YAY!

Yeah, I thought firefly had the most solid screenplays of anything I have ever seen on TV. I haven't seen every episode, but the ones I did see blew me away.

The only aspect I was puzzled by was the Geisha. She was real pretty at all, and she was a way better actress than most exceptionally pretty actresses, but aside from adding sex, she didn't take things anywhere. She was pretty much strictly a plot device, which would be fine on a lot of shows, but is really beneath Whedon.

It's hard to say because the series was cut so short, and it's quite possible he just hadn't gotten around to showing us why she was there beyond functional stuff like having status and access and the filler like looking hot and kissing a good looking woman.
