No, I really don't think that the movie gives you enough of an idea why people really like the show. That said, if you absolutely hated the movie and have never before liked or watched any of Joss Whedon's previous series... I agree with Nate that Firefly is probably not your thing. Then again, I doubt I would have watched Star Trek: The Next Generation if I saw one of the movies first as they all sucked compared to the series.

No, actually, nothing like that. The way he blended the elements in the show was genious. That's my opinion, take it for what you will... And maybe watch the fucking show before you tell us how bad it is?

I'm with Post on this. You need to get some indian food in your belly right now!

I'm really tempted to jump in and be the first to mod the shit out of 'em and make 'em pretty... But I'm too broke at the moment.

Oh, you haven't seen Firefly... I see. Probably not a Joss Whedon fan either? His style isn't for everyone, but Firefly is his best offering yet in my opinion, and will always be a favourite. The melding of east and west into a quirky space opera was pure genious. He also managed to tame his goofy humour without removing it entirely. Oh, and the companion is hot and I have a thing for River... So there's that too. I love Dead Like Me, and just bought season 2 and have been watching it, so it is fresh in my mind. Nate - I hear you on heroes, and I agree that they made some mistakes. That said, I LOVE some of the characters and even taking what they are doing wrong into account... They are doing a lot right. Looks like I'll have to check out deadwood though. Just what I need, another show to watch.

Which one is garbage?

I've been hearing this a lot lately. What is so great about it? I'd probably say that Firefly, Dead Like Me and Heroes are my current favourites as far as series' go... would I like Deadwood?

I think he does some sort of soft start, but I'm not sure. Practically no ripple sounds like a good thing. I'm pretty sure I cant hear my diodes. But yeah, I'm sure the 'cheap & easy' part factors in.

I like the ones where you don't have to worry about the drivers... but the extra features on the external EMU are probably worth it.

I thought since it is USB it didn't have drivers.

Is that always the case? Peter is a pretty big tube nut, likes tubes for everything... but he actually prefers solid state rectification. I wonder why.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

For 6H30's you've got two choices. New production Sovteks or old production Sovteks. They are identical as far as I can tell, so I'd go with new production to save money. Parts Connexion sells them. Renato [looser101] and I have tried a bunch of 6GC7's and 6GU7's in both of our amps and found that the RCA 6GU7's are the best... they are also quite cheap. You really need to see a pic of Renato's Aikido... it's a beast.

Some cosmetic surgery is covered, it is hard to say without knowing the particulars (and I'm no expert).

I saw it in theaters, advance screening. Didn't tape it, sorry.

I saw extinction last night, pretty good... you get to see Wesker a bit.

Thanks for that explanation, it clears a few things up for me. I guess you guys have it a little better than I thought, but it sounds like it would be easy for someone to fall in the area where you don't have coverage and cant afford it. That is a shame. Sort of like when I tried to get a student loan for college and was told that my Dad made too much money for OSAP even though there is no way he could spare me enough. Then I go to the bank and try to get him to cosign for a student load there... turns out they do their check differently and base it on the amount of money you have left after bills/etc. He didn't make enough to cosign for a loan. Brutal. Had to get my Mom in Alberta to cosign. EDIT: That was sort of a random story... my excuse is lack of sleep. Went to see the advance screening of RE:Extinction last night and didn't get to sleep until 2 in the morning.

Oh man, I need that shirt!

All this talk of getting treated now.n and paying later... I'm assuming you are talking about emergency room visits? Like a gunshot wound or a heart attack? What about cancer?

Really? Like what?

Um, I just thought they would both be funny drunk. Who's into gay porn? Worry about the money later? Ok.

I think somebody is taking this a little more serious than I...

Fuck that, we need to get Billy and Eaphan drunk and tape it.

Are you guys new? Every other day there is a thread like this...
