I’ll be damned. All of that whining, letter writing, and petition signing actually [made a difference.](http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=16501)

:eek:

I never would have credited it.

But, as with all else in life, this merely adds fuel to my eternal torch for _Friefly_. If they could do it, Joss can do it.

Wow.  
Looks like one of the networks actually has some sense in them.  
I just wish Fox could follow their example.

[FilmForce](http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/440/440604p1.html?fromint=1) is reporting that the production office in Australia has indeed resumed operations. Production will be limited to a mini-series, independent of the Sci-Fi channel.

I certainly hope not. The show was godawful the final season, some of the worst science fiction ever to be shown on TV. I’ll give it a watch, but if it’s half as ludicrious as it was in the final season, I doubt I’ll stay through an entire episode.

And since the solution to the “cliffhanger” is painfully obvious, there’s not even any suspense on how they’ll come back.

I am of the opinion that I disagree with your opinion quite a bit.
