Farscape was a better show than Firefly was, at any rate. At least they tried to go somewhere with the characters instead of falling back on yuk-yuk-chuckle one-line Whedonisms and passing off a character who was just bat-shit loco as "deep and mysterious."
Which reminds me, I need a new av/sig.
As for BSG, I've only seen a few episodes, but what I saw had them seriously pumping the melodrama. Dunno, I've heard that MGM or whoever it is that produces the show were really being assholes about downloading, but maybe I'll take my chances and watch a little more.
As for Buffy/Angel...I watched Buffy, beginning to end, the whole series. There were times I couldn't believe what I was watching was actually ever filmed, much less aired, but more often than not I could appreciate it as campy fun. Until Whedon played the ridiculously out-of-place rape card and then got preachier than the 700 club in the last season. Fuck him. And Angel...I'm not equipped to handle those levels of emo. Okay, we get it, you're tortured. Thank you for beating me over the head with the archetype bat, I'm sure never to forget now.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
