Let's just ignore the second one. He's just jumping on the bandwagon.

Will be insteresting to see if MrFlix posts anything after watching some of the show :)

Well it seems like you have potentially done the job. Congratulations, lets just hope he likes it and is able to admit that he was wrong.

As for the new hater, ignore him, he'll go away.

There was one thing on Amazon.co.uk that made me chuckle. One person claiming that Firefly was worthy of but one star because no one died in it :)

Wow, someone insulting something they've never seen and causing a rukus.....sounds a little familiar somehow. Kinda like the 'verse is holding up a mirror. There was something similar here with I,Robot.

I agree. Thankfully, mrflix WILL bother to see the shows- or at least he sez he will!

BTW, there was something similar to MM's 9-11 going on, too. Closed minded is just closed minded- ain't no excuse for it!

One need only have a glance at the various Talkbacks on, say www.aintitcool.com (not for the faint of heart; makes South Park look like NPR) to get a sense of what much on-line fandom is like. We can surely do better than that! (though, I must say, STATIC gave me a fun new word to play with, above ).

One of the things which has always distinguished the FF fans from some other fan communities I've encountered is their level of graciousness. We know we are backing a winning show, and "Serenity's" green-light is a marvelous vindication of that security (as if we needed it!). For us to become so enflamed over this bloke's comments actually weakens our position, and reduces the chances that someone will give the show a chance, since it lends itself to taking entrenched positions (the general problem with meeting force with force).

It sounds like he's willing to give the show a chance, and I'd bet my last credit that this is more because of our enthusiastic descriptions of FF than because we called him names. Actually, it sounds like we hurt his feelings a bit and, to his credit, he didn't take the counter-flame approach in the end. Score another one for the "you can catch more flies (fire or otherwise) with honey than with vinegar" camp.

Keep flyin'

Well said Noocyte!

Now let's all hope that MrFlix gets ahold of that torrent and watches it. I have no doubt that if he watches "Serenity" first, he will fall in love and be a die hard browncoat.

I agree. Let's wait until he sees it and then says his opinion. I bet he gets hooked faster than you can say "No power in the 'verse can stop me!"

Looks like he posted his thoughts.

Wow, what an idiot. First he rips into a show he's never seen saying low ratings are enough proof that the show sucks. Then he turns around and claims that's not true when it comes to his favorite canceled show.

I hate hypocrisy

He certainly did, and as we all expected it seems he likes the show:

I fully retract my earlier statement. Color me pleasantly surprised. I was only able to watch one episode. The first one. I figured the show would be a glorified 70's era, space junker but no....no. The writting was there and it was not as cheesey I expected. Matched with superb effects, it's no wonder so many "Browncoats" are head over heels about the short-lived series. It could've been hit for Fox had they put some thought into it. I'm shocked that no other netowrk has picked this up. The Sci-Fi Network picked up MST3K for a bit after Comedy Central dumped it...and at best the show had a cult following just a tad bigger than (from what I have seen)that of "Firefly". Everything seems to click on the show and I look forward to seeing more episodes.

Now if he will just admit he is a Browncoat.

A complete 180 degree turnaround after only one episode. Seems that the ol' Firefly magic is still working.

I think it takes a lot more guts to admit you are wrong than it does to stick to a point of view.

So I say "well done" to Mr Flix. In fact, I think I'll go and post something on his board to tell him so...
