Counterpoint
It's driving me nuts not to point out the obvious flip side to what I posted last. Because, great as the first season was...how awesome would more seasons be? Faith's my favorite Buffy character, and Spike and Oz run a close second. I loved Anya, and if they hadn't had the spinoff into Angel, then there wouldn't have been the entire Cordelia character arc that was actually the thing that Joss started Buffy so he could say (before things with Cordy got all fuckin' weird). Seriously, Buffy the Vampire Slayer with no Spike? That's just...weird. And on AoS, they just introduced Bobbi, which I hadn't heard was happening, and was obnoxisouly smug about when watching with my Dad, because he always figures out what's happening onscreen before it's had a chance to unfold--it was nice to be on the other end of that exchange for once. And Hunter! I'm a big Hunter fan, and now it seems like it'd be weird without Hunter. Though I do long a bit for happy Hydra-free days on the Bus. It seemed like there was more May then. But that's a whole other thing. My sorta rambly point here is that while I can, at times, enjoy the benefit of the time capsule that is that lone glorious season of Firefly, some of the best things come with time.
Like, I adore So Jealous, but my life would be so much emptier without The Con. If Tegan and Sara had just decided to stop recording, that would have been a hell of a shame. I was thinking about that kind of thing while listening to the Dixie Chicks in the car today. God, I miss their music. I loved watching Hunger Games, but I think missing Jena Malone play Johanna in Catching Fire would kinda be a fucking tragedy. Like waiting through all the X-Men movies for Bobby to finally turn into and iceman, and then see him make a damn ice slide...14 years later. (it's possible i have some undiscovered feelings about this. interesting.) But shit, it was an awesome ice slide.
