[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I always figured that a show like "Firefly" absolutely HAD to take place across interstellar distances. For one thing, just because we don't [i]see[/i] any ships traveling at FTL (that we can be sure of anyway) doesn't mean that they never did at all. For example, take the usual visual effect of a Starfleet ship's jump to warp speed -- aside from the bright flash at the very end, is there really that much different when it's compared to [i]Serenity[/i]'s "rapiding" launch? (I'm not proposing that "rapiding" is necessarily even close to the same as warp drive, but that from a "stationary" person's perspective, how can you really tell the difference?) After all, consider that space is so inconceivably vast that viewing a ship from a distance away, even at FTL speeds, the stars shouldn't necessarily be noticeably moving. As for that pesky encounter with the Reaver ship in the pilot, I'd just as soon gloss over that. ;) One final bug to squash: in the pilot's teaser, when the Alliance cruiser's sensor officer picks up the distress call from several "clicks" ahead, I figure that "clicks" no longer refers simply to kilometers or miles once everyone moved into space.
