Firefly is more like a self-righteous pleasure . . . I've always referred to such as 'beer money' pleasures. I set aside a part of my time and my money for simple, uncomplicated pleasures such as good pilsners and fun TV shows. Yes, I appreciate and buy good scotch and Gene Wolfe. But sometimes you just want a beer and a football game. Fortunately one a week is plenty. Now, off to the store to buy 'Firefly' and see them all in order.
