I hope everyone caught what I did...the Sci-Fi channel will be airing the trailer for Serenity next week during Firefly! Of course, I don't know if this means the first hour or the second hour! Who knows maybe they'll show it on Lifetime one of the many times that channel will be airing the movie that Sean is in (plug here)The Dive from Clausen's Pier (he's playing "Kilroy"). Or better yet - Adam's show The Inside.

Here's hoping!!

They're showing 2 hours next week?
Why didn't they show it in widescreen????? And the sound was bad (I have great suround sound system but on TV it sounded "tinny" in places). Arrrggh! I guess I'm gonna have to loan out my DVDs so the folks I told to watch it can see a decent version.

I like it better in widescreen, but damn it, I was just so glad to see it being broadcast again, that I can almost forgive the problems.

True--but SciFi is really good about showing most programs in widescreen. Heck even a lot of their adds are WS. I told a guy from work that it would look great on his big-screen TV. Just kinda disappointed.

The original broadcasts for Firefly were in full-screen because Fox Network wouldn't air it in widescreen. It would seem that Sci-Fi has only got the rights to the aired episodes.

Something to note that I found out tonight. Sci-Fi won't be airing the three unaired episodes. Just the episodes that aired originally and in the format that they aired. That really sucks.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Keeps the DVD set "special" if SciFi doesn't air the unaired episodes. People thinking about buying it won't be satisfied with just taping it off of SciFi 'cause they'll be missing those eps. That's my guess, anyway.

If that's true, maybe it will actually sell more DVDs. They do list info on all the Firefly eps on the SciFi site--even the unaired ones. I had read that the unaired ones were to be shown, but I don't remember where I saw that. I'll stick to the widescreen DVDs. Just so much better in WS.

For just a second I thought, perhaps they decided to do this so they could air Objects In Space by the release date of the BDM. But no, they'll be showing War Stories on 2005 Sept 30. So we won't even know, absolutely, positively, & fer sher, 'til a week after the BDM opens.

OK---According to SciFi, ALL episodes will be aired.
This copied straight from their site:

SCI FI Channel 7/22/2005 7:00 p.m. ET/PT

The Sci Fi Channel airs Firefly, Joss Whedon's cult-fave space opera series, and the basis of the upcoming Serenity feature film. The 15 episodes will air on Fridays before new episodes of Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica.
