Hamburg, the belle of the North, presented itself in the best light yesterday. Sunshine, no wind, and my hotel room had a drop-dead gorgeous view over the Alster. And I got to see a great exhibition about the Etruscans. Today, it's Geesthacht, a small town about an hour away from Hamburg, and we're gone from mansions to red-brick small houses, which are pretty in their way as well. (And I still have a view - over the Elbe this time.)
In between landscape admiring and working, I managed to watch the two remaining Firefly episodes I had not seen on the American DVDs which
bimo had brought along last weekend - turns out they work on my laptop, if not my DVD player. My grief and rage re: cancellation is as acute as ever. (Also: be an actor whom Joss likes, be rescued from unemployment for life. And you know, Jonathan Woodward is as good as Tracey as he was as Holden; Knox pales in comparison.)
Heart of Gold reminded me again that we'll never get to find out about Inara's backstory, which suddenly intrigues me as much as Book's does. And I wonder how the Mal/Nandi one-night stand ties with
londonkds' Mal theory. Never mind whatever has people in an uproar about the Angel finale (am still spoiler-clean and would like to remain this way) - I want more Firefly.
