 	Sorry, folks, I have to comment.

 	Absolutely LOVED Firefly, though the inorder presented, and 
inconsistant ordering of the episodes really confused me. I had to 
painstakenly download each episode from P2P networks in order to get the 
whole show, and understand what they were doing. Fabulous.

 	"The Train Job" really did it for me. Full-on.

 	Then, the last episode really pissed me off. It turned all 
soap-opearish -- the episode where the crew was supposed to help some 
whorehouse fend-off some fiendish cowboys.

 	I am, however, drooling over the film, which I hope to watch in 
the theatre soon. I can't imagine why "will and grace" is on TV, but no 
real Sci-Fi shows. Makes me mad. TV is shit without Sci-Fi channel.
