Has anyone else noticed that pre-contact Halo bears a striking resemblance to Firefly?
Yeah, I noticed that after I first saw Serenity. God I love that movie, and Firefly is one of the best liveaction shows ever created.
Oh so true.
Halo post-contact is still rather similar if you ask me.
It's true, but I noticed that the Insurrection in Halo was based on the same basic premise as the Civil War in Firefly. Totalitarian government created by a united Earth is rebelled against by a coalition from the outer colonies.

Is it true Firefly takes place all in one solar system?
Yes it is. Firefly takes place in one giant solar system. That was done (probably) to get around the problems caused by relativity. Halo has multiple dimensions, Firefly just doesn't go FTL.
Oh yes, the Insurrectionist period in Halo definitely bears some strong resemblance to the war between the Alliance and the Brown Coats in Firefly/Serenity, technology is pretty similar too, at least somewhat, as bullets seem to still be a common ammunition for weapons, and lasers seem more of a rarity, at least in the Outer Planets.
They do seem to have some sort of "warpspeed" like thing though, probably not FTL travel, but it would seem to be some sort of speed boost for getting around the solar system more quickly.
