Are there any other fans of the late, lamented Sci-Fi series "Firefly" hanging around the Flutherverse here?

Did you know that theyre starting to re-run it on the Science Channel?

And, no, I don’t mean the Sci-Fi Channel (which is pretty much filled with mostly useless schlock since the new penny-pinching regime took over and canceled Farscape several years ago.)

But channel #258 (The Science Channel) has apparently seen the light.

It may be a different number on other systems (we have ATT) but if The Science Channel is part of your cable package, Firefly fans are in luck.

I discovered this quite by happy accident and the first three episodes are scheduled to air between 3–5 AM on Tues 3/8 EST. (or as those of us who are of the night-owl species would call it “later on tonight”)

Subsequent episodes are on the schedule for the future so I’m assuming that means the whole rest of the series. Yippee! Not sure about the subsequent movie.

So, is anyone else happy about this?

Firefly fans, declare yourselves! Describe what you liked best about this series and why you think it was supremely stupid of Fox to cancel it before it had sufficient time to build its audience. I’m not the only Flutherite to appreciate this unique show, am I ? A Sci-Fi show with no latex masked Aliens—imagine that.
