Default Re: Firefly (The Series)...POLL

Well as long as we are bashing SiFi plot lines I would like to add something.

First of all let me say that I am a trekie. I have watched them all. I lost interest in Voyager for a while but I came back to it later after they finally found the right formula.

I loved B5 and its sequels and to this day I curse Turner for causing the end of Crusade which IMO had huge potential.

I was stricken when I found Firefly had been axed. I loved it.

Well enough of that onto my rant...

I am really starting to get pissed at the new Enterprise. As a trekie I have been watching it and I keep saying to myself WTF?

Problem one... Messing with this temporal cold war crap. It was interesting in the beginning but it starting to border on disastrous. They are abusing the Time Line way to much with this concept.

But the biggest problem that I have with Enterprise is that No one on the crew has died!! I mean give me a break. This is the first time Humans have been in deep space meeting Aliens. Getting attacked.. And not one crew member has died?!

They have all been badly hurt.. or in critical condition. They don't have replicators yet... Sick bay is a zoo of animals that are used in medical treatments.. But not one crew member has died!

There was one episode where they ran into a cloaked Romulan mine and a hugh section of the saucer was blown away. But guess what? No deaths... No missing crew member presumed dead.

I know they may be trying to be more family friendly. I am not saying that I have to see crewmen slaughtered like in the red shirts of old. But when you loose an entire section of the saucer.. You can not tell me that there wasn't somebody in that section.
