The show in some ways feels like a western, except for the space travel and the hi tech weapons.

My 17-year old daughter, who is a fan, heard from a documentary that a number of viewers have trouble reconciling spaceships and horses.

From the mouth of babes, "What, do they think horses are going to disappear at some point in the future?"

I suppose the typical scifi genre DOES imply such things, as other shows set in the future tend to be either sterile and/or bleak.

According to Firefly, when mankind settled the new solar system, the wealthy built plush cities on the core planets, but the poorer settlers were dumped on the outer planets with "a hatchet, a blanket and maybe a herd".

Makes sense to me...the Final Frontier looks like the American frontier.

And economic classes endure.
