No sense trying to make sense Rklenseth, people will believe what they want, and what they read in history books, and there is no convincing them otherwise.

You know what's really cool about Firefly? All of it's fans are in a higher intelegence bracket then the majority of TV watchers, like this derganged guy.

First off, if he doesn't want to go spend $7 to go see the movie, then he doesn't have to. Were not forcing him. So shut up about it.

Secondly, the civil war had nothing to do with slavery. The south origonaly seperated from the union because of high trading tarrifs (taxes) amoung other things. It was only when the civil war was in full force that Linclon signed the eminipation proclimation, which essentialy did nothing because at this time the south was a seperate country. It wasn't untill the war was over, and the south re-joined the union that this took effet.

He needs to go back to 8th grade history and get his facts straigt.

What a kook! It's so obvious that Firefly's war of secession has only cursory resemblances to the civil war. The war in Firefly was about economic forces, specifically the frontier getting tired of having none. Slavery wasn't even an issue in the conflict. Still, if slavery had been an issue it would be more likely the Alliance that seemed to support slavery. Certainly Mal, a browncoat, is firmly against the practice.

I find that most people who profess to "hate" Firefly never really got past the "aahww don't replace Dark Angel" feeling. They claim they saw many episodes and yet fail to accurately recount a single one without getting it all wrong.

My feeling is that like most race baters in this county, this guy has an agenda which has more to do with whose in public office than whether there is any real danger of real racial discrimination.

If this guy can't tell the difference between Firefly and the civil war I say it's probably best to ignore him.

ok, the thing that makes me laugh is in all the searches of websites. This is the only bad review, I have ever seen of firefly. I think that speaks more than any other point can.

Next is the fact that he nvr seems to address the fact that it's loosely based on the civil war. The whole "rape" thing is positively hilarious. Kaylee overcomes this through rivers strength. if you listen to the commentary thats a summarization of how joss described it.

o second posst bye the way

I have seen a few bad reviews of Firefly but most of them are outdated and go back to when the show was still airing.

There are a few bad reviews on Amazon.com but very few.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

very well said,

though there are many, many godless and inhuman acts carried out in the name of "god"s" that have no basis in their teachings only the overzealous passions of extremists.

but sadly there are such violent hate-filled teachings as well.

I know it's a drift from this thread in a thread, but it actually brings us back to the SCi-Fi of Firefly.I wonder if we will learn more of the "Philosophy" of Reavers.

MAL
Reavers might take issue with that philosophy. If they had a philosophy.

Mal: “See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown!”

"but sadly there are such violent hate-filled teachings as well."

I suggest reading the Qur'an (Koran) or even just an introductory book on Islam then deeply reconsidering that statement.

O my Lord! bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous.

SergeantX,

Better late than never but here it does. I am struck dumb by the audacity of your statement. It is the equivallent of saying that Jesus was responsible for the Holocost, which is the farthest thing from the truth. I find your comment both ignorent and insulting both as a Muslim and as a human being. The acts of extemits (few or many) are not the acts of a religion or its god (who, by the way, is the same god that Christians and Jews believe in, "Allah" is just the word for god in Arabic) and it is deeply saddening to see a post like yours.

Those who restrain desire, do so because thiers is weak enough to be restrained.
