WRT Firefly\'s terraforming, I\'d have to question its validity based simply on the fact that we don\'t know how extensive the terraforming really was or how much work they had to do to the planets (for all we know, the planets are mostly almost Earth-like and needed only some adjustments to make them livable). Let alone their actual tech base; we get the barest glimpse of the technology of the setting, and that through the eyes of a band of penniless outlaws working on the outer fringes of society - and they still have access to an engine capable of generating nuclear-grade explosions and engage in CasualInterplanetaryTravel. I\'d say we have too little information to reach a conclusion at this point.

As for why they didn\\\'t repair Earth, the specific phrasing used was that it was \\\"used up\\\" which indicates that most of the natural resources were expended already, so there\\\'s no point to repairing the atmospheric damage anyway.

Heartwarming is a YMMV page. The original person who added it has just as valid an opinion as you do. You\'ll need to provide a better reason why it should be removed than what effectively amounts to your personal opinion on it.
