[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 1067062, member: 259"] Early on, I didn't like the showmuch at all: I thought the "gol-darnit" dialect was extremely cheesy, and the plots were hokey and contrived. Buta s the showed continued, it just got better and better and better. Like all Joss Whedon shows, this one playd with cliches, deliberately tweaking them. Someone already mentioned my favorite scene: when a prisoner says, "You may have me now, but my boss will never forgive you, and I'll hunt you to the ends of the galaxy, and the last thing you'll see is the tip of my knife going through your eye," the captain frowns, says, "Darn!" and kicks the guy into the ship's engine. Beautiful! Another episode shows the captain, having efected a heroic escape, fighting to the death with a bad guy, perched over a chasm. His friends have killed everyone else (in the best action sequence I've seen in a TV show), and when they come across their captain, one turns to the other and says, "Let them be at it. The captain needs to finish this himself." The captain squawks, through the hands clenched around his throat, "NO! Shoot him! Shoot him!" and his crew, startled out of their cliche, hastily do so. The show has terrifying moments in it. Any of you fans, if I put on latex gloves and hold up a pen that emits blue light, tell me you're not going to wet your pants. And then there was Kaylee, who was an incredible hottie. Mmmm, I miss me some Keylee.... The show definitely grew on me, and by the end, I was furious that Fox canceled it. Daniel [/QUOTE]
