An administration large and efficient enough to successfully govern dozens of civilized worlds ( ponder the size and complexity of a government that manages a single planet for a second, let alone dozens) and an economy that’s prosperous enough that even a wandering space prostitute can make a decent living.Ĭompare this to what we see of uncontrolled space. They have a police force that protects and serves on a galactic scale. They have public heath care ( as evidenced by the Alliance troops escorting medical supplies in the Train Job) and freedom of religion ( Book follows a judeo-christian theology whereas Inara’s religious activities in Serenity seem more in line with theologies like Buddhism). People actually get a say in who governs them, as opposed to the outer rim.
First off, it’s a democracy, as evidenced by the existence of a Parliament. In fact, Alliance space seems pretty awesome. They don’t have Universal Kitten Drowning Day or insist everyone listen to Top 40 radio. From what we see of Alliance controlled space, it doesn’t seem all too PUREST FUCKING EVIL™ to me. Now let’s talk about that system for a minute. Arrest the criminals, and trust the system to bring justice, because that’s the system their society built.

There’s no galactic equivalent of the Serial podcast, through which the Alliance goons can sit around debating the merits of the evidence against Adnan. If they get given a galactic APB on some wanted fugitives, they don’t question the proofs of the case.

Most Alliance people we meet in the series are just soldier boys doing their job. But what evidence are we really presented for this rationale? The justification we’re given to excuse Mal & Co’s flagrant disregard for the laws of civilization are that the Alliance are “bad m’kay”. Because fuck you buddy, you can’t take the sky from me, and if you try, I swear me and my pretty floral bonnet will end you. People who freely lie, cheat, steal and murder their way across the galaxy in a desperate and misguided attempt to remain “free” from Alliance “control”. Mal, Zoe, Wash, Kaylee and Jayne are career criminals, who believe that the rules applying to everyone else in the universe simply don’t apply to them. And worst of all, with the exception of Simon and River, this is a life they CHOOSE. They willingly do business with pimps, organized criminal cartels, corrupt bastards and full-tilt, pants-on-head-crazy sociopaths. You’ve got a collection of ex-soldiers, fugitives, psychotics and ragtags now operating as a mercenary band, paying no attention to laws and regulations that govern civilized areas of space. They’re the kind of people who, if you read about them in your holonews over your morning bowl of Jupiter Loops, you’d thump the table, complain bitterly to your lovebot about the slow collapse of civilization and demand to know WHAT THE FRACK your taxes were paying for.īut I mean, really, THINK about it for a second. I mean they were the straight-up villains. And while, like many of you, I’ve got nothing for lurrrrve for Firefly and the crew of Serenity, I’ve got some bad news, droogs: Mal Reynolds and the crew of Firefly were the fucking bad guys.Īnd I don’t mean in a Loveable Rogue archetype kind of way. I’m just a nerd who likes to spitball about this stuff. So I don’t want anyone thinking I’m a Whedon hater or this comes from a place of anything but love for the dude’s work. I genuinely believe Firefly is the best thing Mr Whedon has ever given us, up against some stiff competition. Were I unwed, I would take my Collector’s Edition Boxed Set in a manly fashion. And I’ll preface this waaaaaaay too long blog post by stressing that I lurrrrrrrve the Firefly series and Serenity movie. This started as an idle tweet a few days back and devolved into a drunken conversation in which me and a buddy both proved we’ve spent waaaaaaaay too much time watching Firefly. Tune in next week when write a 70,000 word thesis about how the rebels in Star Wars were the bad guys in Return of the Jedi only to find out Kevin Smith did that shit back in 1994. And here I was thinking I was being all original and shit.

Update: I’m told there was Cracked vid posted late last year that covered this same topic.
