The SCI FI Channel will add FOX's short-lived science fiction series Firefly to its popular Friday night line-up this summer, The Futon Critic is reporting. Reruns of the show's 15 episodes will begin on July 22.

Firefly appears to be taking over Andromeda's 7 p.m. Eastern/Pacific timeslot, just ahead of Stargate SG-1's all-new ninth season. (Two episodes are scheduled for July 29, at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.)

Firefly is a quirky space series with a Western flavor from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, and stars Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm Reynolds. The show was a hit with fans, whose post-cancellation support led to the production of the feature film Serenity, due in theaters this September.

Co-star Adam Baldwin ("Jayne Cobb") appeared on Stargate SG-1 as Colonel Dave Dixon in Season Seven's "Heroes." Jewel Staite ("Kaylee Frye") will appear as a Wraith in an upcoming episode of Stargate Atlantis, "Instinct.

Will they show it in order this time? A buddy of mine has the season DVD's and when I found out they didn't show the season the correct order it kind of made sense why I couldn't get into it.

The movie looks really good too.

The eps on the DVD weren't in the correct order?

No they didn't broadcast the series in the correct order! Or so I'm told.

I know they've done that with other tv shows (aired eps that were filmed earlier at a later time) but if it hurts the series, that's not a good thing. Definitely hurts continuity.

No, they're in order; I think what MM was saying was that he got into it once he saw them in order.

 

[Mystery Man]

According to what I've heard when they first broadcast the series they aired them in the incorrect order. The DVD of the series shows the episodes in the correct order. If this is true (about the broadcasting of the show) it would explain why the series fizzled for me, it really made no sense at the time. I could never get the gist of what the heck was going on. If they re-air the shows and show in the order of the DVD's (which are in fact correctly ordered) the show will make much more sense.

That's what I'm trying to say.

Which make more sense (I hope) now that I've had my alottment of caffeinated beverages for the morning.
