Message: <blockquote data-quote="MaxKaladin" data-source="post: 2460614" data-attributes="member: 1196">I don't think I'm tainted by fan attitude unless there is residual from Buffy and Angel -- two shows I never really cared for with really... enthusiastic... fan bases.  I watched the first couple episodes of Firefly when it first aired and developed no real love or hate for it.  I liked it enough that I'd watch it when I knew it was coming on (unlike Buffy or Angel) but I didn't think it was great the way something like Babylon 5 was great.  I didn't see that many episodes because it kept getting shifted around and I couldn't keep up with it -- and the show didn't really inspire me to make much effort to do so.  I've started watching this time around because I keep hearing how great the episodes are if seen in order and I want to see for myself.  Having just seen the pilot, it's probably too early to tell.  Things make more sense now than they did originally, but my attitude hasn't really changed yet.  I suppose I'll watch the whole run and see how things go.  My problem so far hasn't been with the technology, it's been the characters.  None of them has really struck me as likeable except the girl who got shot.  The priest and the woman who appears to be the captain's first officer are starting to grow on me but I don't really care for any of the others.  I particularly dislike Jayne (despite his obvious appreciation for being properly armed) and River (who reminds me too much of "Buffy" and I never liked that show).  I suspect I'd like the show more if I liked the characters more.</blockquote>
