I was not mocking you but the very idea that Empire should even be mentioned at all with crap like the Matrix and decent but not super great serenity.
The Whedon fans are just very i don't know the word, maybe over-rating his skills, sort of like those JJ Abrams New School Trek people.
Firefly on the other hand is a good western in space, must like the original star trek and should not have been canceled.
Whedon is talented. Still does not make me go out and support this crazy 3-D and HD-Cam craze Hollywood is on while abandoning actual film.
For instance i am totally against Peter Jackson shooting the Hobbit on Video and in 3D, instead of in super35 like the trilogy, but hey i will watch it on film if film still exists when it comes out if not i won't go to see it in theaters.
