Point taken, especially after properly reading your first post on the topic. I'm just not sure how much hard sci-fi you could fit into Firefly, let alone Serenity. I think you'd run the risk of exciting exobiology fans at the expense of plot/dialogue/acting fans. Nobody watches Firefly purely for the great physics, right?

The quote (fact) I find more credible than the non-sentient-ape-gone-wrong-thing (speculation). Wasn't meaning to dampen speculation, but I like the "no aliens" thing. The closest we get to mental wacky is Objects in Space (River's a ship! Er, no, she's not. Ha!) and I think the cow fetus exhibit is the alien wacky equivalent. I speculate.
