For those who have never gotten into any of Joss Whedon's work (Firefly, Serenity, Buffy, Angel) for whatever reason, you should read the links below. They're a couple of blog entries on 'One Toe In' (summary: One writer's first dip into the digital stream: thoughts and ideas on most things written -- literature of many stripes, comics, music, movies, TV...) that give a great introduction and summary to those shows and movie. They're well-written and are good, enjoyable reads that delve into the qualities of each show that make them great.
