Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers  

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That's not a commitment! That's a Tim Minear aired run!

It's NOT funny 'cause it's true!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

It's NOT funny 'cause it's true!

I barked with laughter, I ain't gonna lie.

Oh, I did too. Then I got sad.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

which one would you say?

Can Firefly match Buffy Season 2?

Well, I personally prefer season 3 of Buffy to 2, but only by a hair margin. Season 2's stand-alones were much much worse.

Season 2 had the better finale though, much as I loved the mayor.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

you are probably right about that. The finale for 2 (for me) looms above all else.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

As much as I loved season three, I think 'Becoming I & II', 'Passion' and the s2 finale are some of the best things that have ever been on TV. 'Out of Gas' and a couple of other Firefly episodes were very good, but not quite that good.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I was going to post that very thing, Rayne. i liked Dollhouse, but Buffy will always be number one.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I think what you saw aired real-time, first time, has a lot to do with its impact on you. There's something about discovering a show, devouring the weekly installment and waiting eagerly or anxiously, or both, for the next installment that has those episodes make a sharper impression. Having a place like this to discuss, and abilities to rewatch right away to deepen the impression, possibly adjust it with the additional perspective of other people's opinions, makes a big difference in how one feels and what one remembers about certain episodes and seasons of a show, as well. IMO, anyway.
