I just finished my review of the show. How does it sound? See below.

"This series had everything that the perfect show should have. It had fine, taut writing. The characters were well-crafted, diverse, and multidimensional. The setting was a weird combination of the Old West, Far East, and outer space, and in spite of how that sounds, it worked unbelievably well. The dialogue was typical Joss Whedon - snappy, at times dark, and at times funny. This show should still be airing everywhere, but in typical Fox Network fashion, they killed it with no more regard for it than a teenager has for an infant she stuffs into a dumpster during her Senior Prom. Harsh words, perhaps, but pretty accurate if you happened to watch this masterful production for the few weeks it aired, only to see it taken off the air and replaced with "American Idol", "Oliver Beene", "The Simple Life", and assorted other dreck and drivel that Fox now makes and airs by the boatload...

Anyway, the DVDs have all the episodes that aired, plus three that were in the can but never aired. Even better, the episodes were put on DVD in the sequence that should have been aired, not the botched-up hatchet-job sequence that the Fox Morons used. The 28-minute "Making Of..." featurette had a bittersweet quality to it, as evidenced by overt feelings of love for their product that the cast and crew showed. I didn't listen to the audio commentaries because I find that they divert attention from the actual episodes.

Well, all I can say is this... If you are checking out this page, then blow the lock off your wallet, and order this DVD set. Hell, order two in case you damage one set.

If you are a Reality TV show watcher, save your money, and go back to watching the glorified test paterns you have grown accustomed to. If you like interesting TV shows with heart, fun, darkness, and the whole gamut of human emotions, then definitely buy this set. 'Nuff said :-)"

Did I capture the right combination of love and bitterness? I was trying to give Fox the

while I was showing my love for the show. I hope it showed

"You can't take the sky from me..."
