Firefly Reborn as Online Universe
Like Capt. Mal Reynolds stumbling in after a bar fight, the short-lived but much beloved sci-fi series Firefly will soon make an unexpected return, not as a TV show, but as a massively multiplayer online game. Now that's shiny. Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, plans to announce Friday morning that it's struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online. The "Browncoats," as Firefly's most devoted fans are known, have been campaigning to bring the show back almost since the moment it was canceled in late 2002.

Among them were Jane, Julian and Victoria Ormsby-Gore, the older children of David Harlech, who had been British ambassador to Washington during the Kennedy era. Alice was their little sister. She had an enigmatic smile and an infectious giggle. I thought she was astonishing, but though I was very taken with her it never occurred to me then that anything could come from it. The age gap seemed enormous – I was 24 – and she seemed very fragile and slightly other-worldly. David Mlinaric, the interior designer who had been working on Hurtwood for me, brought her down to the house. She asked me to go to a party in London with her, which kind of surprised me. I went and she ignored me all evening. For some reason, in spite of myself, for we didn’t seem remotely compatible, I found her compelling.
