Rance Burgess. A 2D villain with bad dialogue. The actor does what he can with the part, but I really didn't like the way the character was written.

River - the eccentricity gets out of hand sometimes.

Quite frankly, Inara. I *love* the institution of trained, refined, legalized Companions, but I just have no need for her whatsoever. Even the sexual tension between her and Mal, which is normally the sweet marrow of things, doesn't interest me.

PirateJenny,
your streams of consciousness work fine for me.
Please feel free to ignore the punctuation fascists.

"any charators who annoys you on FF..C'mon be honest!!lol"

I have to say Simon. I like the usefulness of everyone else. Although he is the token "Doctor who saves the day/character" here and there, I just can't find the appeal.
His appearance leads me to believe that he is not in anyway related to River. I would like to think that's because they are really not related in the story line. The two of them bear NO LIKENESS as siblings supposedly from the same parents, and that REALLY bugs me. (superficial, I know , they are just actors)
I don't like Simon's lack of roughness, there's not much tumble in his appearance and action. I know he saved his sister from the hands o'blue, but it was done through payments and third parties. If it had been more of a jail break with him physically removing her from the diabolical blue handedness I guess I'd like him more.
Last reason, the simper in some of the things he says, especially to Kaylee. GRR!

Inara annoys me sometimes. Jubal Early annoys me altogether. I realize people love him, I just don't.

Most of the villains are too one-dimensional. Jubal talks too much to be an effective bad guy. Niska is too twisted on torture to be credible as a monopolist. The Badger is too damn petty. Blue Hands are too gruesome.

I prefer my villians with more subtlety. In order to have really good "good guy" characters, you have to have really good "bad guy" characters. They need to be just as credible, just as complicated, just as whole. Sometimes, they need to be just as good- people caught in situations that force them to do bad things, or even situations where doing "good things" can have bad consequences. I guess that gets to the nheart of my belief is that most of the ills in society are not caused by bad people but by bad systems. By making the bad people so uniformly greedy, stupid, and conceited you run the risk of downgrading the whole show.

It actually is the punctuation that bothers me. I can't tell what else you might be referring to...

See, I'm not writing an English paper or a book, either. I just don't want to look completely uneducated (for instance, using "careless", when I actually mean "care less"). But hey. If you want to look ignorant and uneducated, be my guest.

But really, what's with the insults? I mean, fascist?? I never threw any insults out. I'd come to expect better form this board. Seems to me you're are a little touchy. Perhaps because we can't seem to find the period on our keyboard?
