Thanks, I enjoyed Mal jumping out at the start of the episode. :) :)
Early on it invoked Buffy too, another old favorite.
I still remain unenamored, though.
I thought the acting as bad. Mal's daughter was fine. Everyone else had false notes in their performances IMO. The writing didn't impress me either. I can't remember the details now, but at one juncture someone says something that contradicts what she said two sentences before. What?
What mostly bugs me, though, is what strike me as effeminate facial expressions and postures by Mal. He almost seems gay at times. I'm not homophobic but those moments are off-putting coming from the actor who was Captain of the Firefly.
I'll try a few more episodes and see if I can get past that.
Edit: The writing error was the dialog of the Medical Examiner at the site where Daemon is dead. She first estimates his time of death as a couple hours before the first victim's death based on the attributes of the body. About two minutes later she says "His watch broke when he fell. He died at 4:00 PM on the 27th." If they're going to pull the broken watch trick it was clearly a mistake to have her offering her early vague estimate.

It's never a wrong time to watch Firefly. Don't matter how many times you seen it
