Firefly is back. (Sort of.)

With each passing week, it continues to blow my mind that there is nobody out there able to talk sense into a television network and organize the return of Joss Whedon's Firefly. The fans have made valiant efforts. The cast has expressed enthusiasm and love and longing to

"Serenity" is Flying Back Into Theaters

Thanks to Josh Hurst for noting the return of Mal, River, Wash, and Zoe... The cult television sci-fi series "Firefly" may be gone, but its fans won't budge. Their rallying cry led to last year's "Serenity" hitting the big screen and will

Serenity Now!

My how things have changed. In the year of the climactic Star Wars episode, I'm actually far more excited about this. If you don't understand, go rent the Firefly TV series on DVD and get hooked. The fun, smart-aleck dialogue, edgy action, and strong storytelling of
