BTVS the sort of show were you have to watch about 5 seasons. The show grows on you after you learn about all the characters and their developments.

Umm, try re-reading your post and count up how many spoilers you gave away that aren't tagged...

She didn't give away any spoilers. I would think it's common knowledge that Faith joins the show in season three. It's not going to affect my appreciation of the show to find out when a character is going to join.

She kind of reminds me of Jayne (I know this sounds crazy, just let me finish) in that she isn't just a one-dimensional character. You can see that there is a lot more to her than what she lets people see.
That's not crazy at all. Joss has even said that Jayne is the Cordelia of Firefly. Mostly referring to the lack of a filter between the brain and mouth, but they definitely have a lot more in common like you say.

And so my journey continues...
I keep seeing more parallels between Buffy and Firefly (which I suppose only makes sense).
Giles is kind of like the Book of Buffy. He seems infallible, but during the course of the show, you find that he has flaws like anyone else (which I suppose we would have found out about Book). Of course, Giles is way less scary than Book seemed.
Creepifying and perverted though it may seem, Spike and Drusilla are a lot like Simon and River. Spike had the perfect chance to finally kill Buffy (Lie To Me), but he sacrificed it to save Drusilla. Spike would do anything to protect Drusilla, much like Simon would for River. Once again, Joss prevails in showing characters with depth.
Buffy continues to impress. My mother actually likes this better than Firefly (she's watched every episode with me so far). Can't say I agree with her 
, but I'm really enjoying the series so far.

I watched all of season 1, intitialy I had a really time getting into it. The main two reasons I kept hooked where A)the family like cahracter dynamics of Buffy and friends and B)how quirky in a cute way Willow is. The bad guy aspect to me was kinda lame, but I hear the bad guys get much more interesting as it goes. Luckily the heroes are interesting enough to make me want to see season 2...

Get through S5 and see if you still feel that way.
I think every character in Firefly has a Buffyverse equivalent, but for some of them, you have to look to the cast of Angel (which you haven't gotten to yet, I'm guessing).

I never really thought of it that way, but that is true. Sure, Giles is less scary but he has a past he's tried to reform from as well.
