      A diverse cast of characters in the best way possible, they're interesting for who they are, not what they are - something modern Hollywood can't seem to shake.

      Propaganda was light.
      The guy who made it really loved it, when the creator loves their product - you're more likely to love the product.
      Hot women.
      Good story arc.
      Good individual episode plots.
      Good character development.
      And I think we can all agree it's a pretty good potential depiction of the future.
      Eve vibes.

      It's just good.
      I'm about to write my 8th book.
      I was inspired by the creators taking the time to design the Firefly's blue prints, I'll be doing the same for the ships featured in my next book.

      My only critique is that every place they went to seemed to have an old west country vibe going for it.
      If people are living on separate planets, they're not going to be living under the same old west culture - that was my biggest beef with the show.

      I didn't hear about it until 2012 and didn't watch it until 2015 or so.

        I liked it a lot. And the movie Serenity was a good way to complete the story. I think it was mainly interesting due to the cast, I enjoyed watching Mal and Jeyne and I could believe both their funny and serious sides.

          I would have been pissed if I paid theater prices for Serenity. It had small screen sensibilities, which is fine for tv. Not for the big screen.

          The Kaylee cop-out was insulting. Also, the meta message of Reynolds being a Confederate analog, while the government was the only place to find black characters, was Raimi meme level.

            NTA I thought Serenity tried too hard to be a 2005 summer blockbuster. It was really action packed and grim compared to the show.

          The movie left me wanting a 2nd season but it was none-the-less a good conclusion.

    I stole the plot of this show unconsciously for a post apocalyptic tabletop roleplaying game I ran for friends, as in the River plot, sort of. Her name was even the same as Rivers I just changed one letter. I didn't even realize I'd done that until a year later. Anyway instead of negotiating when they got into a fight with her, they shot her in the arm, beat her unconscious, then surgically crippled her by cutting her spine then later they dumped her in shallow water unable to move her legs and she drowned.

        It was pretty funny, provided actual backstory to the whole fricking verse and even the feminist protec-tha-prostitutes bullshit was almost bearable, compared to today's insufferable standards.

    It was the casting. The episodes are structured well, love him or hate him but Dan Harmon has episode structure down to a science and it's why his shows are enjoyable. Joss is good at it too.

    it's good, i rewatched it recently. it isn't the great show that i remember from watching it when i was younger, it's regrettable for the lost potential of what the show could have become if it matured further in successive seasons. of course as you can see in this thread people view it as a reddit show and judge it as shit because this board is incapable of balanced critical thought.
