Twilight is culture. Just because something's crappy doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to get the references. And actually, Firefly's one of the few respected "I'm not a nerd or into scifi but I still like this," shows. It's almost like Game of Thrones for scifi (but with less blood and titties.)

As much as I hate to admit it, Twilight is indeed culture. So knowing something about twilight might be relevant cultural education. Doesn't mean you have to read the whole book.

But it'd make more sense to read that then it would be to watch all of firefly if we talk purely about "culture education"

I hate to say this but Twilight is immeasurably more important on a cultural level than Firefly will ever be unless it somehow becomes a new hit series.

Why? Same reasons Dark Shadows is more important culturally than That Really Thought Provoking Horror Novel You Read Once. Firefly was just never popular enough. Twilight spawned a new genre of young adult fiction and has had a possible impact on the sexuality of a hell of a lot of young women. Hell, it spawned 50 Shades.

If the OP is writing some kind of paper on early 2000s online fandoms then they should be familiar with Firefly. Otherwise a shortlived tv show that was cancelled a decade ago only requires a wikipedia article and maybe some youtube clips.

Twilight spawned a new genre of young adult fiction

Um, no? Paranormal teen romance has existed long before Twilight entered the scene. That's like saying The Hunger Games spawned a futuristic dystopian genre for young adult fiction. All they do is making the genre popular again.

The fact is that after Twilight, paranormal teen romance got its own section with its own sign in the bookstore. That's a little more tangible than just making something popular.

Fair enough, but don't give credit where it's not due, that's all. Twilight invented a new YA genre? That's just laughable.
