Is your use of the word Shiny here by any chance a reference to the Firefly series? -and Nathan Fillion?

Did you ever see the Season 4, episode 21 of Castle? The one that guest stars Adam Baldwin? Baldwin basically plays his Jayne Cobb personna, and it's funny as all heck!!

Saw that one. How about the one where they went to the sci-fi conference and every other joke was about Firefly?

I liked the end where Stana wore the mini-skirt and mask, and Whilliam Shatner's song! Oh yes, and ALEXIS!!!!

What is a "shiny"?
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi

I'm probably the only person on the planet who just wasn't into Firefly. Which is really weird because usually, I love sci-fi. But to me I guess that was the problem. Firefly was just too much Cowboys in Space for me, and more cowboy than space.

Has anyone made a Serenity model?

No shiny yet..... hope it didn't get lost! :unsure:
toastie posted Sat, 26 January 2013 at 11:49 AM
Yay! The shiny arrived! :biggrin:
The box was sopping wet - obviously been dragged through the Atlantic and dropped in a few snowdrifts on the way, but it survived!

nope... your not the only one..
and the term shiney was around long before firefly... we were using it in the 1990's for a term meaning "new toys"..... as in "OH Shiney!"

I agree with Khai on both points. Never even heard of the show.

Only the best Sci-Fi show in the last 500 years!!! Before that we had only Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost!

bollocks. we had / have Doctor Who, Blakes 7, Star Trek, Ultraviolet, Flash Gordon, Thunderbirds, Space 1999, Star Cops, Red Dwarf, Stargate, Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Space above and Beyond, Sapphire and Steel, Babylon 5, ....
I can can go on. a lot. there are many fine SF shows other than firefly.

Trying to catch up on the Firefly phenomena, I enjoyed the film Serenity but haven't caught many of the original episodes.
It would be seriously remiss to forget the series Lexx. Probably my favorite after the Pertwee, Baker Who's.

Testicles!! Nothing beats Nathan Fillion drawing down on an enemy!

Gonads! ;)
Whoops, sorry, thought this was another "norks" thread.
Yeah... it's many of the shows listed by Khai-J-Bach, for me...
...Flash Gordon with Buster Crabbe being the first I ever watched, and therefore being fairly unsurpassable because of that...
...but then I've not yet caught Firefly either. I will definitely have to give it a watch. Certainly heard a lot about it.

i do a Firefly weekend twice a year, followed by all the Dresden Files episodes. usually the same weekend.

Ok, so what was the prize?
I didn't see the contest....
If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
