I mean it still has some moments of exposition you could call corny but they're pretty artful compared to "As you know, Bob" sci-fi Like a wealth of exposition about "Star Wars cloaking tech" comes from just the one incredulous line "No ship that small has a cloaking device!"

I'm surprised people don't use the Dr. Horrible conceit to justify "As you know, Bob" exposition more often

Right, Card specifically called out Star Wars opening crawls as obnoxious but also noted they’re more about saying what the world is like the way “two days before the beach landing at Normandy” would be in a story set IRL, it’s explaining politics, not tech
-
I’m sure Card was quite vindicated by Rogue One if he hasn’t convinced himself to boycott Disney yet

My favourite example of this is that even the Firefly writers didn't know whether Firefly was interplanetary or interstellar. It's just too familiar to the crew to come up in conversation.

Of course Jayne wouldn't understand the difference.
