Where we speak of bad movies.

[Jester]

Joss had the original series setup in a specific manner to be shown, but Fox showed the series out of this order. This turned the series from something akin to Babylon 5 (where there was a definitive story arc) into Star Trek/Next Generation (where it was episodic and one episode didn't really tie into the prior or next outside of the cast).

Worse. It was like some Borgesian horror, a book read with the chapters all jumbled up. Firefly was never an episodic show. It was a beautifully crafted linear show, each episode building subtly and carefully on the last, and then shown in the wrong order.
