I finally got my father to watch the pilot last night, thinking we'd have another convert.

So after it was over, I called him. Gaaah. He says he does not like hookers being looked up to, he does not like the language, he does not like the anti-religion references, etc. He says there are very subtle things in there that are bad and I should stay away.

Gaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!

Oof. Well, if he won't watch the 2nd half of Serenity, maybe you could try again when Mal's a little less bitter. I mean, in The Train Job he does kick Crow through the engine, but there's also the bit about saving the sick folk.

Good suggestion; I'm going to try to get him to by saying "at least wait to see the actress (Summer) that I got to meet". He is also very upset about Ron Glass being gay. Is he gay? I don't care but my dad sure does. He is upset that a gay man is playing a preacher.

Gaaaah...

well you can't win em all. Sounds like your dad is right on the money with his observations. If they contradict his core beliefs, what can ya do? =\

No offense intended, Riverbirch, but I don't care for your father's attitudes, and I'm glad he's not in my fandom.

ETA: I like browncoats because we don't think like that.

Never heard any rumors of Ron's preferences, but it just comes down to some lucky guy/lady getting a classy dude. I have to admit I have some problems getting past Inara being put on a pedestel (sp?), but I keep telling myself it is simply a lifetime of teaching that is telling me it is wrong. I know historically prostitution was much more respected ancient times. (Of course, as a woman, I disagree with the current definition of prostitution, and men using women for sex. I am talking about when the act itself was considered as a communication with the gods, a truly religious experience )Love the actress, love the character, just have to open my mind just a bit wider, that's all.

Some things are generational. I remember when I went to see Star Wars (back when there was only one movie that could be referred to with those words). I walked out with my entire world changed. My dad walked out saying that he was totally unimpressed. A few years later, he said he really liked "Clash of the Titans." Oy vey.

Of course, he also thought Pink Floyd's The Wall was no more than a long music video. *sigh* Sometimes, you just can't convince your parents.

Riverbirch, does your father have a problem with his brain being missing?

Hey folks, I posted to complain with people who would share in my misery, not to let my father get insulted. I tried to think of a quote and all I could come up with was: "I love my captain." But that sounds strange. LOL
