You should at least check out Firefly. It's still cliched geek sci-fi, but the writing is top notch for the most part and the characters mesh really well. Mal, for many, really became the true Han Solo people have been looking for since Star Wars IV pre-Lucas edits.

If you're in the U.S. and have a Netflix sub, you can watch them instantley: http://movies.netflix.com/W...

Serenity was primarily for fans, like myself, of the TV series and was kind of Whedon's way of finishing off his overall story he had planned from the series in a quick fashion. It wasn't as good as the better episodes of the show, but it was better than nothing.

Buffy was a hit and miss. It got real messy when they had to focus on teen elements but shined brightest when it decided to not take itself serious. Angel I would say the same, though I did enjoy it a bit more at most times for not sticking too much to the High School mentality of handling relationships. I can see how you considered them cheesy and stupid, though.

I also enjoyed Titan A.E., which he also wrote. One of those hidden gems for animated films, IMHO. Then there's always Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog :p

I think it very important to note that Zack Penn, who has written more comic book screenplays this generation than anyone else that I can think of, is working with him. With Whedon's style and Penn's knowledge/experience, there's definitely a lot of potential there.

Yeah Im more than willing to work together on something. Im working on my second feature film right now, and ill be calling agents and such again when its done to try and sell both of them.

We should get some PMs going and exchange emails then. I have some fun ideas that I started on but never fully realized so I'd like to get some feedback and collaboration started sooner than later.

Heh. Yeah, if it's in your instant queue, give it a try. Suggested episodes are:

- The Train Job (ending really shows you who Mal is)

- Our Mrs. Reynolds

- Out of Gas (though, watch a few others first to get to know the crew as it contains flashbacks to first meeting each one from Mal and Zoe's perspective)

- Serenity (should be the first episode)
