And I've just never encountered any TV show that could absorb my attention for as long as this one has, or that could repay close attention the way this one does.
Mmmm, I think there's exactly where we split. I agree on the first part, but not the second. Buffy the TV show often does repay close attention, but just as often, I find things are glossed over, left unexplained, or just plain defy logic. Like I said, that's okay, I don't mind. I'm just as happy writing meta or fanfic to explain what I can, and the rest I'll ignore in favor of the parts that work. But I'm under no illusions that Joss always knows what he's doing, because sometimes it's pretty obvious he doesn't.
So while you're going into the comics with pretty much complete faith that things will make sense, I'm going in thinking Joss has got maybe a 50-50 record, and that's not enough to sustain me through 40 issues to find out which one of us is right in the end.
