Don't you guys go thinkin' I'm being negative. All hail Joss and anyone directly or indirectly related to anything that has made it's way out of his brain (and those that have yet to). No what Joss ruined for me is regular tv.
When I started acting in High school I found that the more I learned the more critical I was and the less I 'put up with'. I found myself sighing with um..bored irritation? I just couldn't appreciate something not quality.
Well, Joss & Gang (I say gang meaning aforementioned) have ruined the lesser quality for me. I don't know about you guys, but I find that I can't really watch Star Trek anymore. I just feel like everyone's got too much money or they're all actin' too proper...I just have too many critisims. But I guess since Joss got it right, I can't really watch it wrong now, can I? Just my thoughts.

Gypsylife,
I feel exactly the same way! I used to be such a fan of Star Trek and BSG and Stargate, and although I would still rather watch all of the above rather than network tv ( the exception being "Lost") I find I don't want to. I hunt the dial for Joss stuff, or I turn it OFF. I never used to do that, but I just can't seem to tolerate things that are too starchy. I love the 'verse and I'm ruined for watching much else.
I also never would have considered watching "Buffy" or "Angel" before.... now I wake up early to catch them both... 6:00 a.m. early!
Or I copy them and that's all I watch besides "Firefly".
Yep, I'm addicted.

Trek is still great, especially DS9. Although what was most special about Trek, except Voyager and Enterprise, was that it was ahead of its time. When you watch Trek you have to look at it in context, the original Trek may seem very sexist and prejudiced today but it was made during a time of extreme prejudice and segregation.

Joe Straczynski ruined lesser Sci-Fi for me. Joss just reinforced that feeling. Unfortunately it seems the general public prefers the low quality crappola that has been produced within the Star Trek franchise and Star Wars.

well just think of Star Trek as the alliance and you'll be fine.

Well fortunately for me, I didn't even like sci-fi, or most TV, to begin with, so there was nothing to ruin. :D

Firefly is of course the best sci fi (or any other type of TV for that matter) ever but Star Trek in particular Next Gen will always have a special place in my heart, since for me it was the originator, the catalyst that started the fire of love for sci fi.

I hope Farscape isn't a bad word around here :)
It's what got me to watch sci-fi, and to give Firefly/Serenity a chance.

I kind of look at the StarTrek shows as the "alliance" side of the 'verse, and Firefly as "everyone else." Different sides of the same coin, as it were....

The Dominion from DS9 is probably more like the Alliance.
