The Top Ten Reasons Firefly/Serenity Is Better Than Star Trek

The Chef

10. When the Enterprise breaks down, it's because they run into a weird cosmic anomaly or because an alien life form is feeding off the power. When Serenity breaks down, it's because the damn ship is old and held together with duct tape and baling twine.

9. Scotty, Geordi, and O'Brien are a lot harder on the eyes than Kaylee is, and engines don't make them...libidinous.

8. When confronting an opponent, Kirk overacts. When confronting an opponent, Picard tries to negotiate. When confronting an opponent, Mal just shoots them.

"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox Network!"

6. Nobody ever ran an enemy through the Enterprise's warp nacelle.

5. Nobody in the 'Verse knows what a Prime Directive is.

4. The Enterprise is too politically correct to have a hooker on board. And no, Lwaxana Troi doesn’t count.

3. Unlike Bashir, Simon didn’t have to get his genes resequenced to be a genius.

2. Nobody ever named a phaser rifle, nor offered to trade one for a woman.

1. Serenity's resident psychic is also a brainwashed batshit-crazy government-trained killer girl. That automatically trumps all the Vulcans and Betazoids in the galaxy.

Just because money isn't involved doesn't mean you aren't a whore.

True, but there's a difference between being a whore and being a professional.

She certainly wasn't an amateur.

Amateur?

There is also a difference between being a professional and being an experienced amateur.
