fortune_firefly (fortunes from the TV series "Firefly")
|
|
|
|
This package contains fortunes from the TV series "Firefly", and its
|
|
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.
