I'm beginning to think I should watch Firefly and see Serenity.

Firefly Chinese Pinyinary.

Although I do hear from julianyap and monkeygod that their accents suck. No doubt.

The little bits of Chinese dialogue just seemed like the writers way of letting you know that China had become a larger part of the cultural landscape in the future and bits of the idiom had been absorbed into the language.

This is a much better argument than the one I've heard: that the language drifted in 500 years and that's the accent that exists then.

Moreover, your comment is much funnier.
