Quick question: I was getting ready to record an mp3 email in response to the "Why Serenity?" piece, but now I have a question -- an embarassing one, since the only reason I have to ask is because I'm still catching up on parts of Season One that I missed.
Has anyone ever done a piece on Jayne's character arc in the movie? If so, can you point me to which episode? Or, if not, do you want one?

We kind of did Jayne's character arc across the whole of the Firefly/Serenity span in (season 2) episode 1, if that helps.

I am either growing old, stupid, or both, since it's not as if I didn't listen to that episode. D'oh.
Guess I need to go listen to it again, heh.

Great job. Oh and glad you brought back that bigsingalong at the end of the podcast... I really get the tingly feeling listening to that...
I love the management skills section... reminds me of a course I took in undergrad for the complementary credit(Im in eng), and it was OB organizational Behaviour. Man they should play those clips in that class!
Onre thing...which I know its pointless but its fun to point out, in terms of the management skills and the need to know.. there was one really great example of that, which was Bushwacked...where Nathan assigns tasks to a few members(who arent the proper crew) to keep their minds off of a problematic situation(the booby trap), and how he tells kaylee, zoe and wash the real problem and they deal with it. If he told everyone..... there might ahve been panic and chaos...which nathan doesnt want.
Also love the badger piece.... quite fun.... (especially tyhe playing of rivers voice in the background.. cool effect). And the meaning of Serenity....its funny how we all have our own definitions of Serenity. I think in response to that, if viewers submit (maybe you on the podcast can request that), what the term serenity means for each fan. I remember seeing athread, and its interesting and touching... how the term and show(and the ship) means to each fan. Anyways great job... looking forward to the next episode.

I agree, that is a great scene in terms of management methods. I'm planning on referencing it in another Cap Rs Way segment. Possibly "Crisis Management".

Anyone know when the show notes are going to be up, there was talk about a contest for a signed poster, and I was hoping to get the link to it, but the show notes just say underconstruction.
Thanks for any help. |

How nice for Badger to get such a sweet article. You don't have to move in the BDH's circles to run into cats like that (just like you don't need to work in an office to meet a David Brent) so there's always that extra little part of me thinking, "go on Mal, slug him in the chops, I got your back", whenever he's on screen. Yet somehow it's always good to see him again ...
Speaking of badboys, man it was awesome hearing Jubal's tune like that, one of the best examples of Greg Edmonson's use of non-western themes. His expansive pallet helped hugely to gave the 'verse such a feeling of depth and that haunting melody line in particular fits so well with the coolest villain in the series, the Big Bad Wolf of bounty hunters. I like to think that (in Firefly time anyway) he got out of that little pickle he found himself in last time we set eyes on him. If I had a billion dollars, first I'd by Joss a new series and sequels, then a Jubal spinoff.
Speaking of bounty hunters, the Cowboy Bebop piece was real cool. It was the first reference (along with the obvious Han and Chewy one) that popped into my head when I discovered Firefly, mostly because of the shared aspect of always being short on dough and therefore being forced to take jobs they might otherwise steer clear of. The other main thing they share, like you say, is the awesome soundtracks. I think you strike exactly the right tone with the piece too, the way you say it's more interesting to highlight similarities than differences. I'll just say one thing to anybody who hasn't seen Bebop but might check it out ... watch it with subtitles, not overdubs, and it'll be a hundred times better. The engish voice "acting" is almost comically weak and diminishes the impact of the whole experience by several orders of magnitude.
Speaking of impact, it's so good to have the Signal flying again, I'm happier than a drunk mudder. |

|

Hey there, Signal Crew! This is my first post and honestly my first forum experience. I've just finished catching up on all episodes of The Signal (I was a rather latecomer; downloaded the first episode in mid-January).
Excellent show, all! I actually just emailed signal@serenityfirefly.com to say that and a few other things.
This particular question, however, is better asked here, I think: Are there any ways for outsiders such as myself to contribute to the making of The Signal at all? It's such a fun experience, it's hard not to want to be a part of it. Of course, I realize that not everyone can; you guys seem to have enough contributors to be getting on with at the moment. However, I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks!

The questions at the very, very top of my list would be: (1) do you have any experience in audio editing, and (2) would you be prepared to spend several hours a week doing exactly that? If the answer to both questions is yes, you're in!
But we're not short of writers or voice artists, so if your relevant skills lie primarily in those areas then unfortunately, our crew is full.
It is fun though - you're right about that.
Many, many thanks for the offer though - and if you happen to be an audio editor, get back to me!

Hi there. You must be Jill. You do an excellent job with the editing (and writing), by the way. I must sadly inform you that I have an unfortunate lack of skill in that area. I am pretty technically savvy and a quick study, but I'd imagine that you're not looking for a trainee. 
Ah well. I shall resign myself to being "just" a listener.
Thanks for responding!

I don't know if anyone has to resign themselves to being "just" a listener unless they want to. Even though there are no openings on the crew, every listener can contribute by sending us emails (audio messages are even better). Some emails & forum posts in the past have planted the seeds that have led to future segments for the show. We have also used unsolicited non-crew made pre-procued audio pieces in the past: the "Bubba-Fett" pieces in particular come to mind - also see the earlier thread on this forum entitled ""Travel in the Verse" segment" which I think will be airing in this forthcomign episode.

Well, that, at least, I have done. Thanks for the response, Les. I'll keep checking out the forum, and if I ever think of a fabulous idea, I'll post it and see what happens.

Actually, a trainee would be cool.  The real big thing you want to consider here is the several hours a week thing. I'm not kidding there. If you, or anyone, were to sign up as audio editor, then, trainee or not, you'd probably have to give up at least five hours a week doing stuff. That, really, is the thing that you should consider before volunteering any further. You sign up, we will keep you busy. (In fact, you'll have so much work that I don't think you'd remain a trainee for very long).
If I haven't frightened you off yet, and you still want the job, PM me.

I agree with Bucho. It took me several weeks (sometimes that happens with the Netflix queue; you all know how it is), but I finally started renting the Cowboy Bebop DVDs. I have to say that, while they're not Firefly, they're quite good, and have a very similar "feel."
There's differences, of course--hyperspace "gates" and whooshing-even-though-we're-in-space sound f/x--but the similarities are striking. A gang of folks who are kinda questionable; lots of guns instead of lasers or phasers or whatever; a funky, interesting soundtrack (I especially like the blues of "Sympathy for the Devil," and the lonesome slide guitar of "Waltz for Venus" was very evocative of Firefly for me); honest-to-god adult plotlines that don't treat you like a dolt. Yup, it's good stuff. And for all you non-Anime folks out there, I am with you; I am most definitely not an Anime guy--it usually annoys me--but this is worth overlooking your issues with it, in my opinion.
(I disagree about the dubbed vs. non-dubbed versions, though. While I am generally an anti-dubbing guy, this is animated, for cryin' out loud, so I don't find the desynchronization between the lip movements and the voices nearly as hard to deal with as I would trying to follow the action and read subtitles. I think you would miss a lot of nuance in the facial expressions of the characters if your eye was constantly jumping back and forth from the subtitling to the picture. Just my opinion, of course. And yes, I have tried both with Bebop, and yes, I've watched plenty of subtitled films. Heck, I'm a pianist; I'm used to looking at more than one place at once.)
So anyway, thanks, Signal crew, for the pointer. It's definitely helping my Firefly withdrawals. |
