[QUOTE="Psychic Warrior, post: 1952771, member: 17733"] Except when he tries to kill one of his own crew for betraying them. Except when she decides to leave the ship because of her fellings towards Mal. Except when he does betray his own crew. This is sucha broad "cliche" that it is impossible to deal with it. I could use this same arguement for every Star Trek character too, y'know. There are 8 main characters. You do expect a lot from 6 episodes. In other words - yes they do get some excellent scene time. Except when her 'craziness' saves the entire crew - because she wasn't truly 'crazy' to begin with. Holy crap you really do expect a lot from 6 episodes! Maybe it should have a had a Star Trek 'reset' button at the end of each show. And Babylon 5's romance between Delenn and Sheridan took nearly an entire season to develop - [i]that[/i] must have irritated you, too! I remember one bar fight that came as a direct result of Mal being on the losing side of the war. Perhaps there were more but I can't find the espidoes. This is opinion. You have yours. I have mine. See this was one thing I really liked about the show. Despite the high tech spaceships and such they are still struggling with their own poverty and being on the fringe of society. In Ariel you get to see high tech weaponry - but it isn't as relable as a good old fashion slug thrower. Face it guns like we have today are probably going to be around in one form or another for many decades simply because there are A) a lot fo them and B) the fastest way to kill something is with a large dose of kinetic energy. The fastest and cheapest way to deliver that energy is with a bullet. Fast. Cheap. I realyl don't think everything sci-fi has to have impossible to explain ray guns (see Classic Traveller for another example of slug throwing weapons. Hell even Games Workshops' Space Marines use 'bolters' that use a caseless exploding bullet) Watch the episode Ariel. Firefly handles high tech just fine (and you get your DNA scanning too).
