Absolutely unbelievable incompetence.

MALICIOUS

Did you notice in the description that Inara "...serves as a paid companion to Serenity's guests..." ??

I wonder what she'd have to say about that!

Mal-licious

I'm going to add cursing and the hurling about of things to my repertoire.

Ehh...eejits.

And guests eh? Would that include River?

"Two by two, hands of blue."

"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"
"I swallowed a bug."

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

No, no, it says she services THE Serenity's guests!

FOX. Because we care.

Good grief, did you read some of these?

A few choice examples:

Out of Gas: Simon reacts with surprise when ZOE brings in a birthday cake.

Objects in Space: River lowers the gun and SIMON takes it away from her.

Safe: The picture used is from OiS

And of course our ship is referred to cosistantly as THE Serenity. In the words of Guy from Galaxy Quest "Did you guys ever WATCH the show?"

Don't know that it takes "gall" to be clueless, but I see little evidence they ever watched the show.

500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war (small universe)

Inara has her own shuttle docked on the ship (I thought she rented one of Mal's shuttles)

Serving as a paid companion to Serenity's guests (wonder how Atherton feels about being characterized as Mal's guest?)

The wealthy and secretive Simon, (whose accounts were crashed by the alliance and has no money)

Mal overpowers the soldier, then releases more gas into the train, allowing he and Zoe to blend in with the other passenger (isn't even correct English)

Jayne, whose arms was injured during the heist (more bad English and he was shot in the leg.)

Simon injects Jayne with a powerful pain killer, to help ease the pain from the arm injury (at least they're consistenly wrong)

The sheriff . . . tells Mal and Zoe they'll be subject to a retinal scan (musta missed that whole part)

The whole thing is a joke.

Well... did anyone think that maybe the guy who put that up for Fox didn't work and play well with Joss... and did all that on PURPOSE? They are arch-enemies now... wouldn't surprise me. We could always email them the corrections:)

Under Extra's it says "Serenity: The Tenth Chaper"

Dumbass Mo Fo's!

I called an 800 number on the Fox Store site this morning to complain. The woman I spoke to wasn't sure the webpage was theirs but suggested that I email my complaints with a link to the page in question to: foxdrop@4icc.com.

I (very politely) told them what I thought of their factual inaccuracies and lack of familiarity with the English language and sent it off several hours ago.

Haven't heard back yet, but it didn't bounce back as undeliverable, so it went somewhere. I'll keep you posted.
