    Because bad voice actors make a show bad! A good part of character is voice acting, and a good part of a show is character, therefore, it'll make the show even worse.

    Im all for more Firefly people being in TFP. It would just make it even more awesome than it already is. Plus the actors already have a chemistry built with each other, so that will do wonders for the show.

    Alot of people do lots of stuff. Doesn't mean they don't suck. His Breakdown voice is just damned boring, no emotion other than BAD GUY CHUCKLE

    How about we don't have Springer in Transformers Prime at all? Prime is perfectly capable of making their own characters. See Knockout, Breakdown, and Airacnid.

    I wouldn't mind him as a decepticon pirate, maybe a rogue/individual eradicon?

    I'd like it if there was interaction between Breakdown, Knockout, Airachnid (if she survives arcee's wrath) and him

    They need to flesh out his character a bit. I just hope in the near future,we get Breakdown solo since his partner steals the scenes he's with.

    These guys are professional actors. You know almost all the Firefly actors have been casted in DCAU.



    You better not insult Fillion or even Summer Glau. If you insullt Summer Glau, watch your back.

    That's often what I'd tell people who hadn't seen Firefly, that it was kind of like if Star wars had been about Solo's adventures instead of Luke's story.

    Well that's your openion. But nobody is going to agree with you.

    Of course nobody will. Everybody in this forum seems to have a "no negative opinionz" policy.

    It has nothing to do with these forums. I'm sure you'll find it difficult to find forums that agree with an anit-Fillion opinion anywhere. He's a fairly well liked actor.

    And as for the overall "no negative opinions" policy of the forums... I would say that is probably somewhat accurate. Mostly because this show is objectively a fairly promising show. And when I say objectively, i mean relative to most transformers show, it's hard to argue the dialogue is very well done, the animation is nice etc. The show does have it's issues, but the majority of "negative opinions" are a little premature, and highly comparable to "trukk not munky" arguments that are based on not giving the show enough of a chance.

    Is he? I don't realy know who Nathan is, I pretty much said this to see if the GRRR NEGATIVE crowd would attack and there they are, good to see they didn't disappoint.

    And I don't know man, 11 episodes looks like a pretty good time to form an opinion on what is good and what is not, and I think that everybody should be encouraged to be as loud as possible about waht they dislike in Prime, because we KNOW the writers are reading forums like ours to see opinions and it's not by attack any nay-sayer possibly that we'll help 'em craft the next season.

    Nathan Fillion is the main actor in Firefly, a brilliant sci-fi TV show that I have yet to find someone who didn't like. The show is a lot of fun and I strongly encourage you to watch it.

    And I wouldn't exactly call it 11 episodes. For all intents and purposes, the first 5 were essentially one episode. So we've only had 6 episodes since then. Also, you have to remember that there are 24 episodes in the season. Because of this, it is going to be really hard to figure out what the writer's "grand vision" is, since we haven't even gone half way through. For all we know if we were to say nothing at all, we could be blown completely away by the time the season is done. Since this show IS showing promise, I say we have fun with speculation, but leave our complaints to the end of the season. Once it's over, if they didn't realize the full potential of the show, then we complain for a better season 2.

    P.S. So you are essentially trolling?

    But the season kind of ends.... late july at the earliest.

    And they already started production on Season 2, what if ends up being too late for a good chunk of it?

    Even if our complaints might end up being solved by the end of it we can't be sure, and we WIN more by.... whining than by staying silent.

    You threw rocks at a lot beehives as a kid, didn't you?

    Actually, whenever I hear people who work in the entertainment industry talk about reading internet feedback, they always tend to say they ignore or laugh off the more openly negative comments.
    If they are looking for criticism, it's usually the intelligent criticism. Which I know, on the internet is usually few and far between. But still, that's what they look for.

    1. I doubt we really have much of a say to TV writers.
    You think that Marty Isenberg listened to us when it came to writing episodes of Animated. Nope. He decided what works and doesn't with his own writing team. Same applies here as well.

    2. Please do some research before you do any argument or instigate folks here like finding out who Fillion is and what he has done and see why many praise him.
