Five years of regret

[catalyst2]

This is how they promoted Firefly? Holy crap, it's a miracle that even one person tuned into watch that story with the "six-shooting spaceman ... pilot savant ... tough guy named Jayne ... cosmic hooker ... girl in a box"! Later "Out there? Oh, it's out there!" Just shoot me now!

If that had been my first exposure to Firefly, I think I would almost definitely NOT have watched it. Any time I see "quirky" in a network promo, I translate that into incoherent scripting and inconsistent characterization - and then run away and hide until the trauma has ended or (slightly less melodramatically) just not watch to begin with!
