So, we finally watched it. It was like the lovechild of "meh" and "suck." But given the stories of Fox fucking with the pilot and demanding reshoots, I'll at least give it a week or two to see if we get something that might resemble Joss's actual vision.
Of course, the same thing happened with Firefly, but it still had a witty pilot*. So I'm not sure that's an excuse. And I can't imagine even the dumbest Fox exec saying, "hey, let's actually have no interesting dialogue at all. Also, could you throw a woman in a refrigerator? We've heard that's the latest trend nowadays."
*Wash or "The Train Job." Take your pick.
