Babylon 5 is my favourite series of all time, particularly the 3rd and 4th seasons. I saw only one episode of Buffy and didn't care for it and so I watched neither Buffy nor Angel. I never bothered with Firefly for that reason.
That was a mistake on my part. I recently (almost grudgingly) picked up the DVD box set for Firefly, mostly because I'm familiar with the work of some of the people involved with the show and thought it only proper to see what they'd done.
By the time I finished the 14 episodes that were finished, I was so angry with Fox (as if I needed new reasons!) for cancelling show that I was beside myself. This show had the best writing, depth of concept, character development and dialog of ~any~ show I've seen since B5. Hands down. If only it had been given its head. Like B5, there's a sense that nothing and noone should be taken at face value.
The movie is very good, by the way. It has more impact if you've seen the series, but the movie stands on its own.
