Maybe it was their decontamination chamber?
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

If so, and it's rigged to use biological warfare on the occupants, then the builders must share my opinion of how boringly exploitative the decontamination scenes are.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Admittedly I haven't seen a decon scene in a while, but when I did, they were my second favourite part of the show (Porthos takes #1).

My objections were chiefly to how ham-fistedly they threw T'Pol and Tripp together like bickering romantic leads who only needed to be trapped in an elevator to realize that they're soulmates. Not opposed to the show putting a lot of skin on display in general.
Maybe they'd win me over if they had Phlox seal Tripp in against his protests and showed Reed spritzing with one of those breath-freshener atomizers in the background.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
but in a "Wow, it actually doesn't suck" way.
They switched out showrunners. There was a decent portion of last season where it didn't suck either.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I was aware of this. I'm glad it made a difference.

It must have lost me before it got to that portion. I watched the first two seasons faithfully, if not contentedly, but I just couldn't take anymore by about 15 minutes in to the episode where the crew starts turning into monsters on some planet. I turned it off and never looked back. By sheer luck I managed to happen upon the season finale last year and it was alright, aside from the cheesy running slow-motion from explosions sequence. When I heard there was a new showrunner I figured I'd give it another shot and have been pleasently surprised so far.

All is well that ends in pizza.
It started getting better when Captain Archer started throwing bad guys into airlocks to get them to cooperate.

I wonder where he picked up that trick from?

Yeah, lots of suspicion from the Firefly community.
They still have sound in space and traditional camera work, tho.
