**What I absolute cannot tolerate is the deliberate introduction of Old West ( cliched Old West ) anachronisms. It makes my ears bleed. It makes me want to gouge out my eyes. It makes me want to take a hammer and pound, pound, pound away at my skull until it fractures open and I can rip the gooey mess that is my brain out and stomp it into the ground. I hate it. It’s cornpone to an absolutely ridiculous degree and I curse Whedon for ever putting that abomination on the air. No matter how good the acting, no matter how nuanced the characters, no matter how exceptional the writing, Firefly’s very existence is an unholy affront to every fiber of my being.

Thank you, thank you for putting into words what I could not. There were a few good ideas in this show, but I nonetheless found it to be unwatchable. Literally. I couldn’t bring myself to finish watching the first episode, it was that bad.

I will shed no tears for the demise of this show, but Fox is still on my shit list for what they did to Futurama and Family Guy.
