Week 9: Space Opera

mmmmmm... the space opera, my favorite.  Without realizing it i think i have come to the recent understanding that star wars is more fantasy than it is sci fi, which is the genre it often gets thrown in, but their is nothing scientific about star wars.

I believe most of the themes in star wars are lost on people, and understandably so, its masked by alot of spectacles and visual effects but its the underlying tones of the space opera that make them such a cult hit and a sustainable story.  Its the romance, the revenge the classic tale of good vs evil, family values, lol, all the things that make up the pillars of a space opera, star trek and star wars poses.

On another note i have been an new adapter to Firefly and i couldn't be more upset (actually i probably could) with the lack of show.  I WANT MORE.  Its funny, you grow up without cable, without internet and all you know are the big ones, as you get older you are introduced to new people and hopefully they share the same interests as you, it seems each and every year when i think i've seen it all i just uncover a whole new layer of whatever genre i desire.
