Charmed Discussion – “Necromancing the Stone”
This one doesn’t have the funky-coloured “All New” text on the official
website, so I’m guessing it’s a rerun.
Firefly Activity Surrounds DVD Release
rickyjames
writes, With less than two weeks to go before the
Dec. 9 Firefly DVD release, I thought I’d share some of
the ancillary Firefly activities I’ve been covering over on
(unabashed plug) my
SciScoop website. The latest newsstand issue of
SFX, a British sci-fi magazine, has an excellent 1

page article full of color photographs, spoiler-free reviews
and Joss’ comments on all the Firefly episodes as well as
some information on the upcoming Firefly movie. Joss
will be discussing the Firefly DVD and upcoming movie at
the L.A. Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention on
December 21. Early
DVD reviews are giving the DVD package five of five
stars, naturally. A
Firefly fan has produced a Firefly commentary DVD
project of his own as part of his work towards a Master’s
degree in Communications. His DVD is available via email
request from his webpage, which includes a pretty good
four-minute intro video clip entitled “What Is Firefly?” in
both RealMedia and Windows format. Wavsite as well as
a new, pretty good fanzine site start-up called “Still
Flying“, which is of course the Firefly motto. Of
particular Also up are some great Firefly
audio clips at interest in this initial effort are the
extensive list of other Firefly site links and an exclusive
interview with Jewel
Staite/Kaylee.
I don’t have time to check out all of those links, but
it looks good to me.
Weekly Comic Discussion
With Angel, Smallville, and
Jake 2.0 pre-empted this week (for
Josie and the Pussycats on the WB, and
Stone Cold Truth on UPN) we might as well
read some comics. I’ll be picking up the trade paperback
collecting all of Joss Whedon’s Fray
miniseries, Fantastic Four #507, and
JLA / Avengers #3.
Quantum Leap on DVD next year?
It looks like the first season of Quantum Leap
is in the works for a DVD release. Read the full story at TV
Shows on DVD.
Andromeda Discussion – “Answers Given To Questions Never Asked”
This is a rerun of the season premier.
Tarzan Discussion – “The End of the Beginning”
The End of the Beginning also marks the end
of the series.
Charmed Discussion – “Chris-Crossed”
Time travelling witch assassins, and secrets revealed
about Chris. Sounds like this show’s fans might be in for a
good one.
Game Review – “Orphen: Scion of Sorcery”
The review of Orphen: Scion of Sorcery that was requested by arashiken way back in August has finally been completed. It took buying Final Fantasy Origins to encourage me to get it done, but I did. (Expect a review of the original Final Fantasy by the end of the year.)

“Family Guy” may come back – hope for “Firefly?”
According to this TV Shows on DVD article, The Family Guy has been selling so well on DVD that it may get resurrected as a TV series. When I read that this morning, I thought “Neat, but not Bureau 42 stuff.” It hit me later today; the network considering this action is the same network that cancelled Firefly, and all episodes of that show to date are being released on DVD on December 9. It seems reasonable to assume the same logic applies: strong DVD sales might bring the show back to life. I say to you: Do YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING HERE!
