I could never get into Firefly, firstly because Fox did the "Dangerous new show shuffle" with it, and I don't get much time to watch broadcast TV (kinda work nights), and secondly the 'cowboys in space' seemed a might played out.
Had just come out of catching the end of Buffy, so there was Nathan overload.
Hope that I can enjoy the book with the rudimentary knowledge of the Firefly universe that I possess.
As for NuBSG, I can see the appeal, and all the easily ported ethical/political/social dilemmas are intriguing. However, social commentary aside, either I missed way too much of the show or I'm dumb, but what in the world is with robots building protein-based robots that are robots but no they're clones no but wait they're robots with wifi brains and downloadable neural networks.
I like SF to explain themselves. Some friends claim that such details are secondary. In a soap opera, maybe. In a Sci-Fi show with robots? Not so much.
