saw the first episode last night. for a first episode it didn't really leave me feeling warm and fuzzy ala the BSG pilot, but i have so much faith in joss it doesn't bother me too much.

nice to see some friendly faces other than dushku; fred from angel and sergeant agathon from BSG are going to be major characters.

didn't get to see much of the bad guy (the most important part of any fantasy show, at least for me) but he looks suitably evil though i cant help but think of sylar from heroes atm.

i expect big things from joss so hopefully he can deliver.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to checking this out too. It's an interesting idea for a series.

Seriously. Hopefully Fox has learned from it's past mistake. I'm STILL dirty about them canning Firefly

yeah, i know its only 1 ep in but without the immediate humour it hasnt grabbed me as quicky as firefly. though one character does make a reference to james edward olmos! joss always was a fan of pop culture references in buffy, back then it was B5 (for me and him) and now its BSG. its like we're linked together by good taste

Lol. It's weird though, it took me 2 or 3 episodes to get into Firefly. The characters were sort of...yeah, different I guess. Turned out to be awesome though. But, for some reason I never got into Buffy

I'm a big Whedon fan and will be watching. I'm a little confused at the OP comparing it to Battlestar Galactica though. What is the connection between BSG and Whedon? As a fan of both Whedon and BSG, is there a hidden connection?

In the world of PKC, everything is compared to BSG, or Babylon 5. Everything.

Joss: Um, I think [battlestar galactica] obsessive is too light a word. I absolutely adore it. It's my favorite show ever. Come on, it's "The West Wing" with space battles. It covers all of my needs. I watch their storytelling and go, "Oh, so that's how it's done. Fvck."

Last nights episode was much better and it's beginning to build a story, mystery, and characters.
