Not American, so the cultural reference flew right over my head. But I seriously can't unsee how odd the lack of Asian actors in the show is since it was pointed out to me.But for me, Firefly's overarching story isn't what interested me. The whole 'hands of blue' bit felt incredibly disjointed from the rest of the series. I loved the show entirely because the core cast seemed to play so well off of each other, and it felt more like a family drama in space than any 'epic sci-fi plot'. I loved all of the main characters, and wanted to see how they'd organically grow and change.Realistically, do I think Whedon could have maintained that appeal if he was given more time with the show? Not really. But for what we got, it was a good show. And in a way, the fact that it was cut off so abruptly and didn't have time to get bad helps maintain that.</blockquote>
