yeah, a solid improvement. could use some subtlety when explaining plot points. show, don't tell! i guess joss wanted things explained a little more obviously than axed firefly, so you can't really blame him.

So, 10 eps in. what is everyone thinking? I must admit im quite enjoying it. Despite its shiny veneer whedon has managed to inject some gritty depth to the concepts and characters so its much more interesting than I originally thought. It is still lacking most of the humour so readily available in joss' previous efforts, but you can't have everything.

Supposedly it got quite a bit better after the 5th or 6th episode, when Joss Whedon regained creative control from Fox over the direction of things. Was that the case from your perspective?
Obviously, I still haven't watched any of them

There are supposed to be 16 episodes in the first season, right? Shouldn't be too long before it's out on DVD then

It's probably on too late in the evening - all the middle-aged housewives are asleep.
