I've not seen Firefly. But now that you mention it, I realise that I picked up
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet expecting a novel, but got a TV series. What I thought was the main plot (the mysterious angry planet) was just a way to link the episodes together, somewhere for them to be going and something for a big finale in the last episode. The book is well written, but not what I was expecting and that has coloured my reaction.
