She was asking questions like "Who is (character)?" Why is that person important? What is the Alliance? On and on like that... And I knew right then that this was going to be the biggest problem with this film in getting gross sales figures up.

Some choice quotes:
"A comment by my husband applies here: We signed up for a friend’s weeklong biofeedback program. We left after two days. My husband told the director: “How do you tell someone their baby is ugly?”" [why does this have to do with Serenity?]

[Dopey? I looked up the definition... one applies, but the commonly held one does not.

Catatonic? um... no.]

"Fillion, an obvious alterego for Wheldon, is given all the sexy close-ups."

[So... Mal = Whedon? Hardly.]

...Anyone who's ever heard of Joss is going to give no credence to a reviewer who can't get the screenwriter/author's name right...

She might have this one nailed, it's usually a device writers use - whether consciously or subconsciously...
