Sci-Fi Channel is running Serenity three times in upcoming weeks. The first is in just three days, Saturday June 13, at 6:30pm EDT. It will also be on Thursday July 23 at 6:30pm, and again Saturday August 1 at 4:30pm.

I linked this to Whedonesque, Easygordon, with a suggestion that those who can't go to a CSTS screening could throw a Shindig, watch the Serenity Airing(s), and send cashy-money to CSTS or Equality Now.

Watching the movie now, I find it to be remarkably like the series. So i started wondering about all the problems they have, and it occurred to me that what they need is help with those problems and with their lives in general by people of a superior culture. I think that may be what Joss Whedon has in mind.

they didn't need help from people with a superior culture... they needed/wanted to be left alone to find their own place in the "world"... without the meddling of people from a "superior culture"...

I agree. It was that "superior" culture that created most of the problems in the 'verse in the first place, from the war against the outer planets to the creation of the Reavers. No one needs that kind of help.

In an interview several years ago, Joss spoke about "The right to be wrong".
The backward, "uncivilized" outer planets had a right to be just as they were,
provided it was their choice to do so. That is one of the minor themes of the
Sereniverse, and an interesting one, IMO.

I know they don't want help from a superior culture, I was just kidding.

But a forum discussion could be something like a superior culture.
