You can’t take the sky from me
I’m mid-way through the Firefly DVDs and I’m loving it. I regret (among other things) never cluing into it when it was on t.v. I also bought Serenity, but I’m waiting until I get through all the episodes before I watch it. I haven’t even peeled off the shrink wrap.
This post’s title is a line from the show’s theme song:
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from meTake me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from meThere’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…- hat tip to the FireflyWiki
That’s a libertarian song if I’ve ever heard one. I usually have that line running through my head for quite awhile after each episode.
Did I mention that I highly recommend the series?
The series is simply awesome. Good idea to wait until you’ve finished it to watch the movie – it does somewhat stand alone but all the little in-jokes and nuances aren’t as obvious without watching the series first.
Don’t forget to check out the extras on the last disc – they put a lot of work into it, and while a few are sad they are well worth checking out (including the hidden one!)
“Hidden one.” You’re not going to tell me how to find it? This is just getting even for all those times I got to see new FeedDemon builds before you, right?
yes, yes it is :P
like all DVD easter eggs, it’s easy to find using a standard DVD remote; just keep navigating around until the selection goes somewhere you didn’t expect.
I will give you one hint – it’s on the first page of extras.
Welcome aboard mate. That is such a great series and movie. I hear that Sci-Fi may pick-up the series and talk of a sequel to the movie.
That would be great. Where do I get the brown shirt? :)
