The First Few Episodes of Firefly Were Aired out of Order Because Fox Television Executives Are Idiots
I say that Fox television executives “are” idiots, instead of “were,” because they are still doing this trick despite the fact that they killed one of the most promising series of all time with their incompetence.
The recent series Almost Human was aired out of order too, which resulted in wildly changing character arcs and interpersonal relationships. One week they hated each other, the next week they were working together, then they hated each other again.
I thought to myself, are these writers complete idiots? No, the writers of Almost Human were fine, it was the Fox Television executives that are imbeciles because they chose to air the episodes out of order.
The Firefly botch
I remember tuning in to see a new Fox TV series in 2002 when Firefly debuted the one-hour episode “The Train Job” and wondering why the universe, and the reason these people were together, were not explained at all. It was confusing and terrible. I incorrectly assumed that the series was inane.
