I'm sorry if rocks come my way too, but I have to agree with Battlewars. I've never liked anything Joss Whedon has done. I know he wrote/contributed to a few episodes of Roseanne, which is a show I really enjoyed, but I hate Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. I have lots of friends who love these shows. I've watched them at times with them. I'm one of the countless people who've been generously loaned a boxset of Firefly to kindle the flame of fandom...kappooee!! (I watched the WHOLE thing, bored to tears at times.)
These ensembles he creates for his shows! They all just happen to be thrown together in this crazy life? Riiiiiiiight. I know, I know - lots of shows/movies have ensembles, but there's something different about these...it just seems cookie cuttery to me.
And the characters seem too GOOD (Firefly). I know they're not written exactly go-od, but I don't believe them. They are good.
AND -- I HATE it when people compare Mal to Han Solo! ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I much prefer the new Battlestar Galactica. But I am only a mild fan of it at this point.
