Vorige week is op de Amerikaanse TV zender Syfy de TV serie Defiance begonnen en deze is echt fookin a. Maar de echte science fiction fans zien natuurlijk de grote overeenkomsten met Josh Weddon's legendarische Firefly. Daarom heeft de website Topless Robot nu deze lijst gemaakt met vijf redenen waarom deze shows op elkaar lijken en vier redenen waarom ze dit moeten volhouden en verbeteren.

4. The Hooker with a Heart of Gold

While searching for a job, Nolan finds instant sparkage with Kenya (Mia Kirshner), owner of the Need/Want, Defiance's go-to bar/brothel/gambling parlor. She's tough, smart, persuasive and a well regarded member of the community. Kenya may not be as highly revered as Firefly's Inara (Morena Baccarin), the high-class courtesan known as a Companion, who travels with the Serenity crew and confers an air of respectability on the vessel with her mere presence. But, like Inara, Kenya is a kind-hearted soul who genuinely cares for people and goes the extra mile to help out. While Mal and Inara shared an unrequited attraction, however, Kenya and Nolan dive into bed about 5.2 seconds after he comes up with her fee. She enjoys him so much, she almost feels bad about charging him. Almost.
