I have a complicated relationship with my enjoyment of Firefly. I have loved/continue to love the show, but I can also see that it has some elements that accepted uncritically and explored as little as they were in the show feel like problematic seeds - the pitch of "confederate solider who doesn't believe he lost the war leads a band of social outcasts under the radar of the status quo until it's time for them to step up and change the world" lands a little differently today than 24 years ago.
