Nicolette - you have expressed the thoughts and feelings I have had for this show (and all things Whedon) very eloquently. Buffy was so much more than it's name. My love started when my daughter, who was ten year at the time, was watching the second season. I glanced as I went by. The next week as I was walking by I sat down. The third week I was yelling for her to, 'Hurry up! Buffy's on.' The show entertained me, enlightened me, and touched my soul. For those of you who loved Buffy, try the Firefly CDs. The humor, sadness, and superior writing are again evident in the Firefly characters. The movie Serenity will be in theaters on September 30. I encourage you to watch the trailer. As with Buffy, don't let the obvious fool you into thinking this is just a spaceship movie. Instead, let the writing capture your soul and then hang on for one heck of a ride! Can't stop the signal. www.serenitymovie.com/

Great thoughts, Nicolette. I got hooked on Buffy circa Season Two (just about the best Joss season ever... Firefly is very close, truncated and all) and never looked back. I slowly sold the show on my wife, who still likes to tease me at times for being smitten with SM Gellar. Now she watches it on FX more than I do! In the end it's a show about great characters, with great writing, great direction, and usually with something interesting to look at. That's what makes great television. So in a weird way, as you've alluded to, all of the sci-fi and horror elements are peripheral. I like what you've said about Girl Power as well, and I realized Joss is still exploring that theme through the character of River in Firefly and now Serenity.
