Dead on comparison of Firefly vs. Star Trek...although I give ST a lot of leeway for nostalgia purposes.;-)
How big a feat of Jossian irony is it that the series finale of Firefly is going to be the _pilot_?! Very sad, but amusing in a twisted sort of way.
Spirit Ring is often seen, by fans, as Bujold's weakest work. Not bad, but certainly not up to what she's written since. Have you tried 'Curse of Chalion', her other fantasy novel, yet? Totally different than Spirit Ring and really, really good. Hugo nominee this year too. Definitely Vorkosigan-caliber material.
