i'm getting around to my last post, SRSLY.

Yesterday I realized that I kind of just... assume... that everyone in the (livejournal) universe watched and loved Firefly. THIS HAS TO BE FALSE, even among my friends list, thus, a poll:

I didn't NOT love it, I just...liked it okay. I felt I should clarify, lest I be chased with pitchforks and torches.

[elapses]

No pitchforks or torches-- Firefly was really fun but it has never ever been viscerally important to me the way... some things are. Which makes me assuming that everyone loved it even weirder.

[twirls]

my feelings:

1. you can't watch firefly and not say you love it. WOULD I BE OKAY NEVER SEEING ANOTHER FIREFLY EPISODE AGAIN? yes. Would I have experienced less overall joy in my life if I hadn't seen it? yes. you can't just have "liked firefly." That is not how the internt works.

2. As usual, your feelings on Bones are my feelings on Bones.

WOULD I BE OKAY NEVER SEEING ANOTHER FIREFLY EPISODE AGAIN? yes. Would I have experienced less overall joy in my life if I hadn't seen it? yes. you can't just have "liked firefly."
It is almost strange how perfect this assessment is. Way to sum up the Firefly experience!

I want to make all kinds of dramatic statements like "ANGELA/HODGINS IS ACTUALLY LAMER THAN ALL THE OTHER LAME TV SHIPS" but... that can't be true, can it? There has to be a pair that sucks more.

HOUSE/ANYONE THAT IS NOT WILSON (JUST STOP TRYING, DUDES. JUST. STOP. TRYING).
SHAWN/JULIET (SORRY IT'S TRUE).
VERONICA/DUNCAN (STILL BITTER).
BUFFY/ANGEL (I JUST PISSED OFF HALF OF THE INTERNET BUT I WAS ALWAYS LIKE "SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS YOUR TEENAGED WANGST HURTS MY BRAIN").

[elapses]

I am not familiar with any of these but Shawn/Juliet, BUT POINT CONCEDED ON THAT PARTICULAR FRONT. Ew, I knew Hodgins/Angela could not be the worst ever.

I actually just watched Firefly for the first time like three weeks ago AND LOVED THE HELL OUT OF IT. I really didn't think I was going to like it at all, but I had a really bad reaction to finishing it when I got to the end. I was really pissed that I didn't get to have any more lol. Very unexpected.

[elapses]

OH WOW, so it's fresh for you! Why didn't you think you'd like it?

[shimmeryshine]

It is super fresh for me, which is weird because it's been so long for everyone else! I am not into westerns at all, and I heard it was a "space western" and was like :/ But I know how much people love it, and JOSS, so I gave it a try. Now I'm like WHAT WAS I THINKING WAITING ALL THIS TIME?!

[elapses]

Hahah I feel the same about westerns-- now I kind of wonder if I would've watched it if a RL friend hadn't intervened-- I never watched Buffy or Angel so "it's JOSS" meant nothing to me. I mean, EVENTUALLY the internet would have gotten to me, I guess? BUT GOD FIREFLY IS DELIGHTFUL.

[famousdeaths]
