TBF for all the US South sympathising crap, the show doesn't shy away from showing the space confederates as impoverished lawless hellhole planets where slavery and tyranny is the norm. The space unionists live in gleaming sci fi metropolises with a mild case of MIB authoritarianism.

that's true! and Our Heroes depend on these conditions to get work, and if the space unionists helped everyone with poo poo like access to medical care and shelter, well, Mal would be out of a job our main characters specifically don't want things to get better for anyone bc it threatens what they see as their 'way of life', so they're crab bucketing and for some reason its being presented heroically

Firefly had the following: Fighting against big corporations Interracial marriage Normalizing sex work It is quite possibly the most liberal and progressive show in history

I bet Joss Whedon fans have lower than average life expectancies. On account of the obesity.

I wanted to like Firefly but it just felt like it was made for 13 year olds. If I had watched it when I was actually 13 I’m sure I would have loved it

I don't know if known sex pest Joss Whedon's Confederate-empathetic work is the what I'd use to try the ol' 'the more you sensitive nerds hate it, the more I LOVE IT!!' tactic but hey. You do you.

Things that I remember liking about Firefly: Alan Tudyk Nathan Fillion The scene where they do the "let's lose them by flying through this crazy canyon" thing and the pursuer just flies above the canyon Early the bounty hunter C'mon everyone, let's be positive here.

I remember all through the early 2000s and into the early 2010s everyone was all, "oh Joss Whedon write such good female characters and his shows are so great for women and blah blah," and that never felt accurate to me. The "strong" women in his shows only ever had strength or depth from having the absolute poo poo beaten out of them by a man/men until they became beautiful broken dolls with superhuman skills. Firefly was no different, Zoe was the only woman character with a hint of agency.

Firefly was no different, Zoe was the only woman character with a hint of agency. Buffy was a hot girl show written not to alienate women viewers. I think Alyson Hannigan said she didn’t even imagine her character was important to lesbians until fans told her so.

I remember trying to watch Firefly and not being able to get past two episodes or so which I don't remember anything about. But I watched the movie and I thought to myself that the big bad was stolen by the Mass Effect games, the reavers or reapers or someshit?

When I saw the Fright Night remake about 13 years ago, I was just rolling my eyes at the film. Turned out a Buffy writer also wrote it. Fright Night's about due for a Teen Wolf/Buffy/Stargate tv series reboot, though.

The theme song was okay. The sci-fi show with the most wrongly-maligned theme song is Star Trek: Enterprise.
