10/9 Birds of Prey, the only new show that can actually make Firefly look
watchable. 70 minutes of pure hell.
\_ Yeah. It sucked pretty hard.
\_ batman did not have a love child with catwoman!
\_ Um, actually he did -- on Earth-2. (Not really a "love child",
the two of them actually got married.) There hasn't *been*
an Earth-2 in the comics for a while now, but I see no reason
why the TV show shouldn't go back to that original
character concept.
\_ And you allowed your brain to retain this information...
\_ Apparently you haven't actually watched Firefly. It's the first show
I'm actually interested in seeing weekly in a while.
\_ I watched Firefly. You just have no taste. It was a total
snoozer and made no sense.
\_ Funny, it made sense when I watched it (every episode so far).
Maybe you're just retarded?
\_ I wasn't stoned when watching. Perhaps you could share?
I haven't heard someone use the word "retarded" as an
attempted insult since about 5th grade. Gosh, it takes me
back to simpler days... thanks for the memories, kid.
\_ Um, the fact that both you and I remember "retarded" as a
put-down suggests we're of comparable age. I'm on an
anti-pc kick at the moment. Were you asking me to share
IQ points? Sorry, they're non-transferrable.
\_ I was asking you to share whatever you were smoking
when you decided Firefly was worth watching or
interesting in anyway. Maybe the concept of happily
legal hookers got your boat floating? No guilt sex
with hookers who *want* to sleep with you? A good
deal for you I think.
\_ Ah, now your discontent is clear: your hookers
don't look that good. I can see how it would be
difficult to suspend disbelief when your sad
reality assaults you every waking minute.
\_ Now I know I want some of whatever you're on.
\_ Is it that much of a surprise that I don't
need brain-altering substances to enjoy good
characters and passable writing? Man, it
*is* a sad little life you lead, isn't it?
\_ You need to check the dictionary. Those
words don't mean what you seem to think
they mean. It's a one season show.
\_ You guys should exchange contact
info so you can get into a fist-
fight over it. I loooove you, motd!!
\_ this thread make my fucking day.
i don't have a tv and have
no idea what the hell they're talk
ing about, but it rules.
\_ This is the lamest conversation ever
\_ Which is lamer? The conversation or
the person who felt compelled to
comment on it?
\_ Self-referential lameness. Whoo..
\_ Okay, actual point that Firefly got me hooked--at the end of
the first episode, after having a fight (shots fired, knives
thrown, etc.) we get the following exchange:
Bad guy (about to be released by good guy):
\_ I was flipping through my cable yesterday and when I saw
"Birds of Prey", I thought it was an animal program, so I
switched to it. After watching for about 2 minutes, I
switched to a talking heads News channel. From what I remember
of the 2 minutes, there were like 3 girls in Birds of Prey.
One looks ok, the other 2 so-so. I still prefer watching wild turkeys
running around on Discovery channel. What is Firefly? Is it
about insects? The good thing is, now when people talk about
Birds of Prey, I know what they are talking about instead of
sounding like a clueless idiot, and having my gen-y cousinette
call me a retard.
"Keep the money. Use it to buy a funeral. It doesn't matter
where you go, or how far you fly. I will hunt you down. And the
last thing you see will be my blade."
Good guy:
"Darn." -- Boots bad guy right into the engine.
They've got me for the first season just for that moment.
\_ You mean the only season.
\_ Um, no. I mean the first season. It's already better
than the first season of Enterprise, so I'm confident
it'll get at least one more.
\_ I was semi-excited to watch the premiere, but I had to turn it off
after 20 minutes. It was that God-awful. I knew it was in trouble
the moment the daughter was supposedly crying over her dead mom.
Could her acting actually be any worse?
\_ Hey! That was *quality* acting! As a Batman fan I'm also
annoyed that they have the Joker doing his own thug work and
Batman just sort of "left town, I guess, gee, golly". Where's
the first and last season of Firefly when you need it?

\_ is't that a klingon war ship? is this some kind of startrek
thing?
\_ What's a cousinette? |
