“People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.”
Joss Whedon

Jean Baudrillard
“Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things.”
Jean Baudrillard
