Not being a writer, I can't respond to much of this, but I am glad you wrote it. I did have a whole, poorly-constructed, glaringly stupid, lengthy comment written about how our differences should be celebrated every bit as much as our similarities, but I had to give up when I realized I had talked myself into idiocy. (We Who Are Not Writers should know better than to try some things.)
But I'm right there with you on the Firefly/Serenity confusion. And I will be hoping, along with you, that the writers of fictional characters keep pushing the envelope, to help us all see farther than our own lives.
