I never understood the fascination with Joss Whedon. Yes, I watched Firefly and yes, it was ok, but the way the internet nerds carry on, it's like he's the second coming of Christ or something. Dr. Horrible has been his best work so far.

Personally, I hate the epic space opera and drama that is a part of most Scifi tv shows.

For Firefly, I think the opening song summarizes wonderfully: it's about the freedom of having your own ship, and being your own man. That is a dream I've had since I was a little kid, and the show speaks to me on such a deep emotional level that I don't think I'll love any other show as much as Firefly.

Can I double upvote this? I'm perpetually amazed and dismayed that TV can support 96 variations of CSI and other assorted generic cop dramas, hours of banal "reality" shows every day, and loads of other worthless dreck but Firefly couldn't even be given a complete single season to develop a viewing fanbase that had the potential to be much better than a tiny niche product.

I love spic space opera but I agree with everything else you've said.

I was a big fan of Buffy, and got really pissed when Joss let that show go to crap while working on Firefly. So much so, that when Firefly came out, I didn't really pay much attention. I mean, cowboys in space? Come on.

Then about a year later, after it had been canceled and everything, I happened upon it again. Sci-Fi channel reruns or something. It suddenly hit me in the face what an incredibly awesome show it was.

I think something similar happened to a lot of current Firefly fans. That's why it got canceled prematurely, and why it still has such a following. It's a show that really stands up to repeated viewings, possibly even improving with multiple viewings. That's my definition of quality, and there are precious few shows like that.
