The Outlook: This is without a doubt the most anticipated genre series of the fall season and for good reason. It's obvious Whedon is no mere mortal. After all, how could he be with four series in production at the same time? But beyond that, his fantasy shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel are the best TV has to offer. His shows are funny, scary and very entertaining. But more importantly, they're consistent, with a true depth of character and story that is rare. For him to delve into the world of science fiction holds a natural appeal. Whether or not Whedon and his crew can pull off another great series is difficult to know at this stage. No pilot has been available for preview and only brief glimpses have been seen. But it sounds and looks fantastic, and more importantly, I trust Whedon to do a good job. As far as the timeslot, there's no serious competition for the series, which will air early on Friday night. The biggest problem will most likely be Fox, considering they don't have much patience these days with new shows. They canceled Dark Angel after all, and that had pretty decent ratings. Fox is looking for a hit to replace The X-Files, and if Firefly doesn't perform quickly, it will flicker out quicker than you can say, "Will Buffy have an eighth season?" So, instead, let's all watch it and see if we like it. After all, with the Farscape cancellation, we need a really great science-fiction show to take its place.
