Firefly returns

I just discovered that Joss Whedon’s short-lived sci-fi/western adventure series Firefly is returning for a run on the Discovery Network Science Channel beginning March 6. I liked it when it first ran a few years ago.

Imagine the western genre set 500 years in the future. Following a universal civil war in which our protaganists end up on the losing side, they eke out a living with their spaceship Serenity by trading/smuggling in the more or less lawless frontier areas of space.

Actors Nathan, Gina, Alan, Jewel, Adam, Morena, Sean, Summer, and Ron put a fun but different spin on a common genre. I don’t subscribe to the Discovery Channel, but it just may be time to break out the DVD’s for another viewing of this show.

Mal (the captain): “Just get us on the ground!”
Wash (the pilot): “That part will happen pretty definitely!”
