Two months since I discovered Firefly

I downloaded Firefly (illegally) two months ago and fell in love completely. Since then I have bought the tv-series and the movie on DVD and they are all great. Trying to fill the heartbreaking gap the cancellation created I even went and bought the comic and that one was not so great. I didn't like the graphics and the storytelling was off. I realize that it's almost impossible to translate a tv-episode/movie to a comic and tried to come up with examples that had been succesful in the past and could only come up with a couple of very good-looking issues of The X-files-comic (the ones about the first episodes) and a graphic novel made from the Alien-movie by Walt Simonson but that was all. So I have to give Joss Whedon right when he says he only wants to continue the Firefly-saga together with the actors in some way. Without them the magic is gone. (But I still love fan fiction... )

Diving in Head First

Hey all! Trying to make a splash upon entering the 'Verse. Just started watching a few months ago, and after several viewings of every episode, I've tried to move on to other things, to realize that Firefly's fate is sealed, and to cope with the stupidity of Fox depriving us of greatness. This attempt at denial has failed, however, and instead, I'm volunteering to fight the evil Alliance. We can bring our beloved show back if we try hard enough, and gorramit, I'm going to do my part. I am trying to set up a meeting and screening of Serenity in Milwaukee, WI. Anyone in the area should let me know, I need a lot of people to come to make it a success. If we can get it done, we may even be able to see the BDM on an 80 foot screen! Proud to be a member of the best fan group in the 'Verse.
