According to the FOX page, they have had a break scheduled for a while now. This episode is scheduled to air Dec 6.Episode #10 will air on Dec 13Episode #11 will air Dec 20. It looks like we will get to see the un-aired two-hour pilot after all!Okay, now speculation… (all of which is IMO)First off, the three-week break probably is not a sign of Firefly getting cancelled.1)    The hiatus has been planned for several weeks.  2)    FOX is showing a movie in this time slot which also affects John Doe. So, unless John Doe gets moved to a new timeslot, it would have to be a double cancellation.3)    All indicators are that FOX still has faith in this show. There are rumors (and let me emphasize that they are RUMORS) that FOX is considering moving Firefly out of the Friday-night timeslot of death. Preliminary talk says Wednesday, or Monday nights.Okay, now commentary… Regardless of the schedule, I think the plan stinks. In fact, it couldn’t come at a worse time. Firefly needs to get its ratings up. That means getting viewers. Pre-empting the show is only going to make it harder to find.</blockquote>
