while we are discussing this show... can someone explain why they curse in chinese? It's probably my least favorite aspect of the show. It always feels super forced and.. well.. stupid..

They curse in English as well, and I recall that they use Chinese for more than cursing.

It's to create a fantasy world that is like ours but also not like ours. A logistical explanation could be that in the future, Earth's languages are almost entirely English and Chinese. Battlestar Galactica tried something like this, but failed miserably since 14 year olds make awful writers

Also, WRT it being a B-film. I wouldn't call it that, but partly because I call nothing B-rated. Take a look at the original Star Wars. Those are about 5x more B-rated than Firefly, yet we love them, and the B-ratedness is honestly part of why we love them.
