That might've been cured in future episodes but it was weak of the director/creator to think he had all that time to flesh the material out. They could've went with the original crew and kept the doctor, his sister, and the sheperd out of the whole first season and worked on fleshing out the core crew more. I still have no grasp of the personality/style of the pilot or his wife, outside of him being a good pilot and her being an old work friend of the captain. Heck, even the mercenary didn't seem to have much depth to him although he did seem to be developing some.Spoiler Space...The big betryal on disk three was exceptionaly weak. He betrays two people who've caused trouble for everyone and from a woman whose stabbed him. Heck, a real betrayal would've been him giving up the Firefly and it's crew as opposed to the two strangers of the crew. Just my opinion though.The Heart of Gold episode was a nice tribute to good old Seven Samurai or the western version where a smaller force faces a larger force but really didn't showcase the characters having any intelligence. The real trick would've been having the merc stay in town, when the big speech is given, assassinate the guy from across town, and lie low as opposed to getting involved in a shoot out where they know they're outgunned. Military intellignece once again shows it's an oxymoron.</blockquote>
