[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8159044, member: 6704184"] None of those things are plot holes. 30 million people on a planet with little outside contact, kept under wraps by the government, and then all mention of it scrubbed from records, is entirely believable. It's quite likely the verse has multiple times more population than modern day Earth, and who is going to remember a small unremarkable world like Miranda? The test subjects were probably chosen in part to avoid selecting one part of a large but close extended family, which isn't hard to do, nor is it hard for such a government to shut up any family that does come looking. The overwhelming majority of people never knew Miranda existed in the first place. We know Miranda happened during the lifetime of the crew, because Reavers showed up during that timeframe. There is no reason for Mal not to have seen or heard about people becoming Reavers, if they've been around since the war or before it. While they don't explicitly say that the new Reaver came about purely by way of trauma, it is the implication of the episode, and the theory of the show's main character in the episode. Of course, an unanswered question isn't a plot hole. [/QUOTE]
