Well, I actually haven't watched TV since Babylon 5 ended in '98, just DVDs of shows I hear a lot about, so I didn't know about the earlier Serenity-War Stories marathon.
I just think Serenity should always be the first episode of Firefly anybody sees.
For one thing, if you see Serenity after watching the other episodes, all that mystery that Joss worked so hard to build up around Simon and his big silver box goes right out the window.

The important thing is that there showing it at all so that ne nonbrowncoats that see it can be enlightened. Sure they arent showing it in order but maybe that will just encourage the people that see parts of the marathon and like it to go buy the series on DVD. Besides who out of neone on here doesnt own the series on DVD already... you could certainly watch the other episodes like that.

I second that Atticus. At least they're showing it and I think this could bring in some new browncoats.
I wish they'd show the whole thing or at least include Serenity and Out of Gas but oh-well. Something IS better than nothing.
Also, on the scif.com boards for Firefly there is a lot of talk about after the marathon sending emails to scifi thanking them for airing it and requesting that Firefly be aired as a primtetime summer replacement series, each week hosted by another member of the cast or crew who could share some thoughts on the episode. The hope is to A) get some fun new interviews to watch and B) spark interest in a revival of the show.
Sounds like a great idea to me.

Sorry, zzetta. I'm fully clothed today. FMF and I were having a Streak Off last night. I've discovered streaking in winter is a Bad Idea. Waaay too cold.
