Confessions of a Liberal Puritan

Interesting comment on Javert. I've always found him an interesting character, and even have sympathy for him. We all know people who can only deal with black and white, who never listen to reason if it doesn't fit within their world. Also, he has some of the best solos and duets in the show. After all the comments I've seen/heard/read, I'm a little concerned that Crowe won't be up to the task, but I'm gonna go see it anyway.

Also, I've been thinking for several years that I need to write a Firefly fanfic (or essay?) with The Operative as Javert and Mal as Jean Valjean. Not quite sure how to make the comparison without being heavy handed though...
