This package contains fortunes from the TV series "Firefly", and it's movie
|
||
|
|
"Serenity", by Joss Whedon. The series survived only one season on Fox;
|
||
|
|
the network scheduled a bad timeslot, played the episodes out of order,
|
||
|
|
and in general helped seal its fate. Nonetheless, the series built up a
|
||
|
|
cult following; as DVD sales skyrocketted, Universal decided to sponsor
|
||
|
|
a movie based on the series.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Firefly is often described as a "Space Western". A mix of humor and
|
||
|
|
seriousness, it is sometimes described as "Star Wars" with the Rebellion
|
||
|
|
having been brutally crushed and Han Solo needing a new job. Over 500
|
||
|
|
years in the future, a band of humans terraformed a nearby planetary system
|
||
|
|
with dozens of habitable planets. The most developed planets, toward
|
||
|
|
the core, live in "civilization", and formed the Alliance; the planets
|
||
|
|
on the rim tend to struggle to survive, and launched a failed rebellion
|
||
|
|
against Alliance rule. Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a former "browncoat"
|
||
|
|
(rebel) commander, captains a Firefly-class starship named "Serenity",
|
||
|
|
with a small, mostly loyal crew, taking whatever jobs (legal or otherwise)
|
||
|
|
that they can. Their lives become more complicated when, after taking on
|
||
|
|
passengers for cover, they inadvertently take in a mentally disturbed girl
|
||
|
|
who the Alliance wants more than anything else.
