But it probably won't be. Bringing a show back from the grave means that the exec who stamped his moniker on the cancellation decision has to admit he was wrong. And that's about as likely to happen at this point as Antonin Scalia's spontaneous combustion.

That, and the Fux Network seems to be burnt out on anything that isn't a straightforward, testosterone-fueled explosion of the Terminator:SCC/Prison Break/24 serial variety, or something of the endlessly-rerunnable genre that House and Bones fall into. They've taken steps to cancel everything else that isn't American Idol or Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader: Anything that might require a viewer to think is something they don't want to invest in, although I understand that they are giving Joss Whedon's Dollhouse a "chance", that chance probably involves the Friday night timeslot of death. I wouldn't be surprised if, as its scripted shows gradually spun out into cancellation, Fox went all-reality in the wake of the writers' strike. Maybe Joss could find greener pastures at SciFi, or the CW.

Why yes, I am still bitter that they cancelled [insert show of choice here]--whyever would you ask? ;-)

Firefly had a way of making me do that...

Number One: "The Visitor" from DS9

OMG! Ponies!

]]> <![CDATA[A Robbery Goes Right -- We Have the First Four Pages of Upcoming Firefly Comic]]> oof. I am excited, but still hoping they get a better artist for this. The style is not jiving with the firefly/serenity asian-techno-western pop thing Whedon did. this totally reminds me of the illustrated L Neil Smith books. I am left wanting.
