    I checked out the Devastator story at Sams Club yesterday, I found it to be cheap and hokey, as well as ridiculously overpriced. Bought my nephew this badass Nerf Gattling gun instead.

    Looking at that Devastator reminds me that I saw an ad for Transformers Toys the other day and at the end the V.O. guy quickly said "Actual changing times may vary."

    So sad. In my day you either understood they were only that fast in the cartoons and commercials or you broke your toys trying. You would never whine about it though.

    The middle one with Shatner in the short tunic reminded me right away of Zapp Brannigan in his uniform jacket with no pants. It takes a real man to carry off something like that!

    It was actually a 15 minute story but Shatner's and West's pauses inflated it to an hour.

    In reply to Six Things I'm Thankful For In Science Fiction
    Okay, this is going to be unpopular, but Firefly was not that great. Don't get me wrong - it was an awesome show, great premise, witty banter, and great actors - but a lot of the stories were weak (Heart of Gold? The Train Job? The Message?). Given a second season, the show probably would have better found its legs, but I don't understand when people hold it up as the end-all, be-all of modern science fiction. And I say this from a place of love, as someone who's Firefly and Serenity DVDs have a place of prominence in my collection.

    As much as Battlestar shat the bed at the end, there was enough awesome to make up for it. I wouldn't trade Roslin, I wouldn't trade Starbuck, I wouldn't trade Donna Noble or Rose Tyler or the Doctor, I wouldn't trade the Planet Express crew. Hell, given the awesome that was Children of Earth, I probably would think twice before trading in the Torchwood team. I would love it if Firefly came back, but to suggest that it was better than all of the shows that we've had in the past seven years seems overreaching, to say the least.

    @vulcanized: No argument here.

    Firefly was the adventures of Han Solo in the Cowboy Bebop universe.

    Entertaining? Yeah, for about 8 of 13 shows.

    Original? Earth-shaking? Genre-defining? Worthy of unflagging devotion by legions of obsessives?

    Umm... no.

    @Matthew Weflen: I don't think anyone is saying it was any of those things. It wasn't superbly written, it wasn't extraordinarily deep, or symbolic, or grounbreaking or whatever. It was just beautiful and charming, and heartwarming and fun and made you want to be around it. And that cute little thing it does with its nose when it smiles ? I just want to be near it.

    Seriously though, I do.
