13.37 > Games > fortune_firefly (2.1.1)

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.
