Hostile 17... that's a good one. I didn't much like that season of Buffy. The whole idea of a secret government organization hiding under a college was kind of silly to me.
I also never liked it much when Buffy and "Hostile 17" became bed bunnies. That's when I started calling her Buffy the Vampire Layer. It also added a whole new meaning to "If you can't beat them, lick them."
Then there is the creep factor. A vampire is basically a walking corps. Hanging with one isn't too far from being a necrophiliac, yuck.(just set myself up for some jokes I think)

He was just too good and too boring, IMO. I think of all the people she was with, Spike was my favorite. Angel was too broody. Spike was FUN on so many levels. Which reminds me, James Marsters was back on Torchwood last night! WooHoo!!

If you have not seen Firefly then you must get it. Watch it then ger Serenity. You will not be sorry. Netflix is your friend...unless you have a Mac.

If you like a western theme I highly reccomend it...even if you don't it's well worth watching (though you might not like it as much)...Just make sure to see the show before the movie, understanding the characters makes the movie so much more powerful...

I really am not fond of the western theme. My father forced me to watch wayyy too much Bonanza and Rifleman. Having said that, I adore Firefly! I don't think the western feel is too overwhelming and there's so much other stuff going on.

Firefly is just so full of so many interesting details like the English/Chinese dialect with a western accent. The story of the reavers, War for Independence, the contrast between the core planets and rim planets.
The show has great dialog with memorable lines like;
"They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be but they forgot. Then they see sky and they remember what they are."
"if someone tries killin' you, you kill 'em right back."
"I'll be in my bunk."
"I am to misbehave."
"If your hand touches metal, I swear by pretty floral bonnet I will end you."
It also gave us words like 'corpsified', 'shiney', 'brown coats', and purple bellies.

The look on his face when he says it is the funny part for me. He was great as Jayne.

i have Always been a fan of Joss.. everything he's ever done is just great. but i think his crowning work has to be Firefly/Serenity, i have the box set of the show and the movie and can quote them i've seen them so many time. hell i even have the Serenity RPG (though my lady didn't think it was a good buy).

I have them to. The other day I watched "Our Mrs. Reynolds" with the Spanish dubbing on. It was funny because I don't speak Spanish.
