I was delighted to see that I was 40% Reaver.  I think I fell down on the question "Are you a cannibal?" there: I was forced to answer "No, I have never even been to any German-speaking internet chat rooms."

Serenity (and Firefly) is the Joss Whedon property that I actually liked.  Not enought to watch it all - I think I've seen half the episodes - but more than Angel or Buffy, each of which held my interest for the bulk of one series, and both of which drifted into drearily tedious as they progressed.
