EDIT: Oops, wait a minute. Huh. That's not the FOX episode order, but it is confusing.

Well, at least some of the important storylines are mostly in order so there won't be spoilers. Objects in Space is after Heart of Gold, Safe is after Shindig, and Jaynestown, Ariel, and War Stories are also in order.

Well, it will play to the end of the television season, which is ideal for a plug for a second season.

Really what's needed for a second season is Nathan, Summer and Sean. Everyone else is *technically* expendable. So, even if we might miss them, or be jarred by Sarah Jessica Parker as the ship's engineer ;) I think that really anyone who can't make it could just be replaced with some explanation of what their character is doing.

I trust Joss (to some extent) He created these characters, he can create some more. I think the toughest person to get ahold of will be Summer. If they don't have those three, it will become a different story, but it might still be Firefly ;)

It's true, not only do I have faith Joss could pull just about anything off that can be acted, but also that the characters who are not expendable are Mal, Simon, and River.

I also have faith that he probably wouldn't take it too wrong and awful a direction so long as there isn't too much romance.

For those people who are bothered by certain events, we can retcon everything that came before as visions River was having and start over fresh. Some of those visions may have had oddities, such as not being accurate representations of appearance (a different actor playing the character).

We could even have a storyline where River prevents some of the tragedy that will come to pass. This way people will be happy when the series continues past the point of the movie.

Also, he could add some Asians and futuristic Native American tribesmen and women main characters in this time. Just saying. It IS a western.

That was the production order, and could possibly have been the original broadcast order if the series had continued longer. Joss felt OiS was the best way to end it, both on the air and on the DVDs.

I'll take the show any way I can get it at this point. I just KNOW I'm going to be seriously upset when it's over. I'm ALMOST sorry I started watching it because I know how short a ride it's going to be :(

Obviously this isn't something the Science Channel will do, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone else will see what the show can do when it's aired and promoted properly, and will maybe take notice.

Have to think though, if the Science Channel did pick Firefly up, it'd be their highest rated show by far. Hell, I'd upgrade my cable package just to watch it!

I pray for one last landing,

Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.
