Tonight's Sci-Fi Listing: 7/6 - Firefly: Yes I know the Sci-fi channel is showing repeats, but I consider Firefly one of the best shows.. Also Firefly is a good example in why Sci-Fi shows should never be on a regular network. 8/7 - Stargate SG1: Avalon Pt II, I was impressed in how Browder seems to fit in the show.. So far it is starting on a good foot. This week SG1 discovers more info and discover a new enemy. 9/8 - Stargate Atlantis: Last weeks episode was awesome. I like how they use tatical nuclear weapons. Not very PC....
