what do you know? you think firefly is good <runs>
I read your posts but it still seems like if you dont like something you stop watching it however the underlying thing that you're not saying is that you DO like it but are disappointed by some of it not all of it. I can live with that.
but it's not going to change in any fundamental way to make it more appealing to you; they already have a winning formula (highest debut rating on basic cable ever in a drama)
I never said that or implied it. I said that since they have such high numbers they must be doing something right (right in the sense that they're attracting huge numbers). Full Houise was in the top 10 in the ratigns for years. obviously millions of people cant always be right but the point is that they've created a drama that appeals to a very wide demographic that isnt just fans of zombie films
also why you getting uppity? I thought we were having a nice conversation
knut said:why aren't you reading my posts? because i, and i presume like so other many people, do not find sitting down to watch television a strenous or agonizing experience. it's 40 freakin' minutes of television that has a attachment to a universe i am very much personally attached to - it's just like you being a conan fan and sitting down to watch the conan rehash, only except i didn't go into it with no hope. i still sit through this relatively easy task of watching the show because i've still got some hope for redemption and - once again, stern - because i enjoy sitting down to watch television; the experience of it, the storytelling and the pacing watching characters play out parts and roles and tasks and whatever else.

and i guess you might of missed a point where the show might of got better AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STERN DO NOT come back saying how sex in the city never did get better, i am being hypothetical and speaking more ''what if...''. case in point: before season two premiered, we were told both the writing staff and darabont were out. that's a hook right there, and who knows what will happen come season 3? next summer we could be hearing that danny boyle is going to take over and all the actors are going to be fired, and i'm going to keep waiting till it gets better. i don't agree with your point about millions of people not being wrong, but at the very least it's a silver lining that this show is going to keep on having third and fourth and fifth chances to be good. you know why i'm going to keep waiting and watching? because 40 minutes out of my day to watch something that has the walking dead attached to it is something i'm going to keep an eye on.
