... Firefly
10-11 PM SCIENCE
For anyone just discovering Joss Whedon's short-lived 2002 sci-fi Western starring Nathan Fillion during its Science run: Welcome to heartbreak. "Objects in Space" sends the cult classic out in a brilliant blaze as Serenity's crew becomes increasingly spooked by River's (Summer Glau) psychic powers and a bounty hunter skilled in physical and psychological violence infiltrates the ship to claim the loony lass. An existentially spacey thriller with philosophical heft, Firefly, with its abrupt goodbye, will dazzle you — then depress you with a profound want that will never be satisfied. Whoo-hoo!
