Don't Have Time Exactly Now...
... but I want to remember to read this later when I have the chance. You Firefly fans may want to take a gander, too.

A geeky girl living in the big city, making her way, the only way she knows how... no wait, that's The Dukes of Hazzard. Who am I again? Oh yeah, a pop culture obsessed writer, publishing person, and occasional nerd. And I'm getting married. I talk about that, too.

"In terms of the philosophical framework of the show, it's important to note a few things that will help us make sense of the unholy mess that is this movie: the linguistic difference between "River" and "Reaver" is negligible at best. That's always been the point, but it becomes medically precise in the movie. Likewise, the difference between "Simon" and Core Planet "Sinon" is similar, if softened. She's nuts, he's anal-retentive, but he's older, primary, so he wins. The centrifuge of the 'verse keeps it all centralized, and that is -- not some kind of weird obsession with the Southern side of the American Civil War, as some seem to think -- the point. Chaos, control. This is about Reconstruction, as Joss ever is, not slavery. Or it is about slavery, but not like that. Point being, Simon's shiny and beautiful but broken inside, she's visibly nuts, but knows the truth about everything -- it's just that nobody can understand when she speaks. Her signal-to-noise is ugly at best. They are the spectrum, and between the two of them, they fuck up everything they touch."
Damn... that's good.
