Perhaps I am being punished for something I did in the past. Really guys, I'm sorry. Every time I watch a show that is perfect it gets low ratings and gets canceled. Am I cursed? Is it me? If so I apologize, maybe I should just stop watching tv and move to the desert. (hubris much)

No, it happens to all of us. There are competing theories:
1. Those who like things outside the mainstream always like things outside the mainstream, and so are always a minority
2. Things that are interesting are off-message for the MSM, and so they get cancelled for other reasons, ratings are staged with timing/conflicts, but someone is out to get revoutionary content.
3. High production value shows are generally better, and people who appreciate real effort like them, but networks hate them because they cost a lot of money, and so they try to have them killed.
These are some of the ones I hear most often, but whatever the reason, you're certainly not alone. Myself, I can't think that a show has ever been renewed after I started watching it.

Surely not a conscious Firefly shout-out in this week's episode, but I thought it was cool that the codeword amongst King Silas' people for when he was visiting his mistress and illegitimate son was "Serenity".

Specifically, it's that he's "in serenity."
That's not the usual phrasing the emotional state.
