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. + +All of the quotes in this package are copyrighted by Fox Broadcasting +Corporation and Universal Pictures. Authorship of the quotes is by Tim +Minear, Joss Whedon, Ben Edulund, Jane Esperson, Drew Z. Greenberg, Jose +Molina, Cheryl Cain, and Brent Matthews. + |
