Better late than never

Looks like all that rotation of "Serenity"
on HBO Asia has a few channels interested.

"Firefly" will be premiering on C/S this August 2007,
as either the lead-in to ongoing Season 6 of "24",
or else tucked between "Bones" and "Prison Break".
C/S is one of the most popular cable channels
here, and if the show rates well, might then get
picked up by semi-affiliated broadcast channel
RPN 9

Some kids that I've asked say they're excited
about "that new Serenity spin-off", impressed
that "they even got all the original movie actors!".

Cheers.

That is so funny!

I wonder why they called the Serenity spin-off Firefly. That is so strange. Why didn't they call it Serenity?

Glad to see you're excited about this FireflyPassenger!!

Whereabouts in the Philippines are you Horge? I am guessing Manila though I could be wrong... I left a chunk of my heart in the Philippines - it's a beautiful country with the most amazing people! I will immediately email all my friends and let them know to watch out for it!

Thank you Horge!! That looks terrific! I bet it's hot there at the moment!! I arrived on New Years Eve of 2004 so you can imagine the party that occoured on my first night there!!

I shall pass on the link to my friends - especially my friend who's a teacher - she'll need to let her pupils know for sure... eh?

It's so nice to find someone from Manila is part of the FFF.net family!!

AAARGGGHHHHH!!!

They're airing the episodes out of order!!!
They kicked it off with "The Train Job".

At least here was an interesting 30 second intro,
describing the history of the Alliance, Independents, the difficulties of border planet
life, and particularly of captaining a smuggling ship, voiced by Ron Glass...

then a dissolve to the bar with the belly dancer.
