[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8291327, member: 5889"] I do agree with the fundamental premise that a non-completed show can't really make the hall of fame. Too many shows fail to stick the landing, so much that its basically become a trope on its own. Though Firefly remains one of best seasons I television imo, I do agree that without seeing how it ends it only be a maybe, and maybe is not strong enough for the hall of fame. Now a few notes on other points named. [LIST] [*]The Inara/Reaver controversy: I'm sorry, but if you saw all the dropped plotlines that writers come up with for a show it would make your head spin.
