EW.com is the Devil, Firefly Fans Bitterly Disappointed

I was perusing CNN.com and saw a link to an EW.com story that said, "'Firefly' returning to cable; Fillion says he'd play Mal again".

Oh great day in the morning!

Then the hammer fell. 

"The Science Channel has acquired the rights to the cult-hit and will air the series in its short-lived entirety, plus some new extras."

No new series, no further adventures of Serenity and her crew.  Just a headline designed to grab the attention of nerdom.   A collective 'Nooooooooooo' could be heard from sci-fi fans everywhere.

It's probably just as well.  The actors have moved on, the sets have been struck and lightning can rarely be captured twice.   But still, EW, you suck.
