Reality: Where did my weekend go?
Dead Raccoons on Road: 2
Live Turkeys in Parking Lot: 0
8 A.M. Integration Meetings Avoided: We still have meetings??
So I guess I dedicated this weekend to a hard core Firefly-a-thon. This series is a great example of decent story and characters you can relate to. The theme itself, that of a the Space Cowboy was done in Star Wars to some extent. I also saw a few parallels to Cowboy Bebop. Bebop was a cartoon a few years back done in japan where a group of ragtag bounty hunters did odd jobs to stay fed while patrolling the border colonies of the solar system. The scenes were out of a western. Firefly made me feel like I was watching a live version of it at times. I really gives the impression of how society can degrade depending on the distance of the home government. I sometimes think this is how the universe will be in the end. A high tech center and a decaying outer rim where progress becomes regress. This is where I always wanted to be since I was young. Before you rush off and see Serenity, go rent the DVD, it's 15 episodes. I think you'll be pleased. You can become a fan with a lot less effort than it takes for Farscape and it's less obscure than SPACE:Above and Beyond or Babylon 5.

Earth above and Beyond? Do you mean Space: Above and Beyond? That was my favorite show back in the day! Too bad it was cancelled. It was so dark and grim, like Vietnam in space. top
