Hey did you guys know that there was a Firefly Wiki? Might be helpful to those of you just getting into the series.
So I’m reading one of my webcomics, Real Life, this morning and guess what I run across..
Orson Scott Card reviews Serenity. Yeah – the dude who wrote Ender’s Game, Ender’s Shadow, and a whole bunch of other books you should have read. (I’m still partial to “Pastwatch", myself.) Card is, in my estimation, one of the foremost authorities on Sci-Fi, and the things he has to say about Serenity are eye-opening. DAMN. 🙂 Kind of made me sit here smiling the whole time. So, that’s sexy.
I liked the article. It’s nice to see an author’s take on a movie, as they’ll have a totally different approach on how to deconstruct it.
Great article. I passed the link on to my mom, who was trying to understand the appeal of Firefly.
That’s certainly an interesting concept. I think what O is saying is that it’s as much about the writing as it is the vision of the director. In this case, it’s the same person. OSC could tap J to help him put together a screenplay though.. assuming that he’d even want to.
