you could say that about any series really & buffy is a mix of River & Mal,River in more ways.
You always have the person with a hidden past,troubled past,joker,tough guy,happy & bubbly,the doctor its part of the laws of shows especially sci-fi ones

Our universe is cool but Joss's verse is cooler.

How the hell did you manage to dig this thread out of the archives? When I first joined up I spent hours going through as many threads as possible, some of them being pure gold, but now when I try to go into the general discussion archives there is an error message. No problems with any other archives just GD.
As to the original post everything is derivative of something. It is nearly impossible to invent a new type of story. The best writers can do is repackage what has worked with a few twists. Nothing wrong with that. Bottom line, if someone likes a story they will defend it, if not they will call it a ripoff, contrived, or unoriginal.

Yep. Seems none of them visit here anymore and haven't in at least 18 months, more in some cases.

I really hope you don't mind, guys.
I feel that Firefly is like:
Mal\Angel: The big fluffy puppy with bad teeth.
Inara\Cordillia: Great Eye-candy for all the guys.
Wash\Lorne: Happy go lucky, wise kicking ass.
Simon\Westly: The know it all. The guy who knows everything about everything in his field.
Kaylee\Fred: The know it all about engineering. Cheerful, happy, 'not very in your face'.
That's about all I could conjure up. :) Unless Buffy Characters are included:
Zoe\Buffy: The action girl. Always lookin' to kick someones ass.
Jayne\Spike: The Warrior. Loves to kick peoples ass, and be crude about it.
River\Drusilla: The loony- always dancing about, even if it's banging your head to Transilvainian Concubine on a deckplate. 
"Machines just got workin's and they talk to me, is all."

I agree. When push comes to shove, you can make similarities with almost anything.
For example, on ‘Gilligan’s Island’:
Gilligan - Jayne
Jonas Grumby (The Skipper) -Mal
Roy Hinkley (Professor) – Simon
Thurston J. Howell III (Mr. Howell) - Wash
Eunice "Lovey" Wentworth Howell (Mrs. Howell) - Zoë
Ginger Grant (Ginger) - River
Mary Ann Summers (Mary Ann) – Kaylee
And on ‘Cheers’:
"Woody" Boyd – Jayne
Frasier Crane – Simon
Ernie "Coach" Pantusso - Book
Sam Malone – Mal/Jayne
Rebecca Howe - Inara
Cliff Clavin - Wash
Carla Tortelli - River
(I’m drawing at Straws here)
The Possibilities are endless.
