If this isn't a one shot joke, I can see Hanners explaining her dream, and Marigold getting upset/depressed because it sounds like she's saying she thinks it would be a nightmare to be living her (Marigold's) life. Marigold needs some self confidence booster shots, stat.

They are not worth paying for. The show features some of the worst cliched writing ever by Joss Whedon and the only reason anyone still thinks the show is good is because it was canceled long before the normal idiocy Whedon pulls in every single thing he writes had a chance to crop up (seriously, Google up and check some of the concepts for the show Whedon was planning on before it got canceled, like the quasi-incest sub-plot in Season 2 between Simon and River *shudder*).
The show survives purely on the magnificent casting job that was done for each character and the acting chops they each brought to their roles. I mean, you have Adam Baldwin basically reprising his Animal Mother role from Full Metal Jacket IN SPACE, which is pretty funny, but still not worth buying.
Borrow it or rent it, don't buy it.

Are you saying that the only reason people still like Firefly is because they never got to see what might have happened in the next season(s)? I may be alone here, but isn't it better to critique a show, or any artistic creation, by what was actually put forth, rather than what was conceptualized? Condemning a creative fiction because the storyboarding has not been to your liking pretty much stomps on a creator's ability to learn and grow as an writer. To put it another way, I don't believe there are bad creative ideas, only ideas that help you be more creative.
I know you probably didn't mean to say that this was the only reason it was bad (you mentioned cliched writing which, yes, it does, in my case it didn't detract from my enjoyment very much but I respect your opinion that it does). I hope you'll agree with me though that the finished product shouldn't be judged by the outline, or even the rough draft.

fanfiction.net would like a word with you.

Why, we could start with how every major female character in QC thus far has a mental disorder and can't be in a stable relationship without therapy. We could start. But I'd rather not. ;)

Take a look: most of the characters have some sort of mental issue. I honestly think the only mostly normal ones are Penelope and Angus.

I'm sorry, have you seen Penelope? The blonde pent up ball of rage and misdirected aggression? The woman who despises the fact that she wants to be a literary agent but doesn't want to the hard graft to realise that ambition? The barrista who rages at the fact that someone like Faye has a natural talent for sculpting but, for her own reasons, has lost her passion for sculpting, while Penelope is behind a coffee counter? A woman who religious upbringing has made her blind and ignorant of other people's own beliefs, to the point where she will ridicule them for those beliefs?
That Penelope, or is there some other Penelope running around that I don't know about? (and don't say Pizza Girl, coz when was the last time she was in the comic?)
DSL:
Penelope is "fear of success" embodied.
Is it cold in here?:
