What is "ret-con" translation?
Sounds like you think there is a conflict, which I didn't see. T2 had Sarah, and then T3 was placed after 2004. In this show, they take Sarah and John out of 1999, bypassing the fateful timeline. Where is the problem? By bypassing the T3 timeline, it didn't occur that way.

It was pretty good! There were some changes from the leaked pilot; changes for the better, IMO.
The word is the second episode (or 2nd half of the pilot, whatever way you want to see it) really gets the plot going.

I agree, I can't stand the current Fox lineup. On the upside or possibly the downside, Fox picked up Joss's Dollhouse with Eliza Dushku, if SCC doesn't get canned Fox style then I can sleep easy knowing Dollhouse will have a chance.

From Wikipedia: Retconning is a deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction.
This really doesn't sound like retconning, but it is doing what Superman Returns did (starting from Superman 2).
I really hope none of the Firefly cast gets typecasted, but if we look at Adam Baldwin (big tough guy in Firefly, big tough guy in X-files, big tough guy in Chuck), sometimes its unavoidable. The real test is whether he creates a unique and interesting character with those traits, which Adam does really well.
Being typecasted can sometimes be a good thing, cause it can get you a job. Then again Nathan Fillion and Jewel Staite are getting very diverse roles, so no worries for Summer.

That t-shirt won't last long with all the guns and explosions.

This does not seem to fit the listed definition of ret-con.
Summer seems to be the star.
In her very first episode (Serenity), she said it was quite the initiation being nekid for her first scene, introduction. Now her first hour in this show she had to be nekid/topless twice - is this a trend?

Don't forget big tough guy on Stargate:SG1, big tough guy in Full Metal Jacket... he's made an art of it. I do hope they show a softer side -or at least play up his humorous side- on Chuck.
P.S. I cannot remember what happened to him on SG1 I do hope he guest stars on Atlantis someday if he didn't die.

Does anybody remember the lines that sounded like Firefly lines? I can't believe I already forgot them.
