Sorry if this has been posted already, but it looks like Fox has changed the schedules--again. Janestown (script pages are up) will be after 'Our Mrs. Reynolds,' then 'Out of Gas,' then 'Shindig,' and then 'Safe.' I'm thinking this might have something to do with the fact that 'Safe' is supposed to focus on Simon and River, both of whom will be major players when the show finally switches to a more 'arc' centered storytelling style. 'Jaynestown' looks pretty funny, though. :)

Oh dear, oh dear. Now that one I am really looking forward to!

Script pages here: www.fox.com/firefly/spoilers.htm . The Jaynestown scene is from the teaser, so it's not really a spoiler. If you're using Internet Explorer, and the pages are too faint, it's probably because the browser is resizing the images to fit in your window. To toggle this feature, point at the image with your mouse, wait a second for the toggle button to appear, and click same.

JOSS, WHERE'S MY CHECK???!!!

Its a bit worrying in a way. Looks like FOX are worried about the ratings and are trying to encourage viewers to the show via the humour. Joss' humour is a good selling point but I'd preffer to see the eps in the order they were made in. there might not be an arc but there will be subtle things which change as the producers try things (costume alterations, hair etc) along with look and feel.
As i'd have though Buffy writers (for Sindig and Safe) would be a good selling point.

Well maybe FOX has nothing to do with this...Maybe it's a decision made by Joss and/or his crew to shift the episodes that way cause they realised that it would fit better with the story they want to tell
