What I find slightly confusing and a little unnerving, frankly, is all the people on the Firefly/Serenity boards going "Episode 3 is great!!". Uhm. Did we watch the same movie? Do they not have ears? Have they wanked too much as children?
The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I'm not seeing Episode 3. And I own over 40 Star Wars books. I stand by Allyson on this.
Except that I like Season 6 of Buffy and Season 5 of Angel. But the idea, that I stand by.
Though now I do kind of want to see Episode 3 just so I can filk "Under Your Spell" with sith lyrics.
Star Wars was badfic from day one. Melodrama is badfic.
The next question: "Is melodrama bad?"
People need stark contrasts, it seems. If you can present stark contrasts while introducing the notion of "gray areas", you might have achieved something.
Have they wanked too much as children?
Ah, now I remember why I unsubbed from the Firefly thread. Such a mature attitude.
Goodbye.
Jessica, I was joking. Abeit badly. Clearly I've been blinded by the special effects.
Jessica, if you abandon Star Wars, well, we'll understand.
Firefly, though? All the wankers except me have fled.

Two comments:
(1) Huh. I didn't know that people can't like both movies.
(2) I can think of at least 2 other threads where this conversation would fit better than it does in this one.
I'm really really ready for someone to fix the typo that shows up at the top of my browser...
