Hello fellow browncoats,

It’s funny but the underlying tone of cannibalizm runs amuck thoughout Firefly and Serenity. I mean for one, there’s the reavers. There’s a cannibal gimmy. But then there’s the idea of one ship preying upon another and another almost like they’re spiders or something. Then there’s ppl preying on other ppl from one moon or planet to another. Look at Whitefall or the place in the Heart of Gold eps.

There’s the Alliance devouring the rights of ppl. The Blue hands chomping up the lives of folk. Magistrate Higgins eating up the hope of ppl. It’s a mad hungry verse out there.

Anybody got any thoughts before I go to supper, Z

I think it just goes to show that just because humans are on top of the food chain doesn't necessarily mean that we are safe from everything. The strongest survive, even 500 years in the future in a different part of space there is always something bigger and more hungry than you are.

REDLAVA,

The big fish in the pond symbolism. The bigger and stronger preying upon the smaller and weaker.

The Hands of Blue turning on the very group of folk that helped to snag River and Simon in the Ariel eps.

The comment Mal makes after he secures the cattle job."Now we're prey for every other band of pirates out there." I know thats not a quote but he said something like that.

I'm glad that you got my point.

Its a good point and id expect Whedon tried to make it an underlining thing you know.

"Love. You can do all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air you
don't love, she'll shake you off sure as a turnin' of worlds. Love keeps her in
the air when she oughtta fall down. Tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens.
Makes her a home." Mal
