A professor has been censored twice, reported to the "threat assessment team," and threatened with criminal charges because of satirical postings on his office door. Campus police at the University of Wisconsin–Stout (UWS) censored theater professor James Miller's poster depicting a quotation from actor Nathan Fillion's character in the television series Firefly, and the police chief threatened Miller with criminal charges for disorderly conduct.
Many of us are disappointed that Firefly only ran 14 episodes of Fox.
But what if that was a good thing?
"Firefly" will dominate the airwaves every Sunday with an encore episode of the previous week airing 9pm ET to be followed by the network premiere of the next episode in the series airing at 10pm ET.
As a special treat for "Firefly" fans, star of Science Channel's "Sci-Fi Science," and the cofounder of string field theory, Dr. Michio Kaku, will be commentating on the science behind "Firefly" for each episode. From terraforming, to anti-matter, Kaku will be explaining why the science fiction featured in the show really isn't that far from science fact.

Think you were upset when Fox canceled "Firefly?"
Just imagine how it felt to be Joss Whedon.
Whedon says that when Fox cut down his series after just 14 episodes, that his despair was so great that is cut off his flow of ideas and he couldn't return to create new episodic television for several years.
Firefly: Still Flying: A Celebration of Joss Whedon's Acclaimed Television Series is another collection of photos, production stills and artworks, collected cast interview excerpts, details on some of the props and available merchandise, a tribute to the die-hard fans who comprise the Browncoats, and more.
QMx continues to bring us the loveliest and most lovingly researched and designed collectibles scifi fans can hope to obtain, and Serenity: Atlas of the Verse is one more gem in the long line of quality Firefly/Serenity merchandise they've provided over the years.
This summer, HitFix television blogger Alan Sepinwall is looking back at Joss Whedon's "Firefly."
Sepinwall is looking at one episode per week in the intended viewing order and kicked things off this week with his thoughts on the pilot episode, "Serenity."
The Trader's Guild Association has issued this comprehensive guide to the New Canaan run: The Atlas of The Verse, Volume One.
Firefly Executive Producer Tim Minear wrote an intro, and Serenity graphic designer Geoffrey Mandel acted as design consultant. It's a large-format 26-page atlas that's sure to please fans and collectors alike!
If you need a gift for the "Firefly" fan who has everything, you might be interested in the Catching Serenity t-shirt.
Fans of "Firefly" will be able to revisit the Verse in an upcoming short story collection, which includes an entry by long-time Mutant Enemy scribe, Jane Espenson.
