+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.
