Serenity, Whedon and the power of the Brown Coats

This article was linked to IMBD a few weeks back and it was so good that I thought I would re-post it here.

To add my own feelings. Firefly/Serenity has to be one of the best TV shows to come out of the last decade. The problem is that, like shows like Arrested Development, people did not fully get them. Firefly/Serenity offers a SCFI show that is raw. It's not clean like a Star Trek, in this show the issues we face today are still around. Some may like to believe that racist, sexism, totalitarian governments, starvation and a long list of other problems will be gone in the future, however history and our currents course of events does not make me hopefully.

* If you are looking for another SCFI with a more raw feel to it, may I recommend the Battlestar Galactica made during the 2000s.
