to the ship to save her from the Reavers, he gets on the Reaver ship and all the Reavers are dead. Which would suggest a kind of really bad assault. At the end of the episode, he comes in after she’s been horribly brutalized, and he comes in and he gets down on his knee, and he takes her hand. And he treats her like a lady. And that’s the kind of stuff that we wanted to do. It was very dark. And this was actually the first story that Joss pitched to me when he asked me to come work on the show. He said, ‘These are the kind of stories we’re going to do.’ AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Apr 28, 2021 |

I think it was Checnya, and it somehow rose to the level of their strongman governor bitching about it demanding “action.” Either way, it was what led to the parent company bringing down the hammer on White Wolf.

Apparently they also added options for allowing one of the vampire clans to explicitly dress up as neo-nazis which didn't exactly help their case at all.

TOOT BOOT posted:Are the people that wouldn't shut up about Firefly for 10 years Firefly fans, or Joss Whedon fans? I think the last time I saw someone in the wild who was openly still pining for Firefly to come back was 2013, which seems like a very long time to hang onto some false hope like that. Like I can understand like 2 or 3 years, but once you hit the decade mark, it's just plain sad. Then again we did get a good Star Trek reboot in the 80's  Len posted:It just sounds like something an edgy teenager would write. It's so bad in every single way The thing is they show that stupid syringe, a couple times I think, and I guess it was intended to be one of those mysteries where you're supposed to wonder why she just fondles it every time things get bad. I just assumed it was supposed to be for suicide.
