It’s no secret that I’m a huge Buffy<\/i> and Angel<\/i><\/a> fan. That said, I don’t really fall into that category of fan who thinks that Joss Whedon<\/a> is the smartest and most talented man in the world. Yea, I love Buffy<\/i> and Angel<\/i> and I am one of the few people who don’t hate Alien: Resurrection<\/i>, but whatever.<\/p>\n

That said, I decided to pretend being a Whedon obsessee by purchasing his short-lived televsion show Firefly<\/i><\/a> the other week.<\/p>\n

It took me a while to get into the series — and I’m still about six or so episodes from finishing it — but now that I’ve had time to really get to know the characters and whatnot, I gotta say that it’s pretty damn good.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the back-to-back (but unrelated) episodes “Out of Gas”<\/a> and “Ariel”<\/a> are some of the finest ever.<\/p>\n

I loved how “Out of Gas” showed how Mal met all of the crew members… it’s always nice to see backstory, so I was a fan of seeing how people ended up on Serenity. I also loved the three narrative threads: one showing past (meeting the crew), one showing present (how the ship became damaged and why people left), and future (Mal attempting to fix Sereneity). It was both suspenseful and informational.<\/p>\n

As for “Ariel,” I can’t really say why I loved it without giving much away — and I don’t want to give anything away. That said, let me just say that the ending (the last three minutes) really disappointed me. Oh well. I’m curious to see how the events of “Ariel” change things going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
