Saw it, didn't like it.
We have different tastes.
The difference is that you seem to want to tell me that the things I like are crap, rather than you simply didn't like them...
Why is that?
didnt like it!!!! didnt like it!!!! how could you not like it!!! it had spaceships and killer robots!!!!!!! and a subversive intellectual plot that dealt with all kinds of tough issues, in particular a clever twist on suicide bombing and terrorism controversially asking questions about the morality of the act during a politically sensitive time..........and it had hot ladies, ahem.
"We have different tastes."
no, you have none (when it comes to sci-fi tv). where i am blessed with the taste skills of a man made of nothing but tongues and noses.
"The difference is that you seem to want to tell me that the things I like are crap, rather than you simply didn't like them..."
its true i do enjoy telling people that their taste in films, tv and music are crap. its a case of attack or be attacked when it comes to these things in my world.
Why is that?
small penis.

Originally posted by googlefudgeYes, I too have seen movies with my family that we all enjoyed, but may not have gone to see if we had read the review first. So there are differences of opinion on what is good and bad.
No, it's hogwash if things don't agree with reality.
Critics are perfectly entitled to have their own tastes just like anyone else.
However their job is to review what they are watching 'not just for people with their particular tastes'.
A good reviewer might (should) mention that fact that they do or do not personally like something,
but they ...[text shortened]... They saw what they expected to see not what actually happened on screen.
Thus hogwash.

Why do you feel the need to insult the programs I/we like and rather unsubtly us as well?
rather than just accept the fact that different people have different tastes?

It's not about better or worse, it is about how different I am genuinely surprised at how different some peoples tastes are from mine.
This from Twhitehead
"I think Firefly was probably the best American TV series I have watched in the last 10 years or so"
Has got to be a wind up,
I think it is the fervor of the fans attachment to these soap operas in space that generates a less than polite reaction.
"Why do you feel the need to insult the programs I/we like and rather unsubtly us as well?"
I refer you to stellspalfie's earlier answer.

There is a definite pattern forming with regard to clever, strong atheist's, they like crappy, frothy T.V.
Hard not to enjoy the one dimensional escapism of The Avengers, but why anyone over the age of 13 would sit through more than one or two episodes of the others on the list: well it must be a 'wind up'.
I can only assume they represent a bubble b ...[text shortened]... Blakes 7'.
Oh there you go.

Originally posted by stellspalfieI know, brilliant or what, the subtle interplay of utter nonsense with bad acting and dodgy set's, I think the whole sub genre can be traced back to a 'roll in the hay' between 'Blakes 7' n 'Space 1999'.

I have watched quite a lot of it but eventually got bored. Maybe I'll get back to it some day.
I rate firefly much higher.
i suppose it was hard to get bored with firefly as it was cancelled after 12 episodes.

Originally posted by stellspalfieWell it takes all sorts dunnit? There's plenty of room in my viewing schedule for SF, and I loved the old west vibe. Battlestar Galactica on the other hand bored me rigid, I never got past the third episode.
oi!!! suzianne, googlefudge and avalanchethecat, you whedon loving super-nerds, hear this!!
he writes decent 'witty banter' and characters. firefly had a good cast that delivered the lines well, other than that the show and its story lines were pretty dull, the 'wild west in space' and 'american civil war' vibe was too obvious and made it feel slight ...[text shortened]... d yet to deliver a real bit of quality.
so put that in your geek pipe and smoke it!!!
