Firefly is not liberal. Neither was Starship troopers (even though the film was a far cry from a wonderful book). Nor was Babylon 5. Oh, and neither was either version of BSG.

I loved the recent version of BSG, but the New Caprica storyline with its "insurgents" and suicide bombings, made my eyes roll.

No, B5 was liberal in a lot ways. For example, they went off the deep end for “Diversity.” I think they also supported their unions.

Indeed. Firefly was profoundly libertarian. And Heinlein was profoundly libertarian as well. I'm listening to the audio version of Starship Troopers right now. I love RAH's politics. Couldn't get into B5, and BSG was too dark to make me think about anything "political".
