:It might not be the best example, but I wouldn't call this derived content. It's really just speculation. And IMO implausible. Noone left in the Colonial star system knew that the rag tag fleet would make a jump to the [[Prolmar Sector]]. Space is huge. For random other ships meeting up with the Fleet is pretty unlikely. It happens with ''Pegasus'', but that is actually explained in the episode. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 17:02, 26 September 2007 (CDT) | |||

Bad example
The first example of a fanwank given at the bottom of the page is not a fanwank (though the second one certainly it); it is precisely what is described immediately above those examples: Derived content in the form of very basic deductive reasoning "glue". Esepecially in this series, where the writers quite consciously leave large gaps between many episodes, yet in which significant changes have occurred, and simply leave it to the viewer to fill in the obvious elided details.

- It might not be the best example, but I wouldn't call this derived content. It's really just speculation. And IMO implausible. Noone left in the Colonial star system knew that the rag tag fleet would make a jump to the Prolmar Sector. Space is huge. For random other ships meeting up with the Fleet is pretty unlikely.
