View Full Version : ...a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach...


Rick
07-07-2008, 12:20 PM
In the last year-plus, I've watched the complete seasons of:
Deep Space Nine
Star Trek Voyager
Space: Above and Beyond
Babylon 5
Farscape
Stargate SG1
Stargate Atlantis (First 3 seasons)

and 2 to 3 others I can't think of now.

I've also watched several other good Scifi movies and a few that weren't
so good.

Each time, when deciding what to watch next, Firefly and Serenity pop
into my head. But then I get a nervous feeling in the pit of my
stomach. And a little bit of fear I think. And I can't bring myself to
start them.

I think the reason is that I'm afraid I'll burn myself out on them.
I've seen every episode and the movie at least 4 times each, maybe 5 or
more. (When the movie came out, I actually took a vacation day and went
to the theater and watched it twice.) I even bought a set of the
original, limited edition 'Official Serenity Blueprints' that
Quantummechanix (http://www.quantummechanix.com/HOME.html) released/sold.

I don't want my love for this show/movie to ever be diminished, so, I'm
afraid to do anything that might reduce the 'shininess'.

I want to watch it again, but I don't want it to be lumped into the
same category as the other 'ended' series I've been watching. I don't
want the signal to end, but I'm afraid of the possibility that it might.

Anyone have any suggestions, ideas, or comments. Whether they help me
or not, maybe I just need to talk about it.




P.S. By the way, Quantummechanix is still producing more Firefly items.
I've just noticed they are fix-in to sell a Kaylee statuette.

Well, there is the adage "absence makes the geart grow fonder." On the
other hand, there is just a comfort in re-watching certain
Series/movies that have a fondness in our hearts.

I've watched the series probably 10 or 12 times, and could probably
quote dialog along with the actors on the screen. I'll be watching it
again soon, and often. I'll be muttering "Big Damn Heroes" when they
rescue River and Simon, and chortling when Jayne describes Vera.

IMO, it just gets better with time. The "Good Stuff" is like that. That
is why it's called the good stuff.

Thanks for your concern.

Yes, scary, but not quit the way you think.

I watch an 1 to 1.5 hours of live/DVR TV followed by 2 to 3 episodes
(about 1.5 to 2.25 hours) of something from a DVD. Thats between about
8 pm and midnight. Three plus hours just doesn't seem like all that
much TV, especially when watched instead of the dribble that is offered
by the networks.
Also, around here there's just not much going on outside between 8 and
midnight.

If you're actually worried about my health, I put in 40+ hours a week at
work and 40+ hours a week babysitting. Then we are cleaning the house
and doing yard work for 3 to 4 hours a week. Also, during the last few
months we've been doing remodeling of the house for 10 to 20 hours a week.

We finally get to sit down to eat around 7 or 8 at night. The wife and
I watch an hour or so of live/DVR TV(DVR because we didn't have time to
watch it when it was live). Then, between 9 and 10, she heads for bath
and bed and I fire up the laptop and surf/game while watching/listening
to 2 to 3 episodes of something better than 'reality' dribble.

Around midnight, I take my shower and head for bed. Then the whole
thing starts over when I report to work at 8 AM.

Personally, I think that my health is suffering more from work than from
lack of activity.

Firefly, and asked for suggestions.

If you haven't already, you could try "Blake's 7".

And if you want something you'll be hard-pressed to over-watch, you
could work your way through all 30 seasons of "Doctor Who". Per
Wikipedia, they're up to 202 stories spread across 751 individual
episodes. Most of the run was usually four or six half-hour episodes,
but if you watch one story a night and average four a week it'll take
you a full year to see them all.

I haven't heard of "Blake's 7" before now, but that's not surprising
that I live in the USA. (Just now read about it on Wikipedia.) Sounds
like it could be interesting.

I'm afraid I'll have to wait on that series though. I searched Amazon
and the cheapest I found it was $275 for the 4 seasons. If new stuff
being release here is over $50 per season, I let it sit in the store
till the price drops. I fear that an older series like "Blake's 7"
won't be coming down much in the near future.

But, then again, Amazon isn't known for having the best prices. I'll
continue looking elsewhere for the series. Hmmm.. I wonder if Netflix
has it??? I'll look later.

Hmmm.... I bet that would be a pretty piece of change to pick up "all 30
seasons". I did watch some of them when I was younger, my 20's I think.
I liked it then and I've been watching the new episodes that have been
on here for the last couple of years. I like the series and it would be
one to keep going for a while.

But, it too is rather expensive, on Amazon, for an older series.
Definitely need to check Netflix or something like it.

I've also been watching Torchwood on BBC America and like it a lot.
Tried the first episode of "The Sarah Jane Adventures" but it seems
oriented for the young teenage crowd and I just couldn't bring myself to
watch more of them.

Thanks for the suggestions and the idea of checking foreign markets.

(It will be so nice when foreign broadcast becomes more universally
available world wide.)

A friend of mine taped them all off PBS stations back when they were
running them (and a bunch of old "Doctor Who" episodes as well). I
just borrowed the tapes. You might ask around for 40ish SF fans, and
see if you get lucky.


> Thanks for the suggestions and the idea of checking foreign markets.

You can also branch out in other ways. There are lots of potential
themes for renting:

1) All five "Best Picture" nominees for every year you've been
alive. Watch one every night, M-F.

2) The Oscar winners in the major categories for every year you've
been alive. "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best Actor",
"Best Actress" gives you four; in case of overlap (such as with
"The Silence of the Lambs"), you can work down to "Best Supporting"
and so on.

3) Every movie on the IMDB "Top 250" list. (I got "Memento" off that
list. I'd never heard of it before and liked very much.)

4) Movie versions of all 40 Shakespeare plays. In some cases, you
might try different movie versions of the same play, to see what
you think of the differences. (One fascinating thing about real
quality is how it stands up to bizarre stretching. "Romeo and
Juliet" among drug gangs in Miami? It works. That "Canon Rock"
video on YouTube is another perfect example.)

I'd be astonished if you couldn't find at least 5 versions of
"Hamlet" -- you might be able to do one play a week, a different
version every night.

5) Every movie on the IMDB "Bottom 100" list. <shudder>

6) Everything by Monty Python or featuring any of the Pythons,
except of course for "Suddenly Susan".


If you get sick of looking at TV, you could read every novel that's
ever won the Hugo. You could read every novel by Lois McMaster
Bujold. You could read everything by Mark Twain that's still in
print. You could read every book by CS Lewis (literally: last I
checked, every book he'd ever published was still in print, and he's
been dead nearly 45 years).

I got a copy of _The Hugo Winners_ at a used bookstore for $1; it's a
collection of short stories all of which won the prize. Excellent use
of a dollar. Also got a copy of _Isaac Asimov Presents the Best
Science Fiction Firsts_, which is a bunch of short stories that are
(so far as he could make out) the first time ever a particular idea
appeared in a story. The first reference to a neutron star, the
first story to include orbiting solar power stations that beam energy
down to Earth, and so on.

And don't forget books on tape. We've got a copy of _The Screwtape
Letters_ read by John Cleese which is simply hilarious.

Hmmm... I'll have to dig out the set of Enterprise Schems I have to see
which ones I have. (I know it is a set of about 12 sheets folded and
placed in a plastic carrying case. I think the sheets are about 12" by
24" or maybe smaller.)

At the same time, around 1977, I got the 100+ page 'Startrek Training
Manual'. (I think that's the correct name.) It explained a lot of the
technology.

You're welcome.
I managed to get my wife to buy the first, Serenity Blueprint limited
edition release, for me as a Father's Day present. (That set has fewer
documents than the present set offered but they were physically larger,
something like 24 inches by 36 inches.)

But now I have to buy this new release just to get the 23 new pages. I
guess it's good marketing for them. In this case, I don't mind so much
as long as they keep new, official, Firefly/Serenity stuff coming out.

Correction. They were 18" by 24". It's been well over a year since I
had them out of their shipping tube.

Yes the Franz Josef stuff...commercial releases under Paramounts'
contractors Ballatine and Bantam before they went in-house with
Pocket aka Simon and Shuster but Mr.Mandels stuff was produced as fan
items for fans and sold non-profit...just enough to cover printing
and materials and I think I received mine via Intergalagtic Trading
in Longwood Florida.
Ditto for the following site if you haven't already been there:
http://members.aol.com/FH1860/

I haven't busted into the drawer that they're in yet but I have at
least 3, maybe more of Mr.Mandels blueprints including the one-sheet
of his Constitution class naccell and his rendition of the armed
freighter from the TAS ep "Pirates of Orion". Which Berman and Braga
never watched or they would have realized that while their women are
green...the men are blue-skinned which is how they can pose as
Andorians and because CBS/Digital used the TAS ships as guides for
vessel that brought Charlie Evans to the "E" and replacing the model
from "Ultimate Computer".

Star Wars....I've only ever bought the Millenium Falcon prints
[don't recall the author] because its the only one from that 'verse
that I liked.

Corman,producer,low budget but fun to watch]
Hint: "The Magnificent Seven" & The Seven Samurai"
Now, "Firefly" & "Serenity" though a short & sweet run, is my
favourite!
However, TOS Trek is still in the top ten of my favourites,
Following Stargate SG1 but ahead of Farscape.

does size comparisons that I have visited in the past.

Conversely if you want to email me remove 'nospam.'
