It accomplished more quality television in 14 episodes than a lot of other shows manage in their whole run. There's no dud episodes. Serenity is awesome too. The only thing holding it back from being quite as grand as Firefly is the fact that they had to make it so it would appeal to those who never saw the series. I personal hate when a movie is made and the characters have to kinda be introduced again.
In saying that, Joss Whedon did an exceptional job handling that crappy necessity, and its not very obvious or tedious at all. In fact he bothered to add a little more to the characters during this which makes it feel a lot less unnessary. It's always worse when they rehash stuff we have already seen in the re-introductions. So kudos.
Amazing series and a truly terrific film follow up.

And with that said, I think i'll buy it...perhaps more sells will translate in Buffy & Angel on blu ray?
