Firefly

Firefly is great - sort of like Blake's 7 for the modern age. I can't believe it wasn't given a second series. It seems so unfair, especially since things like Sliders (the programme that gave Gimli his big break)(eta: and er, Indiana Jones, that minor film series you may have heard of - thank you, musesfool); ran for what seemed many thousands of episodes. 

It's back to work tomorrow, after a blissful week off. I'm using my new icon in anticipation (good work news though: I'm being paid a half decent salary at last - personnel, the useless boobies, finally sorted the problem).

There is a Firefly movie-length thing currently in production. Just as with Farscape, the fan campaign managed to show there was enough interest to generate at least that, if not another series.

The irritating thing is that Farscape was contracted for another season, before Sci-Fi changed it's mind (and tried to wangle the timing so the news would go out quietly, when the show was on hiatus) and Farscape was never really given a fair showing by Fox- not the publicity/support, messing around with the episode order, not showing the last three episodes of the season.

It's a shame - there seems to be a solid fan following for Firefly. Perhaps after the film's made and is, hopefully, a success, then the show might get picked up again.
