But Buffy is more hard-(science/fantasy) than Star Wars, because the Axioms of the Jossverse are testable by experiments done in that Universe, while in Star Wars the rules of the world keep changing across the movies. Come on, people. Buffy is _humour_. The fun of it is the absurdity of the almost **self-consistent** Jossverse, where Vampires, Demons, Zombies, Witches, etc share the world with XX and XXI century technology. I haven't seen _Firefly_ [and probably never willl - it was cancelled, wasn't it?] but if Joss Whedon had continued with the Jossverse it would be another great show. Imagine: Vampires against laser guns? Alberto Monteiro _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
