I liked Firefly, but my friends hyped it up so much before I saw it, that I was a bit disappointed when I actually got to see it.
I think that's my problem too. Pretty much your entire post reflects how I feel about it! I've been hearing so much hoo-hah over it that when I finally sat down and watched the pilot, I felt a bit cheated. Maybe I expected too much because everyone else loved it so much. I'll try another couple of episodes, though. I'll give it a chance, but honestly I just can't see myself getting all fannish over it.
Amusing aside though, about halfway through I thought of a line from Stand By Me: "You ever notice on "Wagon Train" they never really get anywhere? They just keep wagon trainin'..." :p
