I apologize in advance for overruling the "don't review other reviews" guideline but... that is exactly my problem: I have read DOZENS of the reviews on these pages, trying to get a little thoughtful insight... and they're all the same: "Ooh... this show isn't eXACtly dreadful but... 'Our expectations are SO HIGH, Joss! - SO HIGH!!!' ...couldn't you have just... oh, we dunno... lived up to 'em just a little?? ???"
Chrissakes! You people are DISGUSTING!! STOP WATCHING THIS! You have no business even trying to comprehend this show! I have read (& OWNED) every single one of the comic books (since the 1950's!!) ...that were written to get toward getting these movies (then, this TV show) made ...EVERY one... AND, I am the Biggest Browncoat in the 'VERSE, this side of Nathan Fillion or the Whedon Family... ...and it just upsets me NO END that all you Miserable TROLLS(!) even bother to watch this show... or ANY of Joss's shows! You're only watching it to have something else to WHINE about! You're all the same people who turned up on fireflyfan.com to gloat about how "Serenity" was a financial failure! TAKE A HIKE! Go find something you can actually get behind and ENJOY it for a change! And let the rest of us enjoy THIS show without your petty, ignorant sniveling!
Now, I have not only owned & read every single one of these comics BUT, I have watched Every Single Television Show in HISTORY(!), since Annette Funicello was a Mouseketeer and, I can authoritatively assure you that there has NEVER been a better television show IN HISTORY(!)... than The Agents... none... Bar None!... not L.A.Law, not The Smothers Brothers (despite those Beatles videos), not My So-Called Life, not Allie MacBeal and, for all us Browncoats (least... those that were payin' attention), CLEARLY, this is the New Firefly. Joss couldn't resurrect Firefly in a way that fully carried on its spirit in a direct fashion and so, give the man a little Clout/Moolah and look it(!) ...'Serenity' takes off as 'The Bus;' Planet Earth is The 'Verse an Coulson is "Cap'n Tightpants, Sir!" Not to mention the Flying "Family" of Outsider Misfits and, even, the occasional cowboy with a shotgun! All ya gotta do is get to the next job... "...just need to Keep Flyin'..." Didja happen to notice Ron Glass? To quote Napoleon Dynamite, "GO-OSH!"
But see how it works out?... I missed Firefly so much and Lookit! Here I am being handed 'Neofirefly' on a Silver Platter. I love it! It's like Joss 'n' Jed took the lessons that got beaten into them with Firefly/Serenity, hooked up with Mr. Stan Lee :-) :-) ...and figured out how to do it even better! Man, if any of you TROLLS can do better with your fine know-it-alledness, why don't you get your OWN miserable TV show and prove it? Put - your - money - where - your - mouth - is... or (to quote Ginny Weasley) "SHUT IT!" ...and let the rest of us enjoy the Whedonverse without your miserable, STINKY opinions clouding up our breathin' air?

I don't understand why "mandlk" would be concerned with how "secular," much less "TOO secular" this made-for-TV movie is, or whether or not it made "sure there was No religion in this movie" as, the entirety of the story of - and the origin of the story of - "Santa Claus" has nothing to do with religion, whether viewed secularly or otherwise, in any fashion. The legend of Santa Clause derived from Thomas Nast year end cartoons printed in New York in the 1820's, amplified by Coca- Cola (paint)advertisements dating as late as the 1930's.
The English colonists of what had been "New Amsterdam," now New York, had no legend that correlated with the Dutch "Sinter Klaas," wherein Sinter Klaas would visit all the good (Dutch) children, giving them gifts and whatnot. After the English had taken over New Amsterdam, they ended up evolving the Santa Claus legend (and boy... it's a long story) to please their children. The Santa Claus story we're all familiar with in the 21st-Century didn't fully gel until after the Great Depression of the 1930's and, especially, with the "Miracle on 34th Street" film.
I guarantee it had nothing, whatsoever, to do with religion, lack of religion or secularism... or NON-secularism... or even a Christian usurpation of some pagan yule tradition. It is basically a 19th- century urban legend that became evermore-convenient to present-for-commercialization for the benefit of whoever happened to sponsor the latest made-for-whatever-medium depiction of it.
I suggest you simply enjoy the movie for the 'warm-fuzzies' it contains... or not... "That choice is left up to you."
