Not sure if these are really hugely unpopular, but:

1) Fanboys, it is not the River Tam Show. I don't care how hot you think Summer Glau is and how much you want to give her nerdbabies. River was much more effective when she was the mysterious girl in the box, who was broken in the brain but could shoot three guys with her eyes closed. Turning her into River the Vampire Slayer was ridiculous, Joss.

2) The shipwars. God, the shipwars are ridiculous. Honestly, my shippery is whacked when it comes to this show. I believe Mal/Zoe and Wash/Kaylee are not only valid ships, but just as canon as anything else. I believe River/Simon is absolutely canon, and that Jayne and Simon had more chemistry with Inara than Mal. I do not believe Mal would fall for River, nor would Jayne. I don't think Mal, Jayne, or Simon are sly in the least.

3) God, I miss the Asians. I miss them more every time I watch the show. I love our cast we got, they're lovely, but if you're going to be all faux-egalitarian and claim China is the co-dominant culture. If you're going to exploit their culture and language and dress. YOU NEED SOME GODDAMN ASIANS.
