I watched Serenity first, and it felt like it came out of nowhere so I bought the TV boxset (big jump, buying a boxset of a tv show I'd never heard of) and fell head over heels for the show.
The shows cancellation is one of the biggest tragedies of television. And Dollhouse is kinda meh right now, I guess because Fox is trying to take the Whedon quality from it, trying to make it the next 24... with sci-fi.
And Buffy was kind of awesome. The themes that that show dealt with are mind bogglingly dense. Whedon took a ****ty premise and made it into something people could philosophize about.
And then Season 6 came along and I felt like barfing all over everyone involved with the show.
Whedon kinda pisses me off nowadays. A genius for character... but the decisions he makes... my god.
