I wouldn't carve this into your stone calendars just yet, since the programmers have been changing things at the last minute lately.

Eleven hours of Firefly, Monday, February 18. My conjecture at this time is that they will pick up where they left off the last time (Serenity-Bushwhacked) and complete the series with Shindig-Objects in Space. That is...unless they change the schedule again between now and then, or even three or four times between now and then.

I think it might be a good idea if we have an e-mail campaign, thanking Sci/Fi for scheduling the Marathon, and asking them to please keep it intact on their schedule .

We could wait until January 2nd to do it, after the Holidays. This would give us time to pass the word and get everyone we know to help. Then, on the second, e-mail feedback@scifi.com and (in your own words) Thank them and ask that they not change the schedule.

This sort of thing has actually worked before, and there's no reason to assume that it wouldn't have a positive effect this time. -Especially if we get enough folks to do it!

This can be our first bit of Guerilla Marketing for the New Year, folks!

While we probably won't get the 11 hours currently scheduled, it's still a good idea to send them an early "Thanks" so they'll know that folks Will be watching Feb 18th!

They must have known that it was my birthday!

I think the email campaign is a good one. It needs to go beyond this board though. I can mention it on several that I frequent if we decide to do it.

Thanks! I've posted about it on the sci/fi board, the OB, serenitymovie.org, and here.

The more folks that know, the better!

IMHO, the better episodes are the later ones, so I hope they don't start with the first one either.

Since Sci/Fi showed the Pilot and the first two episodes on December 18, it's likely they'll pick up where they left off. -But then again, that makes sense, and Networks aren't all that prone to things that make sense, are they?

I agree, though: The nextfive episodes in the Lineup is a phenomenal group. Shindig, Safe, OMR, Jaynestown, OoG.... wow.

A very Shiny 2008 to everyone!

Please e-mail Skiffy in the next few days, thanking them for the upcoming Marathon, and requesting that they keep it intact!
