Yep - it's that first heady stage of infatuation. It got to the stage where I'm even looking at stuff that initially annoyed me, like the anachronistic westernisms and ultra-dry delivery by NF, with incredible affection. And the actors! Such an immensely appealing bunch.

As for the other Jossverse shows - I gotta say I'm loving this season of Buffy to bits, long term relationship or not. I've got a lot more character-arc/thematic issues with Angel these days. The individual episodes of Angel have been pretty decent. It's just that I'm just not that interested about what's gonna happen on the show on a long run anymore, which saddens me. Still, I'm hoping to be brought back to the fold after the hiatus is over.

Vonnie speaks for me. I honestly think I'd be enjoying this season of Buffy as much as the third if six years' worth of new hadn't already rubbed off—it's got me on the edge of my seat, eager to find out what's coming next. Angel I'm mainly watching out of loyalty to DB and Mike Massa, and the fun of discussing with folks here, rather than enjoyment of the show itself.

Firefly is all shiny and new and a joy to watch, but not quite so much as the first season of either previous ME show, I think.

well...I knew I wouldn't last unspoiled for Firefly. wheeeee! bring on the spoilers. bring on tonight's episode!!!!

Did y'all see the thing in AICN? It was linked from the official board. Says a major character dies tonight.

Oh dear!

Here.

I hope it's not Wash! Oh hell, the only one I won't be sad about it Inara.

If a regular character dies, are they going to have to make changes in the episodes we haven't seen yet? Is there a character that's not in the pilot episode we're going to see? What episode number was tonight's ep supposed to be?

Well, they *did* kill Gunn in one episode of Angel, right? Maybe it's something like that.

Ooh! Look! The Sphinx!

Dammit - I didn't mean to come into this thread. I meant to go into the regular Firefly thread. I will not click that link. I will not click that link. I will not cli...

dammit - I'm a weak-willed women. Verra weak.
