From Steven Brust's LiveJournal at http://skzbrust.livejournal.com/ :

Quote:
Watched the Firefly stuff again not long ago. If I were to boil down the theme of that show (I can't speeak for the rest of Whedon's work) to a single declarative sentence, it would be this: You can't trust people, but you ought to anyway.

I liked this comment on a comment:

Quote:
I absolutely adore that I'm reading a post about Firefly on Steven Brust's livejournal in which someone quotes Lois McMaster Bujold. *dies*

It's up to 36 comments now, some of them pretty good ones.

For those who don't know who Steven Brust is:

Brust is one of my very favorite writers, one of the few whose new books I always buy, in hardcover. His Vlad Taltos books are not a lot like Firefly, but it's easy to like both; both feature antiheroes, action, and a dash of humor. "The Book of Jhereg" is a good place to start:

Brust has written a Firefly novel -- just because he wanted to -- which very likely will never be published.
