Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

At some point a decade or two ago I just got hopelessly confused about which Brust titles I had read and which I hadn't and just kind of hit pause on him. Still telling myself I will figure it out someday and resume.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

No spoilers I'm only on page 110 but I'm just wondering if we know whether anyone has adapted the plot of this Brust novel into a Mission for the Firefly board game. I think it could be a lot of fun.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Expanse s6e6 had a nice Firefly style crew-gathered-at-the-dining-table scene.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was watching a YouTube video of some scientist-types in a deep-sea vehicle. They cane across some fancy cephalopods and kept saying, "shiny ... shiny". sigh ...

All is well that ends in pizza.

Over the years Firefly reactors are keeping the show flying.

On YouTube is a film student who five months ago was convinced to watch and react to Firefly and Serenity. It appears she hit every major emotional indicator including "Why did they cancel this???"
