I am still very new to ljs, so I haven’t acquired much of a ‘friends list’, or gotten used to using a cute name for the list. Yes, having ‘Firefly’ be the Anti-Star Trek seemed really brilliant to me. I guess I had never really thought about it, but there is no way I would ever want to be part of such a sterile perfect world with all their controlled de-humanizing environments. Like most people, I feel that I am a total mis-fit, out of step with the rest of society, and I kind of prefer it that way! But the thing that really struck me as genius was the way Joss managed to have the misfits on both sides of the political spectrum identify with his BDHs!
