Still Flying

The Sci-Fi channel tonight begins its journey into an alternate reality that defies imagination, a variant timeline where the Fox network doesn't suck.

Here's how it is: Earth got used up, so we terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with new technologies, some not so much. Central Planets, them was formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight it, among them myself. I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the Serenity. Got a good crew: fighters, pilot, mechanic. We even picked up a preacher, and a bona fide companion. There's a doctor, too, his genius sister from some Alliance camp, so they're keeping a low profile. You got a job, we can do it, don't much care what it is.

That's right, the Sci-Fi channel begins its run of Firefly tonight, leading up to the release of the Serenity movie in theaters. All the episodes, in order. Just try and imagine that; Fox couldn't.
