I thought I'd pose this question to this forum since we all have an affection for the Whedonverse. Now that I' gone through all of the seasons of Buffy/Angel/Firefly, what TV show would you recommend me taking a stab at? Lost? Battlestar Galactica? Veronica Mars?
Just let me say that I've tried watching 24 (the first three seasons on and off) and I just couldn't get into it. The show is on constant crisis mode which is irriating and the show's gimmick leaves little real room for character development.
I'm about to start the last season of Alias (my dad TiVOed it for me). I'm a generally a fan of the show... it's the closest I've gotten to the Whedonverse outside that verse.
I haven't ever started Smallville... and there's a reason. My dad has all of the seasons on DVD so I can start it at any time. The story intrigued me at first. But the more I heard about who is visiting Smallville (Lex Luther, Lois Lane, Bruce Wayne, Brainac, Aquaman etc.) the less "small" it felt. Doesn't the concept kind of delude the whole point of a Smalville in Superman's life... a superhero sprouting from humble beginnings? And the longer the show goes on the greater part it plays in his life... what if Clark Kent gets stuck in Smallville and starts his own car repair shop and NEVER joins the Daily Planet????
Though knowing that Christopher Reeve had a re-occuring cameo role makes it a little more tempting.
Your thoughts?
