SEPARATED AT BIRTH? Because of raving about it from the hardcore Joss Whedon fans, I picked up a used copy of "Firefly" on DVD. It's reasonably enjoyable, though the overly-literalistic Western elements (cattle rustlers, revolvers, and a western ballad theme song) don't seem to work well with the highly realistic sci-fi elements (this is one of the few sci-fi shows that has no sound in space, as would actually be the case), and, as usual with Whedon, there's inexplicable stuff like the space prostitute who an integral part of the crew (no, I'm not making that up). However, is it just me or is Nathan Fillion a dead ringer for Peter Krause, in terms of looks, dialogue delivery, and just generally?
