This is a very brief mention,but in the Life section they have an article headlined,"Make some old and new aquaintances".The article is basically about entering the new year at home in a quiet fashion,and it has seven suggestions of film and TV to watch.Firefly is among them and is called "unfortunatly underappreciated".
The reason I think this is important is from my own personal experience.I'm a recent convert and I can't tell you how many times I've read small little things in newspapers and magazines like this.
So when a fan told me about it in more detail,and I already knew it was well thought of because of small mentions of it I'd read,I gave it a shot.Then the love affair started,haha.
Anyway I just thought I would mention it.Little things like this can grow,as you long time Browncoats already know.

Hey nice to know USA today has good taste

Once again Firefly is recognized as a great show.

It surely would be nice if F** producers could read.

It is SHINY news indeed.

And yes, despite popular belief, Fox TV execs can read, it's the big words that give them trouble like: character development, storytelling and patience.

Well, special thanks goes to the Fox execs who brought us Firefly to begin with, too bad they didn't have enough faith in its development over the long haul to allow it to grow along with the fans.

THis is to the folks at Fox: Do you think you will have a loyal fan base this time around? Will you make gobs of money from the DVD sales of future episodes? To answer those questions I pose to you this: Does Kaylee get excited when she sees synchronizers? (Hint: the answer is YES).

Bring back Firefly!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Glad to hear Firefly is still getting much deserved nods from the media. Thanks for the tip Cole.
