@ Ori: Yeah, I said I concede that Buffy set the standard, but as you say SN followed its own course. To call it a Buffy knockoff is like trying to say every sci-fi show set in space ripped off Star Trek. Which is true to an extent, but series like Dark Matter, BSG, Stargate etc could not accused of being copies of Trek. Someone has to start it, take the risks, break the new ground, and nobody is denying that Whedon was that somebody. Doesn't mean his fanboys can claim every show that ever came after his are just knockoffs, just as Roddenberry can't claim to have invented TV sci-fi...
