I watched just over half the episode on friday, and I think I've watched
one or two epidoses a few weeks ago.

I can't say that it made a 'fan' out of me.  I'd still take Enterprise over
this show anytime.  However, I still love the concept, though not some of
the details.

Watching the show is a good way to pass an hour but I don't think I will
ever follow it.  I don't feel anything for the characters at all, unlike
a few of the characters on Enterprise.  I'd actually rather watch
Stargate SG-1 over Firefly.  However, the opening credits are brilliant
and beautiful.

artifacts doesn't jive with the 500 years in the future story line.  Take a
look at how Blade Runner extrapolated modern ideas into the near future and
you can see that this show misses when trying to add a few centuries to the
timeline.

This is one of my biggest nitpicks with the show as well.  The chain
hoists in the cargo bay(?) really bother me, although I can see why they
are there.
