WARNING:
TROLL POST

PLEASE DO NOT FEED

LET THREAD SINK

P.S. aimed at people trying to run petitions to cancel shows on thier own fansites...not those defending. Although we should defend the show we like we should not have to disprove something that is obviously false and meant only to incite conflict.

I agree 100%. Fire fly is a huge ripoff and people should know. Thanks for the link, I will DEFINITELY sign this petition and get others to as well.

Seriously, Space/Western is a valid fusion, and I can name at least 6 examples that came before Firefly. Firefly is just the first live action one I've seen.

Hell, THREE animated Space Westerns were gracing the air in 1986.

* BraveStarr - Typically Filmmation (same guys as the old He-Man) with the bad animation, cheezy characters, but occasional redeeming scene or ep.

* Sabre Rider & the Star Sherriffs - OK, it was a BADLY edited and translated verion of Star Musketeers Bismarck, but by American standards of the era, it was pretty good - continuity, characters, and mecha.

* Galaxy Rangers - I run the fanfic archive/best known page for this. 4-person cast. Now while I wonder who was a fan (GR's creator directed the pilot of X-Files, and there are some passing resemblances between GR and Firefly, there's no way in hell I'd call it a rip-off.

(The resemblance, BTW, is mostly in the look of the "border" planets, and the bad luck of the captains on both shows. Galaxy Rangers ALSO had its pilot shelved by suits who thought it was too slow, debuting with the third episode.)

I'd hate for FF to suffer the same fate as GR - well-made, mature, and a "labor of love," turned to a financial disaster by the ignorance of its distributors. I don't want Joss Wheadon sitting with Robert Mandell toasting "what could have been."

Let's celebrate the genre's new baby, not trash it.

Well I don't believe in online petitions either but I signed this one. Why? Because it doesn't matter since the show's been canceled already! Suckers!

So did Firefly have penis ships? All I remember about Outlaw Star is the penis ships.

All in all I'd say the space cowboy genre is bad.

Well, looky here, it's Mr. "I'll go to a show's fan site and make fun of it." What the hell is your malfunction? Go post something constructive on a site for a show you LIKE instead of coming here and pissing everyone off.

You're stupid. As mentioned many times in the other thread you all overestimate the effort I put into this stuff.

Why are you putting any effort into it at all?

TYLOR
