I doubt. That's Fastlane's timeslot on FOX.

No I haven't heard of it, but I think I will look it up sometime. [br] Does anyone know how many eps of BoP are going to be shown? Fox is still showing previews for the next ep.

Where Firefly is a show that keeps getting better and richer with each new episode, BoP is (was) a show where the quality/consistency and almost every aspect of the talent involved got worse with each new episode.
This week's episode "Split" with guest character DarkStrike was yet another episode where the flaws screamed out at you while you watched.
(Is DarkStrike even a real character from the comics? I've never heard of him). Anyway, these are supposed to be heroes with secret identities, yet none of them where masks. Never understood that. I think BoP's fatal flaw was that it never fully commited to being based on a comic book and instead tried to ape Mutant X and Smallvile (better shows than BoP, but nowhere near as good as Firefly).
The most interesting thing about BoP was the introduction with the Burton-esque Batman/Catwoman/Joker footage. I kept hoping the show would live up to this intro snippet, but it never did.

I thought BoP was entertaining but the writing was pretty bad.
However, I figured that we've been spoiled by Mutant Enemy's writing since BoP's writing wasn't worse than most of the crap out on the networks.
I was a bit surprised by the quick hook.
