Oh, I think you misunderstand me. I had *high* expectations for the show; it *is* Whedon, after all. It's just that the trailer exceeded my already high expectations. Of course, in the US this will air on Fox, which means we'll be lucky if they air three episodes before cancelling the show and then waiting a year or two to release the DVDs. I think the last non-reality series they gave a real shot was Millenium, which they gave a whole three seasons despite what I remember as not exactly stellar ratings (well, very good ratings initially, but then rapidly dropping and staying fairly low from the second half of the first season pretty much through to the end). -- Mauro Diotallevi Alcohol and calculus don't mix.
