Well, I already ache constantly for Firefly episodes unwritten, so there's not too much worry there. Thanks, though, I'll definitey check it out now.

I say go ahead and watch it. It's not like it's not still reruning on TV, so it's not like you have to buy the DVDs right away. Go ahead and try it, you'll like it. I didn't watch it for a long time because I thought it was just some silly stupid teen show, but one day when nothing was on I watched some reruns on FX and was completely hooked after like a half an hour. And of course once you get to the final season our beloved Captain is in it and he's all super evil.

Have to chime in on this one - seeing as I just got the Chosen Collection in the post this morning, it was like all my Xmases came at once!! If it wasn't for Buffy or Angel I would probably never have given Firefly a chance - and even then I was a little sceptical. And yes Buffy seems a little silly at first but it only gets better as it goes along. I feel the show actually improved in the later seasons, but I like my TV dark so what are you gonna do?
Firefly shared many of the same writers and directors, same actors, same special effects people, production design people, I could go on but you have to watch Buffy and Angel for yourself to really understand how great they are. Firefly is definitley the strongest show off the bat, in terms of how well all the elements gelled together from the get-go. But if you want to learn where Joss and co. honed their skills, then watch his first 2 shows. You can see how much experience he and his fellow writers gained on the 9 seasons or so(A +B combined)they had done by the time they got around to Firefly.
I can't imagine anyone who loves Firefly not loving these other Joss shows, you just need to give them the benefit of the doubt and if possible, watch them in the right order, I wish I had done that but better to have jumped in mid season 2 than never to have jumped in at all...
I got a way? Is that better than a plan?

Some of the writing's fairly snappy although seasons four and five were pretty bad.
It's a decent watch if you can ignore some of the awful fashion choices!
The lesbian thing doesn't kick in for a few seasons.

Dark Angel, Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Enterprise, Farscape... anything else you'd like to cancel?
