[QUOTE="jester47, post: 1958200, member: 2238"] The way I see it, is the western corrolary actually does make sense. In westerns New York is high tech. Tombstone is not. They were trying to do this with Firefly. The colony worlds are not high tech. The developed worlds are. The developed worlds look futureistic, the colony worlds are similar to westerns. The problem with a lot of westerns is that they do not go into the big cities. If someone made a western that told it like it was, that is showed New York and then took you out to the west, you would have the same feeling of inherent flaws. Take for example that Arthur Conan Doyle, Billy the Kidd, Many US civil war generals, Queen Victoria, Albert Einstein, Kaiser Willhelm II, Teddy Roosevelt, Geronimo, Nicolai Tesla, Doc Holiday, Thomas Edison, Pancho Villa and Wyatt Earp were all contemporaries. That is there were years where all these people were alive simultaneously. WWI is not that far removed from the Wild West and both are very close to Victorian England. Most people do not associate these as the same time period, even though they were. Aaron. [/QUOTE]
