Firefly stank. Cowboys in space with a solar system with a huge number of terraformed worlds. And the famous atheist line of how there supposedly can't be a benevolent God in such an evil universe.

Personal opinion (obviously), but having the Wild West imagery so out in the open was a major turnoff.

Will also state that personally more into sci-fi with 'ancient hi-tech.' High technology and high culture. The sci-fis based in the future are--opinion again--lame (i.e. Star Trek, Firefly).

I get your drift, but I live by the phrase, “I’m no art critic, but I know what I like”.

The show entertained the heck out of me. One of the funnyest lines: Wash: “Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction.”

Zoe: “We live in a space ship, dear.”

The show had my wife and me laughing out loud on a regular basis. We loved it. ‘Course, I stopped taking science fiction seriously decades ago, which may be what allows me to suspend disbelief with this show. The actors just seem to be having too much fun.
