stellarwind | You Can't Take the Sky From Me.

Well, I was checking out the SadGeezer's guide to Babylon 5 again, and found out about a sci-fi series i've never heard of before, named "Firefly". I saw the introduction from it, and developed quite a liking to the theme song, Ballad of Serenity. The title of this entry is part of the lyrics.

The series itself looks very interesting. Science fiction meets the wild west, heh heh. I quote the intro's narrative on it, and the lyrics to the song.

"After the earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terraformed and colonized. The central planets formed 'The Alliance', And decided all planets must join under their rule.

...There was some disagreement on that point.

After the war, many of the independents who have fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from alliance control. Out here, people struggle to get by with the most basic technologies. A ship would bring you work. A gun would help you keep it.

A captain's goal was simple. Find a crew, find a job. Keep flying.

(End narrative, cue theme song)

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't coming back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me

There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
You can't take the sky from me."

Apparantly it was a rather short lived series that never actually aired by FOX, although they're planning to release it on DVD. I wish I could see it...

Anyway! back to things that were released, I started writing a horribly strange crossover of The Deadlock: Planetary Conquest saga and the StarCraft Saga. Yup. o_O (SC Terrans meet DeadLock humans would DEFINITELY be a funny scene...)

And now I'm off, for the moment. ^^;
