As someone who just discovered Firefly from Serenity, and has now bought not only the compete series as well as the movie. Let me be one of the first to say screw Maxim magazine for their scathing reviews of both.

Allow me to demonstrate my full pettiness by not renewed my subscription next year. What would Mal say, "When you did it to my show and movie, you did it to me."

I don't generally patronize Maxim. What, pray tell, did they say about our beloved 'verse?

OOOOO! Do we get to organize a mob now? I've got pitchforks AND torches!

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

Yeah. They're no good.

And they're music magazine, Blender, is the biggest pile of misguided trash out there.

I've been told by a woman who writes for Maxim and Cosmo that Maxim is a more or less a toned down version of Cosmo for men instead of women.(I should point out she wasn't talking about the American version of Cosmo.)

From everything that I've heard of both I have to agree and thus will not read either based on pointless principle (I steer away from Cosmo like things.)

Welcome to the 'verse.

And good for you not renewing your subscription!

They have words in Maxim?

I didn't notice.

Wonder how talented you have to be as a writer to 'write' for them. KF

i actually enjoy Blender. they are a little misguided at times, but they are generally a great music magazine. it's just fun to read. i get sick of magazines like Rolling Stone who write like they are some sort of elitist pricks. Maxim on the other hand, don't ever read any sort of review they make. they're a joke. they make up their reviews based on how "cool" they think it will be. they don't even bother with the actual item. they review videogames months before magazines are even given advanced copies to review. and they give the crappiest ones good scores. it's a joke, that entire magazine is. so i really don't care what they have to say.

and on a sidenote, did Rolling Stone even review Serenity? because the last time i did a search on their website, it turned up nothing.

I'm very curious as to what was actually written in the reviews.

Screw Maxim?
Frankly, I'd rather screw a lightbulb than that miserable rag.

(Although the "His/Hers" section is always good for a laugh, same as with Cosmo.)

Just ignore them. The kind of people who actually read Maxim are the kind of Alliance prigs we don't want anyway.
