Coqui1219 Firefly there are too many moments. I think I have a favorite moment in each episode. Serenity, it has to be the "I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers wern't run on batteries" scene.

Coqui1219 I don't think there is anything wrong with it. There does need to be a trained professional present (yes, this includes midwives). There also needs to be some contingency plan incase something goes wrong.
