I'm glad you liked it!
I loved Firefly. To me it has alot of Battlestar Galactica's old chemistry. You got a small core of people who really are becoming a family like unit. They are out there in a raggity ship.
The captain, Malcom reynolds reminds me of Apollo. Inara is Cassiopia the solicetor. Zoe is Boomer.
And yes, Zoic did the effects for Firefly. Infact there is a shot in the mini where you can see Firefly.
