The Alliance is much like the Bush Administration- hated for making people safe & happy. The Browncoats are like 60's hippies- just gotta be anti-everything for the sake of it, mindless, directionless rebels without a cause.
Inara was the true hero of Firefly, prosperous & Unification-supporting, until Joss backpedaled & sent her back on Serenity in the movie (what librul trash that was, btw).

It'a all very black & white, just like life.

You just set science back 65 million years. >:(

oh no! i don't wanna be remembered as the guy that set science back...well, more years than science has existed. being remembered as a dinosaur slayer wouldn't be so bad.

but anyway, i've got to figure out a way to cover up my misdeed. more carpet bombing!

I wasn't SAYING everyone knows. You don't have to know about something to be USED.

The Alliance/Blue Sun found something unrelated to rile up the Independents, Because no one except Blue Sun and a few members of Parliament knew about it, and wanted people good and distracted by a WAR so things would STAY that way. So the war was a cover-up, and Miranda is the indirect cause, because it gave someone a reason to either pick a fight or astroturf the browncoats.

The Alliance is a mystery, one which we see very little of. Judging by the general attitude of the Alliance's loyal citizens, they don't seem to really care one way or another what the Alliance does.

Quick Question:

Do any of you think that Mr.Universe was part of the Underground Movement that helped sneak River out of The Academy? Because that is the only way I see why Joss showed both of them in the film. And sort of like in 'V', where the 5TH Column was Resistance Group from inside, do you think the UGM is made up of mostly Alliance
Troopers/Ensigns or just regular folk?

I don't think so, Mr. Universe and the Resistance seem to be pretty much separate plot elements. Mr. Universe's backstory is that he's kind of a loner who's gotten really good at hacking. He hacked a whole lot of money, went to flight school with Wash so he could hack a ship, hacked the grades so he could pass, flew himself off world, and just disappeared. Except apparently for now and then waving at Wash, since Mr. Universe seems to consider Wash his only actual friend, or maybe because he felt guilty about cheating Wash out of graduating top of the class.
