The 1960's studio wanted the original Star Trek tv show to be a space western without all the philosophy and thinly concealed politics Gene Roddenberry envisioned. He pretty much won, launching the sophisticated story genres that have graced entertainment since.
Firefly, due to budget constraints, embraced a western motif while presenting strong societal themes. The result is a fantastic production.
Your reaction video is spot on and lots of fun to watch. Thanks.

Hi Dasha,
Aurora borealis for the "Northern lights"
Aurora australis for the "Southern lights"

It's easier to just call them the 'Northern Lights'. Rolling your R's on "aurora" must be terrible.

Nice reaction Dasha! Glad you enjoyed the first episode.
The lights in the sky you were thinking of is the Aurora Borealis.
As others have said. Youāll notice in this show, they mix in a lot of Chinese when speaking. Especially swearing. Which makes sense I guess. With such a huge population on earth, It not a stretch to think that the most common languages to survive in the future are English and Chinese. They also did it as a clever way to get around not being aloud to swear on network television. š
Looking forward to the next episode!
