Anyone been watching this show on FOX? It for some reason reminds me
of Free Cal-Tex , odd isn't it...)
A little background:
Set 500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war,
FIREFLY
tells the tale
of Serenity, a small transport spaceship without a homeport. Captain
Malcolm
("Mal")
Reynolds commands Serenity for legitimate transport and salvage runs, as
well as
more "entrepreneurial" endeavors.
On Serenity, crew and passengers live together in close quarters as they
shuttle between
the Alliance-governed galaxy and the border planets that delineate the
new
frontier. The
crew undertakes almost any job -- legal or not -- to stay afloat and put
bread on the table.
Each of the passengers has his or her own motivation for being on board
-
some honorable,
some more questionable. All have unique pasts and different reasons for
wanting to get to
their destination.
