THE 'VERSE.... CAN YOU MAP IT?
Monday, November 20, 2006 2:09:59 AM
There is some controversy with the 'Verse. That is, what is is? How is it organized? Is is a single solar system with one star at it's center, or a solar system with several stars in it?
One of the reasons for this controversy is an image presented in the movie, 'Serenity'. Sometimes referred to as the 'Teacher's map'
This shows a single star with about nineteen planets in orbit. But later in the movie, we see this...
Wash's map
If we look closer, and compare this to the map presented in the 'Serenity Official Visual Companion', we can see Wash's map is similar to that...
The map from the Serenity Official Visual Companion is this:
So we are seemingly presented with a dilemma. Is the 'Verse a single-star solar system, or a multiple-star solar system?
I tend to assimilate all of the available data and deduce a simple conclusion. The teacher's map is a map of the core planets, and does not include the border worlds. This take resolves any 'conflicts' of information, and includes all possible views.
Joss Whedon himself even suggests that there are multiple stars in this solar system. This is supported by the shooting script presented in 'Serenity: The Official Visual Companion' (page 113) which describes the map in a scene from one of River's flashbacks, as follows: "Slowly she looks down at her desk. On it is the solar system, glowing lines connecting all the stars and planets."
