Because it's awesome to watch people try to justify their fannishness for TW, the same way it's funny to hear comicbook fans justify their silly obsessions etc. With Orange it's most amusing because he *can't* just say 'it's crap and I like it anyway', and if you say 'lol unfounded optimism' he GETS SHIRTY instead of admitting that yes, it's unfounded optimism but he wants his pet show to improve anyway.

I watch all kinds of appallingly bad shows, and if someone says they suck, I can agree with them. Orange can't, because he's A Fan, he's a hopeless optimist, and his wild fannish speculation is always a highlight. :)

I'm not even sure what you're getting at with your bizarre roleplay, I'm afraid. :(

Dialog between you and the person who's taste you're pissing on.

If it didn't fly don't worry about it - not every attempt at humor works, after all. Maybe it's just more crap in a thread about crap.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.- Malcolm Reynolds, Captain of Serenity, which sums up my feelings regarding the lawsuit discussed here.
