Sci-Fi Channel Picks Up Firefly
An anonymous reader writes "Firefly, a science fiction series that was canceled midway through its first season on Fox, has found a new home on the Sci Fi Channel. Fans of the cult-hit series Firefly will be pleased to learn that the show has been picked up by the Sci Fi Channel--just two months before the release of Serenity, a Universal Pictures film based on the series. Looks like they'll be airing all the ones we've already seen, plus 3 that never got aired the first time around. A bonus - They'll be seen in the correct order."
Dammit, I'm trying to block out the memories of the Earthsea series. It actually made me doubt my memories of how good the original books were, until I went back and checked that it was just the TV series that was truly awful.
I couldn't agree more about B5, Stargate and almost all of Star Trek:Whatever. Wooden acting, corny scripts, dull unoriginal storylines. Good for passing 45 minutes when there's nothing else on, but that's all.
I quite enjoyed the Battlestar Galactica pilots (haven't watched the series yet), but most TV 'Sci-Fi' is terrible.
