Unfortunately for the show I think the grievances you cited turned a lot of people off early on, never to return. Glad to hear your wife stuck it out with you.

I was happy with the song, but the reveal at the end of the song of a bunch of horses ... ... in SPACE ... struck me as terribly contrived. Then the badly edited cut to Inara with her client just confused me, I couldn't tell which character she was or how we got here. Then she gets randomly insulted. :( So at that point I was on the fence. Luckily, that happens to be an exhaustive list of flaws for the entire series. xD Wash playing Dinosaur and the Crybaby scene, along with the romantic treatment of events in space (no sound, but the visuals set you up so you are deafened by what you can't hear: eat that, Kubrick!) and unsteady-cam in space shots were the quick, immersive elements I needed to stay on long enough to see the character development. My wife, luckily, was also hooked on Ep 1 :3 I found the first episode a challenge to begin with, due to stilted production value near the beginning (establishing scene at Serenity Valley, explosions were.. pink?).
