I believe we are the only sentient beings in the universe, and I believe that 500 years from now, we will still be the only sentient beings around. …… - Joss Whedon

My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer... and there are flying cars.

We’re talking about a malevolent force, We’re talking about a bad actor in both senses.

I think there's a lot of people out there who say we must not have horror in any form, we must not say scary things to children because it will make them evil and disturbed... That offends me deeply, because the world is a scary and horrifying place, and everyone's going to get old and die, if they're that lucky. To set children up to think that everything is sunshine and roses is doing them a great disservice. Children need horror because there are things they don't understand. It helps them to codify it if it is mythologized, if it's put into the context of a story, whether the story has a happy ending or not. If it scares them and shows them a little bit of the dark side of the world that is there and always will be, it's helping them out when they have to face it as adults.
