Quote:Originally posted by Mana: I don't know if this means anything, but... I saw something on that promo that aired during X-Files that no one can find on the internet. I watched it this morning, and there is one part where everyone is on the bridge and someone says, "Everyone hold on." I guess they were about to move or go into battle or whatever. I guess that means there's a reason to hold on, so we might have the bumpy ride some people have been talking about.

Quote:Originally posted by nine: So, when the ass-end glows, is that moving to faster-than-light? Coz then there'd be a delay before we saw the glow. the ship would have to arrive and then glow (besides the fact that its impossible). The serenity would churten!

Quote:Originally posted by Haken: It's not just impossible, but one has to wonder why the Serenity's engine even has to glow that way in the first place. From every indication, it suggests a chemical reaction, which poses some very basic problems of its own when used for space travel. It looks cool, but there's just no way to get FTL travel from a chemical reaction no matter how powerful of an inertial dampener (another thing that needs explaining in Firefly) you have.
