Well, with all this talk about FF being the 'anti-Trek'...
It's an accurate description of the nature of the show. What's the problem with that?
and of course Alan Tudyk's smartass remarks...
Which make perfect sense if you pay attention to what he actually says rather than going with a kneejerk reaction. If you're referring to what I think you are, he said the Trek crew were "pussies" because they had replicators and turbolifts and big guns, while Serenity had protein bars and ladders and no guns. He's just saying Trek crews are completely spoiled by comparison, even in the supposedly more primitive time of ENT.
The word "pussies" may have been an unfortunate, attention-grabbing choice, but see past it to what he's actually saying. He's obviously right.
Plus, if you have any sense of Tudyk's personality, you'd know he was just joking around when he said it.
it sometimes feels as if there's a war going on.
The Browncoats don't feel that way. We're just trying to go our way, mostly. There was some comparison to Enterprise----unfavorable for ENT, obviously----since they were on at the same time. But that hardly extends to Trek as a whole.
I'll grant that the people who (mysteriously) don't like Firefly sometimes get defensive, but that's not really our problem.
That being said, I would *love* to see how Browncoats would react to something like Nathan Fillion playing Captain Kirk. The sound of all those jaws hitting the floor at once would shake the roof.![]()

Well, yes, but the Browncoats wouldn't be the shocked ones. We'd be cheering. It's the anti-Firefly people who'd raise a storm if that happened.
