[QUOTE="Orius, post: 5362008, member: 8863"] I prefer to be able to read stuff on the [s]cortex[/s] web about Firefly without tripping over Serenity spoilers myself, having tripped over a handful already. ;) Reavers. They showed up in what, like two episodes? Or does "Bushwacked" only count as half an episode here because we only saw Reaver aftermath and a proto-Reaver. I thought they'd be more important, but then this is what happens when you only make 14 episodes and only 11 air. I think that's where some of the lack of consistancy comes in. It seems there were a few long term plot threads being laid down, particularly the whole Simon and River plot, and then the late introduced [spoiler]Inara decides to leave[/spoiler] thread that got unresolved in the series. Maybe the Reavers as well, and possibly some character growth for Jayne. Even the best sci-fi series tend to have forgettable episodes, and I think because the series was short, they tend to stick out a bit. [/QUOTE]
