>>> "When I mention EW, it means Owen Gleiberman or Lisa Schwartzbaum..." <<<

Both of whom were established EW critics even back then, and both of whom are to a greater or lesser degree responsible for our decision to allow the EW subscription to lapse.

>>> "The EW TV critics enjoyed Firefly *inter alia*, so I don't know why you say they're genre-biased." <<<

One kindness out of respect to quality entertainment doesn't make up for the impression left by a plethora of misguided reviews of other genre books, television and films that we've enjoyed over the years in spite of EW's critics mistaken opinions.

Still, that doesn't mean we won't give EW another chance at some point in the future. Who knows, EW's literary critics might even like my wife's best-selling fantasy books (Weather Warden series, by Rachel Caine) and then we'd be forced to reconsider the NOW distinguished magazine's position on genre fiction. (grin)

Don't worry, I'm not blaming you for that cancelled subscription! ;^)
