So, what's the verdict on Firefly?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It didn't rock like a rocking thing, but it didn't suck like a sucking thing either. The Buffistas who were over my house had no trouble sitting through a second viewing immediately after the first (Ed finally arrived a half-hour after we'd started watching, and we'd delayed a good 20 minutes before starting, so when it finished we went back to show him the scenes he'd missed, and just watched it all the way through again, without fidgeting).
There seems to be agreement that while this premiere episode wasn't anything special, it looks good in comparison to any of the Star Trek pilots or B5.
It was also much more "Western" -- including a train heist -- than most people including me expected.

If I only had a brain...
Fi, I was disappointed. Low on the snark, high on the faux-Western dialogue. Hoping for better things.
But an amazing kickass black female second lead.

Always Anti-fascist!
Well, sounds like I didn't miss much. Better luck next week.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I would just like to reiterate that I loved it.
That is the whiny teenage lizard vote.

You call that a whine? That's not a whine! You young people nowadays.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Betsy is me.
Though, I'm thinking we've been wandering into the wrong thread, because I'm almost certain that was in regards to Firefly.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll look forward to it cautiously.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fiona, I don't think you need to be cautious, per se. I don't think anyone loved it, but many people enjoyed it, a couple hated it, and some were disappointed.
So I think it's a very YJossverseMV experience.
