Hail and farewell to the Firefly: Immediate Assistance campaign (the button to their site that appeared ever-so-briefly on the right side of this page is now gone). They fought the good fight to help keep Joss Whedon's compelling, promising new show on the air, but it appears there will be no last-minute reprieve for the crew of Serenity.

That's a damn shame. Firefly had a great cast with wonderful chemistry, intriguing plots, and a refreshing take on the space genre. It didn't get the chance it deserved, falling prey instead to Fox's penchant for smothering sci-fi shows in the cradle. Its successor in the 9 pm Friday timeslot, the Miami Vice retread Fastlane, shows what that network is really about these days.

So long, Firefly. You'll be missed.
