but it also reminds me how unjust Fox was to Firefly, which totally deserved the same levels of adulation --in my mind anyway, shut it! :)
No, no, I'm with you on that! 100% percent! It deserved far more than it ever got from anyone - (except the fans who adore it and the cast who seemed geniunely heartbroken to lose it). I often wonder though, if Joss had been allowed to continue on with Firefly, if we would still hold it in such high regard. Like if he had two seasons for it, it may still be as fantastic of a show as we got. But if they had gone for five or six seasons...would it have maintained itself or would he have inevitably fucked it up?
Still, it deserved more than 13 episodes that they didn't even air all of them and when they did they aired them out of order and bumped it around from night to night and...erghughgrumble.

Yep.
