and another one word before bed.
Nathan’s back
Raise your hand if you are NOT IN ANY WAY having problems telling Caleb and Mal Reynolds apart.

Another Murphy’s Rule: someone you just met and want to make a good impression with will drop in to chat right when you’re fiften seconds into doing today’s one word
Firefly stuff
Hell yes I’m still rooting for the show. Here’s some info:
Firefly abroad
The UK Sci-Fi channel has now added the series to their listing for May. According the listings they have it on Sundays at 7pm starting with the first part of Serenity on May 18th. In their forums they have also confirmed they’ll be showing the unaired episodes.
Anyone know someone in England? Anyone get the British sci-fi channels on satelite?
From the 4/11 USA Today Life section:
Firefly may be grounded, but it’s not quite ready to be scrapped.
Created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), this Western-in-space spectacular was canceled by Fox this winter after a mere half-season’s run. Whedon, however, remains committed to the show’s possibilities – and hurt by it’s quick demise.
“I still haven’t given up on Firefly,” he says, “which may seem strange since it’s been off the air for months. If I can find a new home for Firefly, TV, or movies or any damn thing, it will soften the blow.”
[snip stuff about Gina on Angel and Nathan on Buffy]
Whedon also may have found a home for Firefly on DVD. Fox is planning to release the show on disc in widescreen format, possibly in December. Whedon is expected to provide commentary, as he did for Buffy and Angel.
Demo
“I don’t know if it’s really what I’m looking for.”
“Joe,” he slapped me on the back. “This is exactly what you’re looking for.”
I circled the thing. “Explain what it’s supposed to do again…”
“It’s a heart-breaking machine,” he said, smiling and never losing his patience. “Let’s try the demo…”
oneword’s word for today.
Previously, on Angel…
I feel I need to specifically draw attention to Randy’s comment regarding Skip’s final moments:
My first thought was that Wesley gets to do all the cool stuff. Then I remembered that Wesley’s been communing with his dead, evil girlfriend while Gunn was introducing Gwen Raiden to touching and sex.
Yeah, if you’re the guy writing the story, you pretty much have to feel bad and give Wesley the pity-kill. :)
Something tells me…
that a recurring role on Angel is not in the cards for Skip :)
Fanboy FYI
Skip the Demon is back on Angel this week.
