Even though the person is a fan of Whedon's current material (who isn't?) it's still a good review. No spoilers either.

Just over 24 hours until the show airs! Reading an article like that makes me even more excited.

Move 'em on, head 'em out!

Quote:
Friday's premiere throws you into the middle of the story and then efficiently explains what is going on around you. Many Western conventions are given their humorous due, from a bar fight to a train robbery — but each time you think you know where the conventions are headed, Whedon tosses in a clever twist to tweak your expectations.

That kind of tweaking is, of course, familiar to any Buffy fan. Should be very interesting to see a more mainstream audience respond to it.

Our local newspaper TV-critic didn't like Firefly, but then he usually seems to give bad marks to SF-series. Oh, well.
