Oh dear. They're airing them in Foxed-up order? Argh indeed!
Those lead-ins are original, BTW - didn't get on the DVDs for some reason.
At least the Philippines has you, Horge, to straighten them out. Big job ahead for you! I'm looking forward to an influx of new Asian fans to this board as a result of this airing.

"Big job" is right...
Or maybe not. The people I enticed into watching
Firefly last night seem to have enjoyed it
enough. I want to let them find out stuff on
their own, and only help them when they ask
(mostly by pointing them this-a-ways, hehe).

The Philippines has some of the best cable TV packages in all of Asia. They are light years ahead of Japan, Korea and Thailand just to name a few. I travel there several times a year and always look forward to the TV programming. Jack TV rocks!

Just read on someone's blog that August is Sci-Fi Month in Asia. Not sure how true that is, as it is kinda generalizing over many, many different peoples, but I like the idea of sci-fi month.

Sci-Fi month, Griz?
Not here in the Philippines, I'm afraid.
I'm glad someone likes Philippine cable, MAEKCHU!
I'm worried about the (increasing) number of
cable channels here, though, and the trend of
genre-specialization going on.
Pretty soon there will be a Sci-Fi channel,
as C/S (ostensibly "crime/suspense", and hosting
everything from Law&Order reruns to Prison Break and 24)
is overweight with S/F shows like Battlestar
Galactica and more obscure ones like Eureka,
Threshold, Invasion, etc. etc.
I like it better when good S/F shows share space
with more 'mainstream' fare, so that a wider
audience can be err... assimilated :)
