Firefly and Silverado, I think both could have been great. Firefly is the best series from movie that never made it. Silverado has yet to be unseated in my mind as the best western ever made.

IMO, Firefly is numero dos – very close behind Babylon 5. Both, however, are head and shoulders above anything before or since — especially since.
YES!!!! B5 was an absolutely FANTASTIC series/show/concept. The character development was amazing. Have the entire series plus movies on DVD.
At MegaCon a several years ago, I got into a GREAT “Dueling Londos” with Peter Jurasic. There were people watching/listing and videoing it with multiple comments including Peter on how close my imitation was. We ended up having lunch together…….absolutely wonderful memory/experience.
Duckhunter,
Firefy was first. They made Serenity to give it the closure it needed.
I keep hearing rumors that there is a Reboot in the works but it is alleged to be Zoe and Washes daughter that is now the Captain of the Serenity, and Original cast members may guest from time to time. But so far it is just rumors and fanfiction
Looks like there might be a first class false flag operation underway in Russia at the moment, complete with men in uniforms attacking a peaceful Opera House, filmed in HD from various angles almost like it was expected…
Guess pootie got tired of losing in Ukraine and wants an excuse to threaten to nuke them if they don’t submit forthwith, or perhaps he intends to blame one of the countries supporting them and invade them, like one of the Balkan states…never forget that he was head of the KGB…much like Bush the elder was head of the CIA
I was on the ‘Supplementary Ready Reserve’ list for 10 years after retiring, this looks like sort of the same thing except way too wordy, we only have two classes of military, retired and not retired 😉 and if you’re retired you can’t be forced to go back. The last thing I’d want would be a bunch of pissed off retirees who didn’t want to be there and knew more ways to break things than anyone currently serving knew how to fix.
The first year I was in the SRR we had to report annually for a paperwork review and to prevent some common qualifications from expiring, but mostly to prove our uniforms still fit 😉
We also got a reporting allowance, meals and mileage. That lasted one year then it went to an annual paperwork pckage you filled out and sent back, no allowance 🙁
That lasted two years then it was just a periodic Security Clearance update by mail.
The original idea was that we’d take over the various office duties like record keeping, scheduling, etc. and some minor but still necessary jobs like unpacking things, keeping stocks of expendables replenished, tool crib or A/C towing. and free up serving personnel for the ‘wrenches in hands’ jobs on the line and shop floors since we’d be a little out of date with our A/C maintenance qualifications.
Good idea on paper, probably not so much in practice. I could maybe still do some of those today, but after 30 years I’m a little rusty 😉

The SRR was completely voluntary and most only signed up for the $300 year reporting allowance, once that disappeared so did a lot of them. I couldn’t be bothered sending the paperwork in to quit 😉

There is no such thing as too much range time. Prone, kneeling, sitting, standing, it’s all good.
“I love you any way.”
Large caliber, high capacity, long barrel, go slow, take your time, and squeeze.

The people who cancelled that series should be hanged

Indoor practice. .. Ear protection optional?
make sure you get a pair of thighs properly fitted to your ears, don’t be afraid to try a few angles to make sure you get it right.

I really hope not, unless Disney (who owns the rights) can get Tim Minear and Whedon involved. Otherwise, they’ll eff it up, royally.
They’d still bugger it up, that’s what they do
Well emojis didn’t work
Nice one Chris; thumbs up
Belt fed baby maker set on spray-and-pray 😉
Target acquired and serviced, repeatedly.
It has to be Friday…
Something, something, headspace and timing. Worst part about those Brownings was having to grease ’em against the salt-spray.
Indoor, outdoor, backseat, underwater…is there anyplace they haven’t practiced?
Still pondering that “long range” thing though… 😉
Is 9 months and 18 years long enough?
Takes some solid training not to pull the trigger…I don’t think I could do it.

Someone in DC gave Putin a heads up about this a few days ago, had the date wrong. Speaking of heads up, for any other ‘gruntpa’ here, this is going around. ‘Voluntary’ as of now… UTILIZATION OF THE ARMY RETIREE RECALL PROGRAM https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN40510-ALARACT_0172024-000-WEB-1.pdf
