Well, too be fair to the network, coming back to the series without my rose tinted glasses I absolutely blame Joss for sticking to his guns and insisting the pilot had to be feature length. That pilot absolutely could have been cut down to less than an hour, and as you said the out of order opening left audiences confused. I’d say it’s like 70% the studios fault and 30% on Wheaton.
