Sci-Fi Channel Picks Up Firefly 406
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."

Give the show to a network that knows what it's doing and appreciate what it has got.

Although actors such as Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, and Jewel Staite have signed on to the show, Whedon denies that the show has anything to do with his previous sci-fi drama, "Firefly." "They're two completely different insects!" Whedon said in a telephone interview. "They're both sci-fi shows, so there might be some similarities in that regard, but otherwise they're completely different. Promise!"
Sources have confirmed that Whedon will be singing the theme song for this show too, containing the lyrics "Can't never take away my blue clouds, y'hear?" Look for "Bumblebee" in Fall 2006 on the Sci-Fi channel.

It had a cat-walk, too. That's all futurish. And in one episode they opened something that had dry-ice steam floating off of it.
"generic non-descript infirmary."
Hey, they had needles in there... and... and stuff!
"generic non-descript kitchen (with garage-sale furniture that has been bolted to the floor so that it doesn't float around in low-g settings"
Ahem! "Space bolts"!
"generic curtain-filled room for the space-hooker's quarters."
Oh, and I supposed you think you can just saunter down to Better Whores and Brothels and pick up a bolt of Companion Cloth! That stuff was so 400 years ahead of it's time!
"generic dashboard-looking cockpit with plastic dinosaurs scattered here and there."
Dinosaurs! Do you hear yourself? Dinosaurs! The things died out millions of years ago, and yet through the magic of television they were brought back to us, just to "decorate a set"! My gods, how wastefull is this Joss Whedon guy?!

He wasn't talking about our space race, dude. It was the one on Vulcan.
