I'm just curious about the pretty people part.
Every single person on TV or in the movies is pretty. Even the ugly ones are only "Hollywood" ugly, I.E. just less pretty. Those are usually striking in some way, or look cool, or both (Danny Trejo, Edward James Olmos, I'm lookin' at you two).
I'm not sure how it differentiates Firefly from any other show ever made. Ah, well.
I liked the ending to BSG because it referenced the old series. That gave my nostalgia gland a big kick.
