It is small and might blow away, but it feels too familiar to me. I shouldn’t take any risks. I turn myself over and try to push it away. It is so very early in the morning. I simply cannot bring myself to get up. I will live to regret this. Two hours later I awake. The small cloud is bigger now, the tip of it touching the sun. I instinctively know I have missed my window of opportunity to dispel it, but I shake ...

Every June 16, the day fans of novelist James Joyce celebrate “Bloomsday” –the fictional date when Leopold Bloom wandered around Dublin in Joyce’s most famous novel, Ulysses. Joyce never wrote science fiction, but he wrote some gorgeous descriptions of the cosmos. We find inspiration in all corners of reality—including classic literature with a powerful voice....

Collection: To Battle The HordeShare| Archive To Battle The Horde “What do we die for, if not family, friends and freedom? We have fled from a crude reality, yet fate and war chase us, shake us like winter winds bully a wooden house. So let us fight evil with bravery, oblivion with willpower, doom to our very last breath: we have risen together, and together we fall.

The space-western comedy-drama featuring a renegade crew of misfits who raided to the ends of the universe in their spaceship, Serenity, and called it an honest day’s work, was quick to steal many a viewer’s heart.

Creator Joss Whedon drew inspiration from many sources for the show. Inspiration for the Firefly world was even found in Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize-winning American Civil War novel, The Killer Angels. There were many quirks built into this new world, one of which was the introduction of a fusion of Western and East Asian culture and the use of the Chinese language along with made up “shiny” slang to bypass all those "gorram" censors.

The character of Mal was heavily influenced by none other than Han Solo from Star Wars and if you look closely you are sure to see a miniature Han Solo encased in carbonite in the background scenes of every episode.

Considered by many as one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time, the outpouring of love continues through the continual stream of fan art dedicated to both the show and it’s wrap up movie, Serenity.
