Re Canada, I note that Kaylee and Mal are Canadians. Lovely but often chilly is probably an apt description.
I was exposed to Heinlein in my junior high and high school years, so was first influenced by his juvenile novels, which I still think are the best, as well as the future history series.
I also read Herbert, though that was somewhat later, and of course read Stranger in my college days.
Firefly caught me entirely by surprise, as current science fiction is usually so derivative. Whedon is truly a brilliant fellow. My conclusion - Firefly was too good for TV. It proves the lowest common denominator hypothesis.
