    Just thought I'd share the rather excellent mini-series on xkcd.com right now, involving none other than the cast of Firefly.

    The Race: Part 1

    Alt text: Great, and you JUST finished paying off the settlement over the Wayne Coyne hamster ball incident.

    Background: Both Randall Munroe (xkcd creator) and Nathan Fillion do actually have electric skateboards. For the Wayne Coyne reference, see here.


    The Race: Part 2

    Alt text: The Hammer + Captain Tightpants == Captain Hammerpants?

    Background: "The Hammer" in this case refers to Nathan's character in another Whedon creation, Dr. Horrible's Sing-along blog.


    The Race: Part 3

    Alt text: No, the best things about The Sarah Connor Chronicles were: (1) watching Sarah and Cameron try to pass for normal, and (2) Cameron throwing people and things through walls. Everything else was pretty secondary.

    Background: Yes, that's right - Kaylee. Not Kayleigh!


    The Race: Part 4

    Alt text: Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

    Background: Randall has a bit of a thing for Summer Glau.


    The Race: Part 5

    Background: Not yet available, will be online at midnight Boston-time.

    I like to throw the occasional eye over xkcd, saw this but didnt get it. A friend showed me a quick clip on youtube, and I just finished watching the entire series. It is fantastic!

    I cant understand why this was cancelled, its so god damn funny. The dialogue is really good, that last episode is fantastic (without the last scene)
