I shall be sensible and hide this under a cut due to potential spoilerage

Very enjoyable!
Seems they definitely had time and scriptwriting ability. Addition of James Marsters definitely helped, most fun! ("Noo... it's a poodle!").
Seemed to be less time spent on pointless moody angst, though there was still some of it.

Other plotlines I'd like to see:
* What happened when Jack was away and the team was quasi-competent and not needing someone to fix everything
* Backstory spinoff Jack/John time-agent scammers

Liked the Whedon-related nods - how many did you spot? Western-style clothing, "Vera", knock-out lipgloss. And Buffy-like reference, maybe, that it would be nice if there was a blond(e) team member.

Bonus points for a line of enquiry starting "have you seen a blowfish in a sports-car?"

There was something else that made me yell firefly buty I forget what it was now... the knock out lipgloss made me laugh, especially as I thought it would be amusing before it occured!

Some of the camera-work in the preview of next week made me think of Firefly - I think it was the camera-angle looking up Capt. John's gun.

I did think the filming style was very pretty in places, especially Tosh and trout-man pottering round that warehouse - lovely lighting!
