I think so too – it’s undefinable but definitely present. A very real, solid quality. I’ll be following him, that’s for sure

Mr. Anson Mount, according to us who actually live in Hollywood, is defined as an actor who possesses “IT” ~ as did Humphrey Bogart, Montgomery Clift, Clark Gable, and Spencer Tracy. “IT” ~ that undefinable certain “something” that makes Mr. Mount a true “Star”!

Yes, I have watched, and loved Firefly. The rest of your post? Not really sure what point you’re trying to make, other than generalized rant.

I do happen to think that gritty space opera has gotten a bum steer, mostly due to some goofy need to remain positive or the terrorists win. Or something.

Oh yeah – that shaky cam thing? Made of awesome

What complete bollocks!!! The original SF genre was about the unknown and the human condition of the mind, and “Space Themes” explored that. Movies that spring to mind were “Forbidden Planet” and “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, et al. Also, have you actually watched Firefly? There was none of this horrible modern habit of camera-shake that so ruins so many films and TV series these days, and the humour was black, but was there. The main characters were heroic, and they were great. Firefly is what Gene Roddenbury actually described Star Trek as, a wagon train to the stars. It was the final frontier meets western exploration, with a healthy dollop of the old outlaw tradition. Yes the ships were battered, as were the people and the stories they told, but it was the fringe of the clean and anticeptic traditional space universe. It is there even in classic Trek. As to the success or failure of Firefly, to my mind it was a successful series that was cut down before it was given a chance to flourish by agenda’s of the anti-good-entertainment executives in Hollywood (So we won’t know what real decent entertainment is, so that we do not turn down the actual rubbish swept-up off the floor and served up as top class entertainment that serves as much – about 98% – of the TV we are given) Many decent series have fallen foul of this idiom lately, including “Chaos”, “Human Target’, and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”. Most are buried by un-readable and unscheduled showing or just not aired at all. Then they are called a “Failure”. Firefly fans proved different, they demanded more, and were rewarded with a really decent movie, and we are still waiting for more TV or movies… So you need to go out and buy “Firefly”, and the movie “Serenity”, yes buy, not just download it, and watch what decent entertainment is all about. Maybe if Hollywood would measure the success or failure of a show by their DVD sales rather than their ratings by a mindless pet audience (“Neilsons Ratings”), then we might see decent entertainment return, and reality crap die the horrible death it should have many years ago. You also forgot to mention other decent SF movies of late, starting with the 1998 ‘Lost In Space’ and coming up to date with this years ‘John Carter’. Also there is much of the SF genre in Joss Whedon’s upcoming ‘Avengers’! Sorry to nag, but your ideas are generally sound, just a bit wrong too…

A moat is a good start, at least until you can move to a sane, civilized country Seriously though, if the will is still with you – stay and fight. It’s YOUR country.

I’ll start sending you money soon so that you can build me a guest room at your place. I don’t know how much longer I want to live in the US… Or maybe I’ll just declare my house a sovereign nation and build a moat.
