Firefly was much too antigov and morally absolutist for the media. Even Fox could not tolerate the quality, the prose, the characterizations and the powerful religious message of this amazing series.

I love Firefly! A good friend recommended it to me as "Confederate veterans in space." The back story makes the series parallel the wild West in 1871 where several characters were veterans on the losing (Independence) side of a rebellion. Joss Whedon took that background and made an unabashed Western set 500 years in the future in space.

But.. but... I liked the moral absolutism... and the characters were pretty cool too.
