I still stick to my theory that ratings drive the depravity train. I have not watched this show so I can't really say if it's sucks or not, but all I hear is complaints which usually means poorly written episodes. The producers probably can't figure out why the ratings disappointment so make the episodes "edgier". It's doubly sad when you think of all the well written shows that didn't get edgier and were cancelled. If only Inara had had a wardrobe malfunction or River and Kaylee had a trist every now and then. Season 15! I'll be in my bunk.
