[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 5016739, member: 4720"] I think we watched different BSGs. Mine had [I]very[/I] flappable leaders, a muddy chain of command, people running from the bad guys most of the time, and the only surviving military were [i]explicitly[/i] the misfits who spent most of the time bickering and infighting against the most downbeat situations imaginable. Compared to most of BSG, Firefly [i]was[/i] an example of over-the-top "Big Damn Heroes" cowboying it up in space. Firefly was a [i]much[/i] lighter show. For other points of irony... this thread has complained that Firefly's cast was too big for success. BSG's regular cast could swallow 6 of Firefly's cast. As has been pointed out, the primary reason BSG was allowed to finish and Firefly was not is simple: Firefly was on a [SIZE="5"]Network[/SIZE], and BSG was on a [SIZE="1"]network.[/SIZE] There are many other points of comparison, but at the end of the day, that one's the 400 pound gorilla.
