Firefly
anybody here a fan? I can't imagine how it could be canceled (Yeh, I know it's been 6 years and all...), I still don't know who Shepherd Book really is, Mal and anara still haven't hooked up, and I know Whedon had a hella of a lot more plot twists left than what he put in the movie.

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.

I love Firefly too, but we don't really get a chance to see how deep into the characters it could have become, due to its cancellation. I'm really glad they made Serenity, though. Even though the show got canceled, at least we got that. Don't know how I feel about Dollhouse yet. I think it's still too early to judge, since there's only been the one episode.
