Well, that's not her phrasing. I was paraphrasing. She said she couldn't figure out why someone who hated the show so much would still bother posting about it.
Um...well...gee...could it be there would be things about the show that I *miss*? That I'm frustrated that it was thrown away? That there's little to no exploration of other cultures and introspection and that it looks like almost any other SF show out there?
That just because a lot of people love Vala and adore her, doesn't mean we're "bad fans"? I think that's fucking rich, if you ask me. Sam fans, take a bow.
I definitely prefer the company I keep as a Vala fan versus the Sam fans. A 'bad fan' doesn't watch the show, isn't that a better definition.
We care enough to want the show to be good, in my mind that makes us the true 'good fans.'
I was just thinking about the early years today and all the neat places they visited and original races they met. The writers have gotten so lazy they don't bother with that sort of writing anymore.
