Hey, I see some of you (about 95) took a peek before I made it official. Gotta make you folks do some farm chores around this place.

Anyway, this week is 'Dead or Alive.' Written by Cheryl Cain ("War Stories"), the script was shelved due to production issues.

In terms of timeline, "Dead or Alive" is in the vicinity of "Jaynestown." While the script was never produced, many of the ideas found their way into "The Message," the last episode of Firefly produced.

Thanks Haken.

I can possibly see why it wasn't produced. See below.

It could also prehaps be budget reasons, dunno.

A fair etc sounds pretty expensive to put together for a single ep.

Oh and thank you Haken!

I can't read the others cause I know I'll see em eventually, so finally one I can love :)

Muchas gracias, Haken!
This site continues to surprise me. Our beloved Firefly has been off-air for months now, yet, I believe more and more new people are discovering it for the first time (and perhaps, others are discovering it again for the second and third or more times). I can only wonder: do any of the actors and/or people behind the camera/scenes visit here?
Do any of y'all know if this site is visited by anyone from (ugh) Fox?
Haken, once again, your work is very much appreciated.

Talk peace, but, carry a BIG stick.

Hey Haken:

Thanks, as always.

Did I miss something? Why did you decide to post Dead or Alive before The Message (as per your previously posted schedule)?

Not complaining, just wondering.

Haken posted this on another thread. Back, after the posting of the complete 'Trash' script. It is a whole 'specially natured' episode. So Haken is gonna torture us with suspense; I for one am happy to be tortured with Firefly scripts.

this is perhaps the single nicest thing i've ever seen someone do online ever

the longer we stretch these precious few scripts, the closer we get to those Dec DVDs. there is nothing on TV worth watching anymore

thank you so much
