I don't think it's spoily to say that thus far Buffy is on S3 form.
Damn skippy. There is fear that this is Going Out With A Bang.
Gimme some milk.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
I'm about to dive into NAFDA. Angel looks good, Firefly......we'll see.

Firefly started really slow. We started getting the burst of "My God, I LOVE this show!" in late October. I was completely indifferent for the first two or three episodes.

I agree with Betsy. The first couple of episodes left me cold, then, all of a sudden I fell in love.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Early adopter chiming in here. Which, of course, means I'm so hopelessly in love now that I'm scaring myself.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'll third that opinion (that it started slow), though the only episode I didn't really like was the first one, "The Train Job."

I love love loved it from the beginning, but it must be admitted that a lot of that was resting on Kaylee's face. Now I love love love it for lots of different reasons.
Kaylee's face among them.

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
I didn't love the first one, but by the second I was getting hooked.

Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?
I was wary of the Firefly, because I'm NSM into westerny things. Didn't love ep 1, was interested by 2, in love by 3. I just watched ep 8, and I can't believe how quickly I've become attached to the characters and their universe. I've even adapted my New Buffy dance to express my bouncy delight.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The first episode is the weakest (and I enjoyed it), but after that it began to rock hard.
