Holy shit. Does this mean the Cylons killed the crew of Serenty? They killed almost everyone else. Say it ain't so.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me... 
EASTER EGGS, check out the links.

OONJERAH
My nephew came for a visit last month.
He'd seen Serenity & liked it. Never saw Firefly.
So I showed him Firefly.
I done good. I done right.
Can't stop the signal.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
Part of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.

Firefly's Serenity Was Designed To Be The Opposite Of A Star Trek Ship
Based on the short-lived but incredibly beloved cult TV series "Firefly," Joss Whedon's 2005 film "Serenity" is saddled with pretty complicated mythology. Set in the 26th century, a distant solar system has been largely terraformed, and those living on the planets closest to the sun live in bliss under an all-powerful organization called the Alliance. A viewer will get no points for guessing that the Alliance isn't entirely good, and that there is a great deal of corruption at play. Also, crime and poverty still exist on some of the solar system's outer worlds, to the point where they look a lot like the Wild West, with characters on horseback and high-tech trains that speed through dusty mesas.

Also, crime and poverty still exist on some of the solar system's outer worlds, to the point where they look a lot like the Wild West, with characters on horseback and high-tech trains that speed through dusty mesas.
The main characters of "Serenity" are the brown-coated crew members of the title ship, a craft populated by former Rebels and malcontents who have turned to smuggling to survive. Fans of "Firefly" will recall several descriptions of the Serenity as a clunky-but-functional craft that is especially conducive to smuggling, as it has myriad secret compartments built into its structure. It has two outsize jet engines on either side, is small enough to soar around in a planet's atmosphere, and its pilot sits in a beak-like, bird's head-shaped compartment.
The interior of the Serenity is uncomfortable, angular, and metallic spaces lined with wrought iron stairways and catwalks. The mess hall is cramped, and only one person has inhabitable-looking quarters.
Whedon and co-author Abbie Bernstein explained in their 2006 book "Firefly: The Official Companion" that the Serenity was designed to be more utilitarian than comfortable, specifically to evoke an Old West covered wagon. Unlike the ships on "Star Trek," which are slick, bright, technological marvels, the Serenity was essentially a big rig.
The Anti-Enterprise
For Whedon, it was crucial that the Serenity remain small. Production designer Carey Meyer helped come up with the layout of the ship, and Whedon felt that having too many spaces inside of it would be antithetical to the outsider nature of the characters. Indeed, when one thinks of, say, the U.S.S. Enterprise-D from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" -- the model Whedon was clearly and deliberately deviating from -- one doesn't necessarily have a good plan for getting around its many, many hallways and research centers. Over a thousand people live on board that ship. If a Trekkie were to project themselves onto the Enterprise-D, they would have to rely on the ship's computers just to find their way back to their quarters or to one of the ship's many relaxed, recreational areas.
Whedon wanted viewers to see the Serenity, and feel like they could move around its cramped interiors, no maps required.
"The design of the ship is something that I worked on very hard and then Carey Meyer worked on very hard. To me, the design
