Just watched two hours of Firefly.

Why is it so good?

And where is the Mal/Simon slash?

ETA: Where is the good Mal/Simon written by people who aren't writing "and then, like OMG, they have this totally great date so now they are thinking about when they can totally see each other again."

NO.

Please, decent plots, decent voices and an interest in the culture of the universe which means the trapped on a ship together factor, the moral codes of the larger society, the class differences between the characters etc.

Yes, I've only seen two episodes.
Yes, I'm this picky.
Because yes, I've already seen the sucktacular, and I don't mean cock.

It only gets better too. I'm amazing by it, it's definitely Whedon's best work, and it has spawned a truly amazing amount of slash of all sorts. OTOH, I cannot recommend enough against seeing Serenity, it very badly did not work.

Firefly is also the only place where slash truly transformed (or perhaps warped is a vastly better word) my watching of the show. I read some impressively well written River/Simon slash after watching the episode Safe and it changed how I saw the two of them - definitely wrongness.

In any case, welcome to the fandom!

I have found that Serenity works better on the small screen. Whendon is better at shooting for small wide screen rather than large wide screen.

Just my thoughts, your mileage may vary.

And my roomie found Buffyverse/Firefly crossover. Imagine Mal and Spike on the bridge.
