And when you know that the writer isn't afraid to kill characters off, it makes for a whole lot more tension. If you know that the main characters are going to survive, then you stop caring and worrying for them. Usually, on Stargate, it's the minor one-off characters that I'm worried about, since there's no guarentee that they're going to live to the end of the show. The main characters will always survive no matter how insurmountable the odds. A similar effect has been achieved in SG by the use of ascension and healing tech to bring dead characters back to life and lessen the impact of death.

But IMO having a prequel based on the ship would be pointless, because you know that no matter what, they are always going to make it through, and everyone gets to survive. Where's the adventure in that?Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

^ A couple of months at most I would imagine. I believe that there are 5 months between "Bushwhacked" and the movie based on quotes from Inara and Mal.Equality is not a concept.
