41* The series gets a nod in ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' when one of the characters says "gorram." A bit of FridgeLogic when you consider that ''Darths and Droids'' is set in an AlternateUniverse where the ''Franchise/StarWars'' films never happened, considering the heavy influence the films had on the genre which would have even affected ''Firefly''.
