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.

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Have they wanked too much as children?
Ah, now I remember why I unsubbed from the Firefly thread. Such a mature attitude.
Goodbye.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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?
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The really great sites tend to be the responsibility of fandom.
Poor kevin, you tripped and fell in the guacamole. You be alright. Have a paper towel.

People can like both movies. Don't worry, I'm just slightly judgemental of Episode 3 from the point of view of, well, that's best discussed elsewhere.
If Fox point the official The Inside site to a Prospero message board I may cry. (I actually typed 'crap' just then, which worries me).
