Ok, this just has all the sucky things of xkcd sucks.

1. Not acknowledging that the comic was quite funny, and especially had a cool concept.

2. Complaining about that we have seen a similar theme a lot in xkcd. Yes, we have, and so? Doesn't mean that theme can't be interesting anymore. Or more to the point: "I have seen this critique on your blog before. Lame!"

3. Complaining about the alt text. The alt text doesn't have to be funny, it's just a bonus if it is. Your blog itself suggested at one time, that he could use it to explain things. Which is what he does here.

4. Criticizing Firefly references, just because they exist. Actually, here, he makes an interesting point about it, and something that certainly is an uncomfortable truth for us who adore the internal consistency of that series. But you wouldn't know, because you still haven't seen it! All the time you've spent complaining about Randall mentioning Firefly, you could have instead watched at least the pilot of this awesome series. Jesus.
