But I was sort of feeling the same thing in the beginning, guys! For one, they started with the Train Job (and Joey Buchanan--
!!)!!! Not being into westerns or sci-fi, I was more or less looking for the "Jossness" of it. It took me awhile to get there, but I got there.
yeh but you... rule.
anyhow, it aint the dislike that matters (each to their own in this wide and shiny 'verse - see below)
it's the lack of SILENCE.
these whedonwatchers were the FIRST to comment and negatively about the 5 year anniversary!
if i don't like something - i just go - away - very - quietly.

.... Probably the wrong board to bring this up on... but... well, I gave Buffy a chance, multipule times, and each and every time I found it funny and campish, and something that I would end up forggeting the next day... Buffy just doesn't do it for me folks, Angel and Firefly is where its at IMHO

hello?
I don't understand people who like one and not the other. prefering one, yeah, but to be so far apart that you love one enough to talk about it on t'interweb, and dislike like other so much that you... don't. that's weird...

I agree. Buffy is a very well written show. I'm with you, I'll eat my hat too.
"it's always complicated and at some point someone has to draw the line and that is always going to be me. you get down on me for cutting myself off but in the end the slayer is always cut off. there's no mystical guide book, no all knowing council, human rules don't apply. there's only me....i am the law" -Buffy the Vampire Slayer

what seasons have you tried before?
the first isn't that amazing, especially compared to the polish of firefly.

After firefly I felt I had to check out other Joss-written shows, and so set out to explore the Bufffyverse, watching it with my little sister.
We only got as far as buffy series 5, then we were both fairly happy to give it up.
The characteristic Joss wit is there in the writing (though not always as polished as firefly), so the episodes were never a drag, but I guess I was generally unmoved (and even annoyed on occasion) by the themes. Part of this is that vampires and the supernatural doesn't do anything for me. But also I thought that in its themes and characterisation BTVS, while better than the average show, was inconsistent and fell short of firefly depth and maturity.
To fellow browncoats, unless you are especially interested in the world of vampires or the idea of a lone, kick-ass female heroine (whom you will be called upon to feel sorry for a lot), I wouldn't recommend the show as must see.
Heads should roll
