jebbypalDamn, I think my hopes of not suffering any effects from the flu shot have just been shattered. Hopefully tomorrow won't be worse than tonight...especially since I'm mildly worried about taking excedrin for it. Hopefully sleep will do the trick.
So anyways, some musings about Shepherd Book that I've had since I've done all my research today;) LOL.
Sooo, if you use the projected ages of the actors to determine the ages of the characters in the 'Verse, you realize, that makes Book 46 the year the War breaks out. And 51 by the Battle of Serenity.
woooooow! So does that mean his midlife crisis entry at the abbey was a bit late or what? I don't know, I always imagined book younger because Ron Glass doesn't seem quite that old...or at least not that much older than the rest of the crew (for perspective, Mal and Wash - who would be the same age according to actor's years of birth - were 20 and 24 at the same time). I mean, yeah, 10-15 years, I imagined, which I guess fits, but still...wow.
I know, I know, age doesn't always make anyone wiser. It just struck me as odd when I started to think about it.
