I'm not sure but I think the first episode will be The Train Job and this will be shown on May 12th.


Now why on Earth would SciFi UK make the same mistake as Fox and willingly fail to show Firefly's pilot episode first?

Someone send SciFi UK the correct viewing order of Firefly, please!!

If you look at the Scifi message boards (in the "Interact" section) there already seems to be a lot of noise about getting the airing order right - in an email to them I suggested airing them in the intended order, I hope other people are doing the same.

You're right - that message has been given loud and clear. I just joined the SciFi UK forum for the purpose of posting a message about how great the show is, but ended up not posting when I saw the "tetchy" reaction that similar messages were eliciting from the UK fans. I guess American good will is meeting with suspicion everywhere these days.

Overall, it bodes well for the show. Firefly does best with the independent-minded. I thought the premise was a bit hokey myself, until Our Mrs. Reynolds dropped me like a ton of bricks - and the rest was history.


Keep Flyin'

Yay! At least we'll be able to download the eps soon if they don't release some freaking dvds!

Sorry you got a 'tetchy' response LJB064. Some of us still love you and I think that joining the forum to tell us about the show was a very nice thing to do.



I have downloaded bits and pieces of eps but I cannot wait to see them and hopefully get them on video. I wish that Sci Fi (UK) would commission more but at least we will have the 15 that do exist and I can drool over Mal as much as I like.

God, they're as bad as fox if not worse.

First, they air them out of order, AGAIN!

Second, anyone notice the catagory? Youth / Children

Weird categorising..... Didn't notice that myself.

I have sent a couple of emails regarding the correct airing order - no speedy reply like I got before.
Personally my fingers are crossed for the channel getting the message sometime soon.

One thing I was wondering, if they do go ahead and run The Train Job as the first episode and then air the remaining episodes in Fox's bizarre order, what will they do once they get to Objects in Space? Will they air it, then air Serenity, and THEN go on with the last last three episodes?

I hope not

From the Sci-Fi forum:

Well I have some really good news regarding Firefly - Having talked to TPTB they have changed their running order & will air "Serenity" first, followed by "Train Job".
