I watched just over half the episode on friday, and I think I've watched
one or two epidoses a few weeks ago.

Watching the show is a good way to pass an hour but I don't think I will
ever follow it.  I don't feel anything for the characters at all, unlike
a few of the characters on Enterprise.  I'd actually rather watch
Stargate SG-1 over Firefly.  However, the opening credits are brilliant
and beautiful.

are there.
