Well, first I got the first DVD via Netflix. I watched a couple of episodes and I agree, it has charm, but I didn't get hooked. I didn't finish all of the episodes on that disk and didn't get any more. Then, recently, I looked at some of the re-runs. Again, I got through a couple of episodes and then stopped. Getting jaded, I suppose.

I like the review of Serenity and look forward to seeing it. Depending on my reaction, I may go back to the series. If so, I will heed your advice and pay attention to order :<) .
