Due to the infamous meddling of Fox TV execs (not just in this) to "soften" things. You'd think Whedon would have known by then, but I guess he needed the work...then, sure not now. This was apparently the lowest-rated TV show ever to be given a second season in decades, by any network/cable/etc.

So yeah, not popular in general, and a bit messy in execution, but the concept was very good. Not particularly original, but Whedon's intentions were interesting, and when your show is continually going to be cancelled it was hard to know what to do next, episode-wise. They massively cut the budget sometime in S1 so "the plan" couldn't be implemented...yeah, I admit it shows.

I would not want to discourage anyone from watching it though, like I got the complete set on BD for $10 or something cheap like that from amazon years ago and it was easily worth it (!). I suck up this kind of stuff though, and really liked the concept of this show. I am not 100% sure this sort of thing can't be done (in reality) now...
