Heck if you want to get into cliches just read any genre fiction (I remember recently posting in the "Farm Boy Saves the World" thread discussing fantasy novels, and I've been thinking about how much drama relies upon repetitive themes). The Firefly characters had enough nuance so that I was usually surprised by what happened in each episode, and I enjoy that. Ditto with the tech: I found the dichotomy between prosperous high-tech inner worlds and poor outer worlds believable (especially a few years after a major interstellar war), you didn't. I knew I was going to enjoy the show when I saw the first episode and the characters were in space, and it was silent. Sure there was stuff I found annoying, like the deep space flyby of the Reaver ship, but the dialogue and characters caught me up and really drew me into the series.Apropos of nothing, I'm one of three DMs running groups in Neverwinter Nights campaigns set in the Firefly universe at <a href="http://www.neverwinterconnections.com" target="_blank">www.neverwinterconnections.com</a>. Another fan did a total conversion of the game to run in the Firefly universe; if you've played NWN and are interested in something different, check it out at <a href="http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/modules/data/1080769905000.shtml" target="_blank">http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/modules/data/1080769905000.shtml</a> (note: it's not a single-player mod, but a campaign requiring a DM).</blockquote>
