So would you say that Firefly jumped the shark when Wash and Book died?

There's a difference between a willingness to do 'anything', and a single pivot point that succinctly illustrates a downhill slide into absurdist mediocrity.

Show Spoilers

Responses:

I never watched Happy Days, but did anything about the show fundamentally change after the Fonz's jump? -- nm - nubby Jul 25, 14:57 9
- yes. It became a series about gimmcky episodes. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:07
- It's about when Chachi showed up, so yeah, a pretty good decline in quality. -- nm - Callisto Jul 25, 15:07 6
  - (basically, Chachi added to the cast, Richie gets a serious girlfriend, Al replaces Pat Morita as diner owner) -- nm - Callisto Jul 25, 15:07 5
    - Mork. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:10 3
      - oh, right. Right. - Callisto Jul 25, 15:12 2
        
        Oh sure. But "Kids from the 50s meet a free-associating alien in rainbow suspenders" is out there. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:13 1
        
        It is. (Note: I had rainbow suspenders with the pointy finger just like Mork's.) - Callisto Jul 25, 15:18
    - (and then Weezer shows up and refuses to try the fish.) -- nm - TFox Jul 25, 15:10
- heh, I have no idea :) I didn't watch it. - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:58
