Just because I wanted to stir up a controversy with something other than politics, I pulled these posts from the Talkback thread attached to the Ain’t It Cool News article that announces the new Universal site.

This first one’s a doozy, and has been edited slight for language probably inappropriate for fireflyfans.net—

Comment: Give it a break, losers. This show ******* blew...that is why it got cancelled. Poor writing, poor casting, poor premise. Whedon can always rely on his cult to support him to a point but they are never enough to put his mediocre product over the top. The Firefly movie will suck because the show sucked. I remember seeing a preview for one of the episodes where the Han Solo rip-off says some thing like, "A good man wouldn't do this", then he kicks someone who's down and says, "I guess I'm not a good man". With that, I knew I'd never watch. That was the stupidest, gayest, wannabe tough-guy dialogue I've ever seen, delivered by a hack. THE CAST SUCKED!!! The best part is, when that **** show got yanked Whedon tried to force-feed the cast to the rest of his cult! He cats that talentless black chick on Angel, where that plotline pretty much sunk the show, seeing how it didn't recover from the ratings low during that period. Then Jossy-boy shove that **** Han Solo loser into Buffy as the deranged Preacher Caleb, an utterly useless character. I watched the entire run of Buffy, but when he showed up and it was obvious that Whedon was trying to prove a point, I quit watching. In fact, I made a point not to watch the episodes with that douchebag, then tuned back in after he was killed off. Sorry Whedon, but I don't play your game. Basically, it come down to a bruised ego. Firefly sucked *** in every way. Anyone who disagrees is a blind Whedon-ite. It was SO horrible. Everything about it sucked, most of all the cast. They were HORRIBLE!!! I love when Jossy was asked about the cast for the movie and he smugly said, "Every. single. one. is. signed." or something like that, basically saying that, "I win FOX! I'll show you guys with my big movie!!! You'll see!". HAHAHA!! The movie will tank for the same reasons the show tanked! The writing, the cast and the concept are all UNLIKABLE!!!!

And if that wasn’t bad enough, here’s the cherry on top (no pun intended):

Comment: Who in their right mind thinks Gina Torres is good looking? SHE'S FUGLY!!! My god, and she still gets roles in which she is supposed to be DESIRABLE!!! ******* Am I in the Twilight Zone? She's a beast!! That woman a BEAST!!!!

Now, my question is— are there some people who are just not living in the same reality as we are?

Oh, bugger! Now I have to wait for someone to wake up!

Well you're never going to win an argument with someone like that but I for one would like to debunk the Whedonite theory. I've never seen anything else he's done. Maybe I should.

what is really funny, is these people were obviously watching all the shows and learning the actors' names (LOL)

personally when I don't like a show I don't watch it, so I couldn't tell you who wrote it, or who starred in it, or what other shows they also performed in!

such idiots these small minded trolls are...

He didn't even watch it the plonker! How can you judge a show on one line from a trailer.

Plus no-one gets away with calling the Captain a hack - actually I'm not gonna call him out because with a name like Sickboy I'm pretty terrified of what he might do. What sort of a name is Sickboy anyway?

Firstly, aintitcool.com is not known for tact or usefulness. Secondly, the rampant Talkbackers enjoy slagging each other, slagging all of the "pros", slagging anyone that shows the least amount of enthusiasm for anything, and they do so in a manner that makes conservative radio sound like a Harvard debate team. Suffice to say, trolls _aspire_ to be popular badmouthers on Talkback, as dubious an honor as that seems. They aren't worth the quadrillionth of the electrical energy to generate the pixels on your screen in order to complain about them....

Y'all, we should show some pity to these folk. Hard to watch the t.v. while wearin them pointed Klan hoods ....if your eye holes aren't lined up JUST so..... hee hee.

sickboy sounds like a perpetual troll in life. Best to let him simmer in his own misery.

Yes, I go to AICN for two reasons-- to get early news about movies and links to trailers, etc.; and for some of the best free entertainment on the Web, i.e., reading what the fanboys are calling one another. Some, I suspect, are just being provocative; but others, I fear, are truly dim, mean trolls who think the "anonymity" of the Internet is license for slander and bad manners. Hoepfully it keeps them off the street....

It is taken from a character in the movie Trainspotting. Nothing grinds my gears more than some idiot that bashes one of my shows without even watching!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
