clone wars season II — Page 2

right....

strong words there

No you're not, we've seen your FaceBook page.

The teasers for season 2 actually look pretty interesting. I just hope it all goes somewhere...The clone wars [in universe] only ran for about 3 years, right?

Are you a politician, or were you one in a former life?  Because you just went out of your way to say basically nothing except to try and guilt me into thinking highly of you.

FAIL.

Stop trying to force yourself to sound intelligent and answer my original question - what do you consider a "good" show that shouldn't have been cancelled?

Why should I answer your question? Your question was just an attempt to get me to play be your rules and do your thing (and came from the assumption that what I had already posted wasn't contributing or valid so that I needed to post to your specifications to be contributing). Why should I play by your rules and do your thing? Especially after you'd just been hostile to me? I wanted to state my divergent opinion on Firefly's cancellation, so I did. I had no interest in listing Fox shows I liked, so I didn't.

Also, it's inaccurate to say that I went out of my way to say basically nothing. I went out of my way to counter the mistaken and offensive attitudes expressed in your statement to me. The issues in question matter to me. So, far as I'm concerned, I said quite a lot of significance. Maybe the issues involved don't matter to you, but they do to me. Nor did any of what I said have anything to do with guilting anybody into thinking highly of me -don't know where you got that idea.

As for forcing myself to sound intelligent, I wasn't forcing myself to sound anything. Though it could be said I was trying to force myself to be patient in the face of your unwarranted hostility.

Just because a person's post doesn't do exactly what YOU want it to do doesn't mean it qualifies as "FAIL".

Do you always get aggressive and rude with people who express opinions you don't like or who don't choose to do exactly what you want them to do in a conversation?

Edit: Jeez, I even apologized to you for my view bothering you, in my last post, and you still continued to be rude and aggressive with me. Nice one. So much for my attempt to be conciliatory.

Hardly a big deal, I think, and I'm a fan of Firefly.  I love Firefly.  Had I known it existed when it first aired, I would have watched it religiously and campaigned to save it when it was at death's door.  However, VINH is totally within his rights to have wanted it and want other shows to be cancelled.  It's his opinion, and it doesn't change what happens.  Hell, I wish American Idol and several other reality shows would be cancelled and never spoken of again even though many people I know like them.  Am I somehow spoiling their fun by wishing those shows' demise?  No.  Granted, in their case, they can laugh all the way to the TV since those shows are in no danger of being cancelled, but no matter how much VINH hates Firefly, I can always pop in my DVDs and marvel over how wonderful it is.  Whatever...

 Thank you. :) Now that's the reasonable way for a Firefly fan to react to my view.

Personally, I think the word "overrated" is vastly overrated. At the end of the day it really doesn't have a lot of meaning behind it. There are many things that I absolutely love that others couldn't care less about, and many things they care about I couldn't care less about. Likely in their opinions my crap is overrated, and in my opinion their crap is overrated.

Well that thinking runs by the assumption that it's all subjective and relative. I don't subscribe to that view. I think some things are good and some things are bad and that if something gets considered to be better than it actually is then it's overrated.

GARBLAHERGHEREFG!  I AM VERY ANGRY AT THIS 'OVERRATED' COMMENT!

I will now calmly sit down and do nothing because I cannot stand for this.

 Well, that was honestly a stronger reaction from C3PX's fan(s) than I expected...

Maybe I need to go rethink this...

You can remove those () from around that "s". "Fans" most definitely needs to be plural, I have fans and lots of them!

 

@rcb, Senor Gaffer Tape is very much a he not a "she". Don't let that avatar fool you (you wouldn't be the first, I might be way off on this, but I think there may have been a past incident where another male member made that same mistake and came onto him...).

EDIT: Oops, due to my slow typing, Gaffer beat me to the punch in correcting the gender confusion situation.

 yea, i wasn't sure whether to say he or she. srry about that.

btw, im a fan of yours also.

Believe me.  It doesn't bother me in the slightest.  No need to apologize.

And it doesn't bother me when people call me yellow-skinned.

The show isn't terrible, unlike the prequels, but that's got a lot to do with the fact that when judging it we didn't hold it to the same standard. Taken as something that's supposed to be real Star wars it's still pretty shallow and superficial, and turning mainstream star wars into an animated show is the next step in progression from fillling the prequels with cartoon characters and cgi. It certainly isn't anything like the OT.

they'll be doing the story of luke skywalker t.v. series after clone wars.

i don''t mind the cgi, but it makes the characters look weird and im kinda wanted to c live action characters take the roles of the characters.

rcb, do you have a link for the bomb you just dropped there?  Is it reimagined (the horror!) OT, or like the Empire or Republic comics where it takes place betwixt the movies?

 i don't have a link for it, this was like a year ago after the clone wars series started. as far as i know its still happening, then again, it may have been a rumor. however, its been talked about in other forums such as the force.net and jedi councile. last i heard though this was a planned thing.
