@ticho @lritter I think you may have taken this in a context I didn't intend. I'm not taking about Firefly's broader legacy, I'm talking about my personal ability to appreciate the show.

@ticho @lritter All readings are valid, but as another non-US person myself, I can't really wrap my head around the idea that US-produced cultural works don't have intrinsic ties to US cultural context... especially in this case where it's documented that the showrunner pitched it as a space western and intentionally drew on depictions of the US civil war (among other things). I thought I'd tooted criticisms of Stargate SG1 from my first watch last year, but I guess I hadn't. I have many!
