What I love about it is the characters. Between the incredibly sharp writing and perfect casting, each of the nine main characters is three dimensional in ways not generally seen in sci-fi television. The ways in which they interact with each other is really what drives the show.
'Twas what I was going to say. It's all about falling in love with the characters and their little relationships with each other. A good episode of Firefly (i.e. pretty much all of them) is one where just about every sentence a character says just makes you laugh and/or love that character even more.



Seriously, how is that not the most glorious thing a TV character has ever said?
