Anybody noticed that Firefly is no longer listed under shows? I guess now we know Fox true intention.

May US Sci-Fi, one day, picks up the repeats.

I noticed that the other day. I was not sure when they dropped it, but figured it had been awhile.

I too hope that Sci Fi here in the States follows the lead of her UK counterpart and airs the episodes along w/ the 3 unaired ones.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

I really hoped to see the unaired Firefly eps on Fox at their full length and uncensored.

After what Sci Fi did to Fox's Alien Nation (shortened the eps and 'adjusted' the language), I am less than excited about Sci Fi US getting their grubby hands on my precious Firefly.

All the Firefly DVD talk did perk me up a bit, tho.

FYI, Firefly isnt on the list of shows anymore, but the site is still there. You can get to it at http://www.fox.com/firefly/

The networks usually have their sites on-line for the whole season (although it may not be listed). Before the fall season starts, the website will be revamped, and the Firefly site will be gone. If you type in "fox.com/girlsclub", that site is still there.

I forgot about what Sci-Fi did with Alien Nation. That was so funny that Fox could air the language, and Sci-Fi censored it.

Also, too bad we won't see the whole Firely episode, because syndication cuts its program (a minute or two) for more commercials. And Sci-Fi does a hatchet job!
