I don't know about the rest of you, but I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I think if i could have a space like reality it would be something like firefly/ Serenity.

For those who don't know the series firefly or the movie serenity...shame on you :)

For those who do...Shiny, lets be bad guys.

I agree absolutely, my fellow Browncoat. Keep flying.

firefly/serenity was absolutely cool. It's a shame they didn't continue the series.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

Absolutely NOT a Ripoff.
I believe one of my favorite of Whedon's coments regarding the origin was about him watching a show on the civil war "And this made me think of the Millennium Falcon.. because most things do"

There were some similarities to Blake's 7, yes.
And one direct Homage line "I was aiming at his Head"

"Ripoff" is... A bit of a stretch.
Name me a single Sci-Fi Series or Movie that can't be called a ripoff of something.

I watched the first few minutes of "Firefly" and thought, "There's no sound in space! Awesome!"

Of course that singular bit of reality went out the window in short order. I don't think I watched more than two whole episodes.

I have watched "Serenity" a couple of times, though. That hovercraft/land vehicle they use to escape the reavers is now on display on the Universal Studios tour.
