[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5114783, member: 51930"] Ahh! Oy, SPOILER ALERT MUCH? Geez, why not just tell him who Kaiser Sose is?! Or, wait, who Luke Skywalker's daddy is? Or that Bruce Willis was dead the whole time!!!! 1) The Alliance is like the Yankees. We're talking about the show being post-Civil War. How this can be missed is baffling. That may be one of the reasons the show got canceled, because the hero Mal is a Brown Coat. This means he would have supported the South. While in the show this isn't a problem, for real people it means he would be supporting slavery and modern day racism (on top of the States' Rights over Centralized powers, which was the other big struggle, and why the Civil War is so complex and interesting). The issue of he show is freedom vs. control. 2) It's Reavers, not Raiders. 3) Watch the show. There's a language and style to it. You need to avoid aliens and sci-fi stuff, or special effects stuff. If it can be done in real life, or might be possible, then okay. More often than not it's a hoax: the "alien in a jar" is a cow fetus in fromaldahide. [/QUOTE]
