This Friday Fox series was eagerly anticipated, as it came from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon. More mystifying and unintentionally comic than cosmic, it has turned into a sci-fi dud. It ranks in the Nielsen 90s and, worse, often trails the show that follows it, "John Doe," by a couple million viewers. That means Fox viewers are skipping the 8 p. m. hour and then watching at 9 p.m. -- the biggest vote of no confidence there is. Plus, "Firefly" is expensive and Fox has already shelved the two-hour pilot, which was murky and boring. That's called a money loser, and there's no room for those on any network. Bye.

This guy is a joker and has had it in for Firefly since day one. He wrote the only bad review of "The Train Job" that I found online back around Sept 20th when the show premiered.
