To be honest, I would've preferred Firefly to stay around because of its greater scope for stories. BSG will eventually have to do drastic changes, which is always very risky.
Also, of course, Firefly was much slashier than BSG has been so far.
Heehee! If you like your definitions rigid, yes. We're talking sex vs. gender, and how much one enjoys subverting the definitions of both. People called Buffy/Spike slashy back in the day. John/Aeryn? Queer, bay-beh. Likewise, on matters of gender, power and radical feminist binaries, Battlestar Galactica is shaping up subversive as hell.
Well, I like to be able to use different words for different things and it gets tiresome to have to start using new words for old concepts every couple of years.
But anyway. If "slash" now only means "sex", which word do you propose we use for what "slash" used to mean?

I'd rather have Firefly back, though. ::bawl:: TV without Joss!humour is a sad, sad, dusty landscape.
