Everybody do yourself a favour...


...and add the user known as "skay_baltimore" to your ignore list. This person complains incessantly about everything on this show. He/she literally has nothing good to say about the show. Not a single good thing. I then checked out this user's profile and started reading through his/her reviews of others shows. It seems that all this person does is complain, about everything. There is no show in the world that this person has anything good to say about.

It is therefore my belief that this user, (skay_baltimore), is nothing more than a troll.

I can understand not liking a show and voicing your opinions about it, but normal people don't continue to watch and post about a show they don't like day after day after day. A normal person voices their dislike for the show and then leaves/stops watching the show and then that is the end of it. The only type of person who sticks around for a show he/she doesn't like and continues to bash said show is just your garden variety troll.

So please, everyone, do not feed the troll. Add user skay_baltimore to your ignore list.

Hmmmmm...somebody comes onto a message board (i.e. where films/TV shows are discussed, both positively AND...imagine this...negatively)...and creates a thread totally unrelated to the TV show, suggesting that a poster be ignored for posting critical/negative comments, as if s/he knows what's best for everyone else. Now...call me CRAZY...but I think that the OP is either unclear on the concept of a message board, an attention whore, or all of the above.

I've been on this message board about 30 mins now, joined on a whim, and it has to be said, Skay... the few times I have seen your comments, they have been unhelpful.

Yes, this is a message board about a show and yes, negative opinions are just as valid as positives... as long as they are constructive and further the discussion.

You have every right to your opinion, but some context and reasoning would be helpful, so people can make informed decisions based on sensible discussion rather than just spiteful comments which help nobody.

I look forward to reading some insightful comments in the future :)

Actually, having gotten through more of the board, I can see you DO give some reasoning... it's vitriolic and angry, but it is semi-constructive and you have considered your opinion... my bad.

You have such strong convictions and seem very passionate in your dislike of something a lot of people love... I look forward to seeing something you write / direct / create... if you can top Farscape, it's sure to be phenomenal!

Been reading it some too and he does make some valid points here and there, although it feels a bit like he is taking this fiction far too seriously. Can't imagine him enjoying much in entertainment the way he lambasts this show. I'd guess he's just in that mood we all get when we have things like depression and doing the angry part of it. I know I am more short tempered with mine and less open to letting little things slide by getting annoyed by them when I am feeling like that.

It's not like this show doesn't have plenty of things to criticize of course. You just kind of have to let it wash past though. Even my most favorite shows ever have some incredible silly and stupid things going on in certain episodes and story arcs that I find ridiculous, but TV isn't like a movie. Every episode can't be amazing, and it has to be taken as a whole. Sure this show has some awful episodes, especially in season 1 (Rygell pissing fire, Zhaan having orgasms from solar flares LOL, and of course en tire episode story arcs and solutions), but overall it is a fun and good sci-fi show to me that can't be taken too seriously when it goes into these realms.

Take my AIDS, please!
