While perousing SCI FI's website and manually exploring their September schedule, I came upon this page for September 27th!

Wow! Ten episodes plus a 30-minute "Serenity" special! Shiny! Your thoughts?

oh this is so exciting!
I had been bemoaning (quietly, to myself)
the fact that Sci-fi didn't start off with a marathon before running all the episodes...
but this is SO much cooler!
If any people had come along and become fans but missing some of the episodes,
they can watch the whole thing in one gulp on Tuesday Sept 27th...
just in time to find the comics and STILL get to the theater for the opening weekend!

Yay!

It would be cool if it was on a weekend and we could have all day Firefly parties.

Only the ten episodes? Why not all 14 of them?

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

Actually you wont. SciFi did not start airing them early enough to run all 15 episodes before the movie comes out. So depending on what episodes they air that day, you may need to tape some of them during the marathon, or even after.

Of course you could also buy the DVD so you can watch them commercial free, widescreen, with commentary, deleted scenes, and a few specials.

Ooh, that looks Shiny. It looks real Shiny. I've been wanting to do that with my DVD's for a while, but having it on TV is all that much more special.

Actually, clearly the answer is to buy the DVD's to get all the extra goodness and commercial-free viewing, AND watch Sci-Fi's episodes, because if nothing else, people (myself included) have been noticed marked differences between the two. Anyone else notice different markings on the crybaby in the pilot?
