Hero's dads licence plate was cool, but if you want blink an you miss it geek goodness. In the BSG mini Series just before you are introduced to Loura Roslin in the the sky scape above Caprica city for a second or two you can make out a Firefly coming into land.

Interconnected Sci Fi universes have been home for many great or at least classic stories. Issac Asimov Had a future history that started in 1999ad with iRobot and streached some where past the 50000 year mark with foundatioin series. Sigler may never write that many books but the will be more interesting reads, blood and guts do hold my attention so much better then cold logic.
