For the record, I had NO PART WHATSOEVER in the hijacking. That being noted, I wanted to add that I am thrilled the BDM is getting promoted in whatever venue. People who read are, in general, people who can purchase movie tickets. That is what matters.

Well said, Static, and thanks very much for posting the review. Nice to see a prominent voice speak up for Firefly.

I've read several of OSC's books (Alvin Maker) and adored them. As someone else pointed out earlier up this thread, he's a master storyteller and thus knows what he's talking about when he praises Firefly. I also *really* don't care about his politics (and I'm a girl who likes girls) - how are his politics even remotely relevant in the context of a rave review for our BDH?

Static, I'm very glad you brought up the review - my wife will enjoy reading it - she's a big Card fan.

Despite the fact that we both have serious concerns about Card's personal beliefs - and they do spill over into his writings at times - he IS a skilled writer (was once my wife's favorite), and I'm sure his review will help out the movie.

I'd agree - keep it civil, Simonwho (you've already apologized, and that's really, really shiny of you!), and I think we can all respectfully disagree on Card's personal beliefs.

Now, I've got to get my wife to the 'pute to see Static's nicely posted OSC review...

Totally agree with you. I personally have never read any of his books, nor do I know anything about his political leanings. But I know that he is a big sci-fi figure and that if the words from his lips about FIREFLY are ecstatic, then that'll help us. I'm just waiting for Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen King, Majel Barret Roddenberry and other sci-fi notables to give the BDM a leg up as well.

I think that because people are so into politics nowadays that this hijacking of threads happen. It's Bill O'Reily vs. Michael Moore. I'm sure if Mike endorsed a sci-fi series or something else that it would evolve into a political firestorm.

BTW, I know Adam Baldwin's political, but I've never read any of his political posts. Could someone point me in that direction? Is he left or right?

The task remains yours to keep a thread which you introduce "on topic." Every thread goes off on a tangent at one point or another, if you want it to go back to the beginning thought, say so in the thread.

I was very excited to read OSC's review, and dissapointed at the direction the thread was taking. I don't know anything about the man's politics. It sounds like I would disagree with them. But heck, I disagree strongly with Joss's support of Kerry, but I still love Firefly!

I think the review will help build momentum for the fanbase, as does every positive mention.

The other day, Scott McCloud (my favorite comics creator) mentioned on his site that he was going to watch Firefly after he finished Buffy. I can't wait to hear his (undoubtedly) positive review! btw-- I don't agree with his politics either. Hmm, is there anyone who's political view I do agree with? Nope, just my own!

I think it really boils down to Static being an extremely defensive closet homosexual. His hot wife is just a front. That's where all this hostility comes to play. And he fuels his own self-loathing by intentionally stirring up a lot of homophobia just so he can be gratified when the mulitudes of his own people come to their own defense.

So I'm going to have to disagree with Static's anger. ManiacNumberOne is right. It's all your fault. Ya big baby.
