Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

When you generalize, you make a general out of i and ze.
It's even funnier in Hebrew: "ze" is "this", so I read it as "When you generalize, you make a general out of I and This".

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Such a pleasure to read something so well-written and conversant with the subject. Usually there's some choice necessary between the two. Thank you, David.

Thank you, both!

Sometimes its difficult to write these shorter pieces when you're so intimate with the subject. But I was able to zero in on that element of Joss' work which is the crux between his technique ("character is revealed by our choices") and narrative themes.
It actually helped me to clarify some of my thoughts about his worldbuilding (Firefly and Dollhouse both derive tremendous narrative potential by the sheer moral fuckedupness of those worlds), his definition of the soul in his vamplore (an inclination to do good) and how much writing respect he invests in morally grey characters and scenes.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Very nice, indeed. I particularly like how you handle the criticism of Dollhouse: appreciating supposedly conflicting viewpoints without denigrating either.
