Actually, Flash movies are generally resolution independent and can scale to the size of the browser window (when authored properly, anyway), so there is no need to impose size or format restrictions on them.
Granted, Buffy does not fit what a lot of people would consider the usual definition of science fiction (science being conspicously absent), but it is a well-written show. I really could not understand what people saw in this show for the longest time, but boredom and a Buffy Viewer's Choice marathon changed my mind almost overnight.
Suspension of disbelief was a battle for me with this one, but once I grudgingly accepted the premise, I grew to love the characters and relish every chapter of a story that was sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and always suprising.
Like most good writing, the story does not immediately make itself appreciated, but once you have seen enough to become aware of the characters and appreciate the story arcs, it gets into your pores and stays there.
In less than one year, I went from Buffy-hater to owning the entire series on DVD.
Don't let the obvious bullseye this series paints on the teen target market lull you into thinking this show is just fluff. It makes some very sly jabs at just about every genre cliche there is, and, if you let it, can move you to screams, tears or fits of laughter all in a single episode.
That being said, go ahead and hate it if you want. More DVD's for me:-)
...like the robot I have, which patrols the house tirelessly cleaning up all the food the kids drop. It is self-recharging, and can resist any amount of abuse the kids dish out. It will even retrieve certain items for me, and doubles as a securioty system. Best of all, it was free!
On the down side, she does get hair on the couch, but what can you expect from a Golden Retriever?
So if I genetically engineer a real virus that wipes out half the population of New York, I guess my lawyer will have a defense now...
"Honest, your honor, he was just trying to beef up everyone's immune system..."
Give me a break. Better yet, give me a G5. At least I can laugh at the contstant stream of infected exe's, scr's and the like that constantly flood my inbox.
Doesn't anyone have a constructive hobby anymore?
