It's definitely worth a look; actually seeing the opener that was intended might have changed your opinion. Fox bungled it so spectacularly.

For me, it's all about the characterization and the acting. I can't help but fall a little bit in love with Joss' characters. Plus, I've loved Nathan Fillion since he was the best damn Joey ever on One Life to Live like ten years ago. And, of course, there's the sexiness of Gina Torres and the slashiness between Simon and pretty much all of the male characters, which is fun.
