The best, and worst, part of Firefly was Joss Whedon. He's a good
storyteller, but he just took too long to develop the series and then
sprung all the stuff in Serenity on us with little explanation.

If only the splintering of the old TV studio system had come along just a little earlier and/or happened just a little bit faster/deeper. If Joss had created Firefly on a modern streaming platform we'd probably be in the middle of Season 17 now. :P
