Firefly: Objects in Space

[altariel]

That was just... wow. I think that's one of my favourite episodes of anything ever. Up there with Sarcophagus and In the Pale Moonlight.

Edited to add: Why don't I say why I liked it?



1. I really like stories which are about lines or points connecting up people or objects, when then draw apart. The imagery was so strong.
2. I love ghost stories, or stories about the uncanny, where you can truly believe for a moment that the fantastic is happening. You can truly believe that River has melted into Serenity.
3. The dialogue and characterization were beautifully crafted. It all seemed right to me.

What was there not to like?

BTW I dreamed last night that there are actually four Blue Hands Guys because the hands, like the Peter Max cartoon version of Yellow Submarine, ARE the guys--the rest is just a mask to lull suspicion.
