Further, and this is perhaps the source of most of my bitterness, Whedon's participation in the show distracted his attention away from both of his other running series, each of which greatly suffered in quality that year as a result of his absence. I realize this last one is probably not a fair criticism, but I can't help feeling that it is true.

Sales of this set are likely to be used to determine whether Fox gives Joss Whedon the chance to finish off the story in a feature film as he'd like.
