But with a team like that, I look forward to hearing more.

Dragonfly!

Seriously, hard not to think SciFi if Zoic is involved - that's sounds very interesting!

yeah I hope it works out. see this thread: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=13163&newsid=0
for a link to the interview that contains this quote:
Chris Buchanan: I’m just starting up a new company, and right now, I’m out pitching television, because it’s that time of year. I’ve got a project with Zoic and Tim Minear that we’re really excited about. We’re taking it out in the next couple weeks, and we’ll see if it sticks!

You could read into that quote/action that he and Minear and Zoic are not committed to *other* things... like a Firefly continuation.

You and I are in the same boat. I watched more of Angel after Firefly got cancelled. I needed my Joss fix! Then I checked out Tim Minear's short lived show, Wonderfalls. Typical, I enjoy the hell out of something,and F*X cancells it as well. ( I suggest the DVD )

Buffy, now that's something different. Don't know why, but maybe it's the whole H.S. thing which is less appealing, or something. I know there are some fantastic episodes and such, but I'm still not ready to jump in and relive that which I know won't be continued. But you put it best... Buffy intrigues me only mildly. Hmmm.

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

I did see the first season of Buffy and after the last episode felt like, "ok, I gave it a try." There were some very good moments but I agree, the HS stuff and SMG made the watching difficult at times.
But on the other hand it's always going to be sitting there tempting me...who are we kidding? I'm going to watch the series at some point just not sure how.

I hope folks dont judge Buffy on S1. It really doesnt take off till 1/2 way thru the 2nd season. Its fun to go back and see how it all started but I wouldnt play a S1 episode to get someone into Buffy.

I started watching Buffy at the begining of S4 on FX (the gang was out of HS at that point) and about 1/2 way thru S5 when I went out and got S2-3 on DVD (they didnt have S1 at bestbuy that day).

That said, Buffy is amazing and worth watching so starting at the begining is the best way to go. However, if you 'need to get hooked right away', start with one of the later seasons.

I really have to tell you,
Buffy is amazing, Joss' greatest work was on Buffy.
Firefly is a more interesting world, but Joss never had the opportunity to completely develop it
(even with the movie)
But Buffy was a fully realized 'verse'
I suggest that if you haven't seen:
'Once More With Feeling' - Season 6 of Buffy
or
'Hush' - Season 4 of Buffy
then you don't know what a brilliant writer Joss Whedon really is....

a lot of people were not interested in Buffy because they saw that movie,
the movie was NOT Joss' work!
They destroyed his script by camping it up and then ad-libbing their way through it
(this was the reason why Joss became such a control freak)

So really...you've got to give Buffy a chance!

(About the Buffy movie) GAHH my nerve!!!
I love that movie, but it makes me angry they butchered it and everybody's all "lalee da"

Anyway, I see Buffy as appealing toward a younger crowd who will gradually grow as the show continue.
I've been watching that show since HS so once Angel came on, I was perfect for that age target.

Plus personally in Buffy I see that as "Monster-go kill" while in Angel it's "Is the Monster evil? B/c if so, I must kill it"

Buffy has a place in my heart, but I like Angel more...only b/c of it's capibility to show that not everything is what it seems...plus due to personal reasons, Buffy's personality kind of erks me sometimes.

Me thinks you nailed it. Well said, well put.

Some of the Illyria story was sped up when the show go cancelled, so you can sort of see the seeds of where they would have gone with her. Illyria was going to start using the Fred persona more often to 'get by'. And 'faking' that personality was going to change Illyria, sort of from the inside. Like when Illyria was obviously upset over Wesley's death. So in season 6 it would have been like that, but slower, and with Illyria-as-Fred interacting with Wes more.

Thank-you for the answers you posted.

Where do I read more about a what-might-have-been season 6?

The more days I get away from seeing the last episode of Angel... the closer I get to watching Buffy.

You really shouldn't judge "Buffy" by the first season. It is by far the weakest one, and they hadn't really found the "formula" yet. The show took a turn in the second half of S2 and got darker, edgier, and most importantly; a lot better after that.
