− | + | {{w|Firefly (TV series)|Firefly}} was a television series aired by FOX in 2002 that got cancelled mid-way through, but has a large fan base nowadays (for a more comprehensive explanation, see the Wikipedia page). The star of the show was Captain Malcolm (or Mal) Reynolds, played by {{w|Nathan Fillion}}. Other members of his crew were Kaylee (played by {{w|Jewel Staite}}) the ship's mechanic, Inara Serra (played by {{w|Morena Baccarin}}) was a Companion (or, as Mal would say: whore) that helped ''Serenity'' (the spaceship) gain a landing on many planets that otherwise would have nothing to do with Mal. River Tam (played by {{w|Summer Glau}}) was the seemingly crazy younger sister of Dr. Simon Tam (played by {{w|Sean Maher}}), and due to her latent psionic powers and the damage from the experiments she had undergone, she was known for making odd, out-of-context statements. | |

(Buy a few RC models ({{w|Radio-controlled model}}) to play with friends and inevitably this will happen. Where two controllers broadcast on the same frequency, so the two models are confused by the signals they receive.) |
− | + | {{w|Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles}} was a television series aired by FOX from 2008-09. Summer Glau played the role of Cameron, a Terminator; Cameron was played in a distinctly "strange" manner as a humanoid robot who finds much about humanity puzzling. Combined with her role as River Tam, the joke is that it wasn't Summer's characters who were eccentric, but that Summer Glau ''herself'' is actually just as strange and eccentric as she is shown to be on screen. | |
