Dollhouse as an ancestor of Firefly?

[author_by_night]

A user on a Dollhouse community suggested that if you skirted around a few small things, Dollhouse could be seen as a prequel to Fireflyverse. Ironically enough, I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

 

So, Dollhouse watchers: is it just us?

(Spoilers in the comments, obviously.)

Cool idea!

I like what everyone here is saying about the technological regression/avoidance. Plus, there is the Chinese thing.

In Epitaph One, didn't they imply several times that it was the Chinese who first used the mind-wiping tech as a weapon of mass destruction? So if the Chinese harnessed that powerful tech, and the Americans destroyed it, wouldn't that leave China and America as the last great superpowers?

That's why everyone lives as frontier cowboys and cusses in Chinese!
