Science Channel Buys Rights To Firefly

Posted by samzenpus on from the welcome-back dept.

citking writes "The Science Channel has purchased the rights to Firefly and plans to air all episodes in order and in high definition. In addition, physicist Dr. Michio Kaku will appear to explain the theoretical science behind the show's sci-fi concepts. There's a brief interview in the article as well with Nathan Fillion, who chimes in with his thoughts on Firefly and playing Mal."

    Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen after the movie wrapped up the story line and killed off major characters.

    I'm prepared to pretend the movie never happened if it mean more episodes. Who's with me?!

    What movie?

    I'm not sure what universe you're in, but in this universe Sliders was the best.

    Get a grip. Nothing has ever come close to Mork and Mindy.
