Me squeaking about Firefly and me squeaking about TNA wrestling.

Firefly first:

2nd episode - "The Train Job"

I still love the barfight at the beginning, and I love how they didn't win. As someone who was brought up a Jacobite I can somewhat understand Mal's urge to get into trouble.

Zoe rocks so much in this episode. Because she is willing to point out to Mal that what he's doing is stupid but still back him up 100%.

I also like that Simon used his smarts rather than any strength that doesn't really exist.

I'm becoming more and more aware that Book is probably my favourite character. Which worries me. Him and Inara have a fantastic vibe going on.

I like how Mal knew enough of business not to ask what he was stealing and how that came back to bite him in the ass later on.

I also liked how the Sheriff was a decent guy. Those poor settlers.

My Nan didn't like the scene where Mal kicked Niska's right hand man into the turbine. Then again she doesn't like Mal. Me, I think it works because it shows that Mal isn't afraid to do bad things, but has his limits, such as stealing medicine. Also because Cronk, or whatever his name was, was never going to listen to sense.

Onto the TNA stuff, it was TWC referred to as "Classic" TNA. It was from 2003, the 7th of May to be exact, and yes I did go and look it up.

It was the one with the 16 man gauntlet for gold that Glenn Gilberti won.

But as you can guess, the match that I spent most of my energy over was James Storm v Chris Harris. And the dissent within AMW. Because it caused the bad squeaking because it's just wrong damn it.

It was all "please trust me", "I do, except you're hanging out with the enemy so really, how can I trust you." And then the clincher "Whatever happens you'll always be my friend." I made with the worried, happy squeaking, even though I know they're still a tag team.

I also really loved the ending of their match:
Storm wins, offers his hand, Harris walks away in a huff, Storm looks at him in digust and starts celebrating on the turnbuckles. Harris thinks better of it and goes back, shakes his hand, raises Storm's hand in victory and pulls him into a hug.

I'm not certain what I liked most, the idea of what the match meant to Harris that he was willing to stomp off and sulk about it, showing how much even a vague chance to be number 1 contender means or whether it was because you could tell that they were friends because in order to attract Storm's attention Harris doesn't touch him on the back or tap him on the arm, shoulder or leg. No, he pulls his trunks.

Okay, how you can tell this was made long, long ago. Jarrett is a face!
And Erik Watts is the big evil. The crazy big evil. WTF was he on about half the time?

And I must also squeak about the ending because when Gilberti was held up by the Harris brothers everyone around him, like Elix Skipper and Sonny Siaki all looked so happy for him. It's little moments like that that I like.

Also, in personal news, Newcastle don't want me for a PhD. I think I should be more upset than I am except the project wasn't really my thing, I wasn't expecting it because I didn't think he liked me and dude, I got to watch TNA and that always blows the blues away.
