Speaking of Pratchett...  He could fall into that catergory.  Most of
his work could easily be described as (is) satire.  There are plots that
are based off things from television and movies though off hand I can't
remember which stuff... but I know it was brought up on a TP mailing
list I belong to.

"Babylon 5 was last of the Babylon stations. There would never be
another. It changed the future and it changed us. It taught us that we
have to create the future or others will do it for us. It taught us
that we have to care for one other, because if we don't, who will? And
that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely of places.
Mostly though, I think it gave us hope that there can always be new
beginnings, even for people like us." - Susan Ivanova
