Fire-Fly Fans - New Serenity Model available

Eoghann confirms that if you are a Fire-Fly fan and haven't got a couple of kilobucks to spare on huge models of Serenity then this 1:400th scale model might just be what will keep you happy through the dark months. This newest model is a hair under 100 and is still wonderfully detailed for the modest outlay.

As QMonline puts it: Smaller, But Still Plucky as Ever. As you can see in the pic - not off the mark at all. Qmxonline.com says that this unique item will be available in December of 2011 and if that is not exciting enough....check out some of the product description:

• about 8 inches long – out of dozens of parts, some as small as a millimeter. Her intricate design matches the Firefly TV series version of the ship in every detail: She was created using the show's actual CG files.

Now that is what I call sweet!

From an article in IO9 I read where the still very popular Science fiction series Firefly will once again grace the "small" screen.

The Science channel has purchased the rights to the series and will begin showing episodes March 6th at 8pm. The episodes then will be shown in proper sequence that was intended, each Sunday there after. The Science Channel is adding HD to the mix to spice things up a bit.

Firefly & Serenity in space

Hey this is neat! I was reading though the TVSquad blog entries and came across an article that was describing some of the things that astronaut Steven R. Swanson delivered to the ISS on his last shuttle mission. Among other essentials were copies of Firefly and Serenity DVDs!!! Seems Swanson is a die hard fan and just had to have the movies with him. A fan blog reporst that Steven also won over the rest of his shuttle flight astronauts during their 5 hour quarantine before the shuttle Atlantis launched earlier this month.

Firefly Reborn as Online Universe

Mark Wallace of the Wired blog reports:

The short-lived but much beloved sci-fi series Firefly will soon make an unexpected return, not as a TV show, but as a massively multiplayer online game.

Now that's shiny.

Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, announced that it's struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online.

Day Break ABC's midseason LOST replacement

First off is Day Break science fiction? hummmm Time is screwed up and now police officer Harper is caught in an apparent time loop. Sounds like good sci-fi to me! Wow, when I first heard about Day break .from an ABC blurb that said Day Break was ground hog day with a bit of die hard mixed in. I thought “ Oh yeah fat chance!” But by the third time Harper wakes up into the same day, I was seriously hook. And talk about bringing out the big guns! - car chases, fights, falls, beatings, interrogations, car crashes, thugs, hoodlums, murders, shootouts you name it.. And just who isn't involved!!

I doubt it, but I sure will watch next week. click the title to go straight to this weeks episode player online.
