"On Earth-That-Was, the two ruling powers were once known as America and China. And pot was totally legal, though I probably won't stress that. In fact, forget I said it."
-Joss Whedon, Serenity: The Official Visual Companion, A Brief History of the Universe
circa 2507A.D.

"I never thought much about pop culture's place in the Firefly universe, but the idea of the media is something that you're going to run into when you're dealing with an oppressive regime like the Alliance. Freedom of Speech doesn't really exist in the 'verse, and you have to assume that whatever passes for the media is just a tool of the government."
-Jose Molina, Firefly writer of "Ariel" and "Trash" and Firefly: Still Flying.

The Karate Kid remake with Will Smith's son and Jackie Chan wasn't as good as the original, but I still enjoyed it. Had some interesting new elements including filming on location in China.
