Firefly (TV series)/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

{{work}}{{Darth Wiki}}

* There's this classic line about the Reavers:

{{quote|'''Zoe''': "If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we're very, ''very'' lucky, they'll do it [[In That Order]]."}}

* Once you see, in objects in space, the way Books mind works, you can't help but feel your skin crawl. Everyone else sees him as this kindly preacher man, what does river get to see? Just how twisted could Book really be. Joss said that Book was supposed to have a checkered past, and Jubal says "that aint no preacher". i can't help but feel terrified of how trapped River must feel, not able to communicate how scared she could be of a nice person. puts the whole hair/ bible scene a few episode before into a slightly new light

 

* The ending to ''Serenity'', where River is standing over a pile of slaughtered Reavers, blood dripping off her weapons, eyes wide and perfectly projecting how deadly she is at that moment, and then very calmly, slowly turning toward the Alliance soldiers, ready to slaughter them, too, without a [[Tranquil Fury|hint of emotion.]] Right then, you know what they meant when they called River a "living weapon."

* Let's face it: when River isn't defining [[The Woobie]], she is ''terrifying.''

* Just when you thought it was safe to land... {{spoiler|WHAM! Harpoon through the sternum. Way to kill off the funny guy.}}

 

* Or the R. Tam Sessions. Summed up best by the very last words: "Can't tell it. ''I'll have to write it down.'' * holds out hand for a pen* " ''[[Summer Glau]] should not be this freaking terrifying.''

* "I can see you."
