Maybe a little. Although the article is a bit clunky so his meaning is not as clear as it could have been.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Had [Firefly] appeared on a Monday night it would have disappeared without a trace after only nine or ten excellent, groundbreaking seasons.
I don't get it. The author seems to say that it would have lasted a lot longer [nine or ten seasons] but no one would have cared [disappeared without a trace]? And I think that the word "only" should not preface "nine or ten excellent, groundbreaking seasons".

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Heh. I almost died laughing last night watching Furturama when Bender corrected the RobotDevil on the definition of irony.

Partyman, you'll be at the Lost party too?
Unless anything Evil happens between now and then, yes.

Duh. I should have picked that up within reading the first two sentances.
