Finishing up Firefly.

Yeah, Firefly is among my very favorite of TV shows ever. The amazing mix of western with sci-fi, foreseeing a more believable future with specifics like the influence of the Chinese language, and then having such incredible situations, screenwriting, and dialogue - I'm so ticked that they killed the show, and then it makes me equally mad that Serenity did as poorly as it did. I was nothing but wholly impressed by Firefly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Not a fan of Buffy or Angel. Big fan of Firefly. Why? I haven't seen very many sci-fi western blends, so it was a bangin' good idea. There also is next to NO decent dialogue writing with good timing out there nowadays, especially in the sci-fi genre. It seems like every screenwriter worth anything has realized that if George Lucas set the sci-fi standard, they need to jump ship and make for some other boat. Firefly may or may not be the best thing since sliced bread, but I think it's certainly the best sci-fi series to come out since...(drat, I haven't liked many sci-fi series recently)...Babylon 5, maybe. =P

How ya doing, buddy?

It's the hip thing to do. Try to cut down those who are generally being heralded as good. Makes one feel important.

I understand everyone's point about it being a matter of time before Firefly sucked it up hardcore, but in the meantime, I don't think it was anywhere close to that. The brilliant TV studio will run a show until it's on the cusp of stupidity, then tie up the loose ends enough to satisfy the masses and pull the plug. I think it was cut prematurely - it still had a ways to go in terms of storyline potential before it got stale. All decent shows have to come to an end sometime - I'm not saying this was the next Simpsons - it just hadn't reached its peak yet.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm assuming he's talking about the premise of the shows, the dislike of which doesn't need logic. I didn't like the premise, can't be bothered to watch more than a few minutes of either show, but I assume that the thing that makes Joss Whedon stand out most in my mind - namely brilliant, snappy dialogue - is likely intact, despite the fact that I'm not interested in watching it.

That having been said, saying someone sucks at what he does because you don't like the premise is kinda sad.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, if they're looking for validation. Most emotion doesn't have a logical basis, though. I know plenty of people who say classical music sucks and then go out and listen to Britney Spears. While I think they're a bunch of complete morons, the fact remains that their opinion is logicless emotion (attached to supreme ignorance, but hey) and is valid as emotion.

Not valid as a point to make in argument, though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

While I don't find LeHah's insults to be funny most of the time, they almost never fail to be witty. If you ever think that they aren't witty, you probably are just missing an integral piece of the puzzle. Like this time. Not overly funny, fairly witty, and man you missed the point.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Can you both shut up now? That would be great. Thanks.

FELIPE NO
