Too bad I have already long since submitted my own review.

To those that have not, bury those negative reviews! It is obvious they are a very few against the overwhelming majority of favorable reviews.

Oh geez, I can't believe this...I'll make sure I post one today. Not that I can think of anything to knock about the show but of all things--THE WRITING?!! What kind of lame-brains were those people? There are many great things about the show but the writing best of all! Cripes.

Poor screenwriting is killed this show. It was a great idea with great characters but was too boring. None of the shows were interesting enough to make you want to watch it from week to week.

Okay, so TIM-MAY doesn't like Firefly. I just love, "Poor screenwriting is killed this show." I'm kind of proud not to like the same things as that person.

"You didn't have to wound that man."
"Yeah, I know. It was just funny."

I haven't had a chance to check yet, but let's also keep our eye on reviews on other sites - Barnes and Noble, Chapters/Indigo, and other sites that sell the DVD set.

Okay--I'm up. Hopefully my review'll be buried by other positive ones soon so you won't ever get to read it.

(Not that you need to. Honestly. What can I say? It's either post a few lines, or go on for pages and pages.)

I compared it to "Cowboy Beebop"--apparently a popular choice. I don't know if y'all have seen it, but it's like a slicker, more pop manga version of FF.

What's with the spammer recommending "zone food" /instead/ of FF? I realize they just go through amazon posting on everything that moves, but really. Are we supposed to think...hm, I want to watch that TV series I heard was good. Oh, wait, this guy says I'm fat. (I wonder if it has strong characters.)

Anyway, we should post in other amazon.com sites. NO ONE has posted on the french site. Guys, I spent eight years of my life learning that language (and living among them...). TELL me what you want to post it and I will TRANSLATE it for you. (f3k64@yahoo.com) I'll post/be available for translation when I get back homeside this weekend.

(That's not cheating, is it?)

German has /one/, and it's positive. (My german is scheisse. Anyone else good?)

Jeff Shannon (does he post here? It sounds familiar) posted the only one on the Japan site. (And it's very well-written and in English.)

So--let's concentrate on the foreign sites, I say.

No kidding. How reassuring to know that this guy wasn't burdened with an overabundance of education...

I've posted my own glowing five-star review on the page with no qualms whatsoever. Keep flying!

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

I think that the couple of one-star positive reviews are a good thing. There may be folks out there who are seeing all these five-star ratings and wonder, "Gee, I wonder if anyone didn't like it." They'll scan for one stars, see one and it says, "Wow, great series. Buy it!" Then they'll be all like, "Hmm, guess most everyone likes it." Then they'll buy it and the show will make it back on the airwaves at a regular time on a regular channel sometime after the movie is a box office smash hit!

No power in the 'verse can stop me.

Seems pretty obvious to me that these poor reviews are written by impotent self agrandizing(is that a word? or did I make it up?) Fox execs who whenever they see positive reviews feel embarrassed and ashamed by their woeful actions in cancelling Firefly.

Or the posters of these poor reviews could just be stupid..

Hey, should the reviews post right away? I did one a couple of hours ago and it's not on Amazon's site...

The reviews don't post right away. It took a few hours for mine to show up. Be prepared for your review to move off the front page very fast . There have been 21 new reviews (all five star) since Shiny did his breakdown.

I shaved off my beard for you, devil woman!
