W...Isn't this true of all really good art, though? We're always left wanting more? Have you ever noticed that the whole concept of sequels never existed before the 20th century? Think of all the great literature - Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Shakespeare (well, ignore Shakespeare - he was ALL about the sequels... historical ones, that is!) <BR/><BR/>Our demand for entertainment is insatiable, and we always want more of anything good. The Brits have a better sense of proportion in this; series like The Office and Black Adder and Absolutely Fabulous are only 6 episodes A SEASON. And the concentration of quality is far greater as a result.<BR/><BR/>It's best that Firefly died when it did, with a whole vista of possibilities still unrealized... our imaginations can actually be used now! It died before it began to suck, as do so many shows.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I adored the movie as well; hmmm, I should put it on my Netflix list! It so completely eclipsed the Lucas loogies of the last decade.Susaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977938723351021767noreply@blogger.com
