FOX screwed the show from the start by airing episodes out of order. Because the characters and story were never properly introduced, viewers were confused and the show never got the ratings FOX wanted, so they cancelled it. Don't believe me, then give the series a chance in the order the episodes were meant to be shown. It's one of the best things out there. About Firefly, I will say this.

TOS wasn't a <i>good</i> show; it was the <i>only</i> show and the ratings just weren't there. If today's market supports garbage like Enterprise, then Farscape/Firefly has no excuse for going off the air. Look at Stargate - could you have a cheesier premise? Yet it's been bought for an eighth season because people actually <i>watch</i> it. So I repeat, <i>eh?</i> Brain and brain, what is brain?
