Beg to differ...
...it's not a Sci-Fi in space, it's a western in space. It's your favourite cowboy series from your childhood, it just happens to be set in space in the future. And everyone speaks Mandarin. Don't worry.
I don't feel that any of the episodes dragged - I feel that each one was a masterpiece. And the film was epic and I can't watch it without crying at least three times. And ho doesn't enjoy shouting "Ni ta ma de tien xia suo yuo de ren dou gai xi" when things go a bit wrong?

I managed to get Firefly and Serenity into a Film exam answer on westerns
dealing with manifest destiny and such like.. think i might have even mentioned Easy Rider aswell, I may have been pushing the boundaries of what you can call a western a bit, got a good mark though..

No,
It's fine.
The Western genre sometimes portrays the conquest of the wilderness and the subordination of nature in the name of civilization or the confiscation of the territorial rights of the original inhabitants of the frontier.
Now, tell me that doesn't apply to the terraforming of the new worlds, and the Alliance...
