I notice they never get near Montana like so much else I'm interested in. We're a prime location guys! Almost every other hovel/trailer/dive/barn has their own junkyard in their front or back yard. Think about it!
I see a lot of people knocking 'Firefly' around. They call it a ripoff or not entertaining enough or confusing. Wake up and smell the cow manure blended with starship exhaust.
What isn't a ripoff these days? Most creators of art even take the time to admit and thank those that influenced their work. Space westerns have been around much longer than, oh say 'Cowboy Bebop' for example. Robert Heinlein and other authors have explored that genre before. So what? If an old idea is done well, it can bring enjoyment to new people.
It may not be interesting enough to you. Everyone is entitled to their opinions ('specialy if they're congruent with mine). I find it quite interesting however. Science fiction blended with sociological aspects appeals to quite a lot of people. Remember, it was fringe groups that got many science fiction shows the recognition they deserve. Examples: 'The X-Files', 'Farscape', 'Buffy', just to name a few of the more recent.
Confusing? Okay, I don't have a better answer for this. You're confused and you read Slashdot? Do you have an interpreter?
This is simply yet another symptom in the inability of people today (especially in the good old USofA) to take any responsibility, either individually or as a society, for their own actions. Anyone else looking towards leaving the country?
Slashdot Mirror
It's nice to retire here, so I've heard. It's not nice to try and work and play here when you're more interested in circuits than scenery.
