I'm from Sydney.
Good to see so many of you on this thread.
I noticed last night that 7 decided (maybe you guys made enough noise to persuade them) to play the first half of Serenity. At last, some sanity.
The only gripe I have is they don't bother playing it in wide screen. Just doesnt' look the same as on the DVD. I'm buying a second copy as a Christmas present. I love it.
"Now I can't get down".
Good to read you all.

Perth, and I've got quite a few friends here who watch it as well.

Sydney.
First saw the show on SCI-FI Channel while visiting Canada earlier in the year. Only saw one episode, but went out the next day & bought the (Region 1) Box Set. Got back home & a few weeks later the Region 4 box set came out!
Have held a few Firefly evenings & converted quite a few people, who in turn have converted quite a few people. I also own a piece of Serenity (one of the 2 comm mikes).
Can't wait for the movie!

You know, I went out and bought a wide screen TV the day my Firefly DVD box set arrived. I just had to.
You guys downloading and watching the new Battlestar Galactica series? I have the mini series and the first 5 episodes of season 1 already and I tell ya its pretty damn good.

Luck and a disregard for the value of money.
I saw the comm mike advertised on eBay. It was being sold by the wife of a set worker who had collected it on invitation when the sets were being destroyed. She kept the other one, and also owns the compression coil shown in OUT OF GAS. I haven't put it in a display case yet, but I did post pics to the Blue Sun room a few months ago. You can be happy that a piece of Serenity lives in Australia. I am!

mmmmmm... Widescreen... I go to bed and get up thinking about one. I know how you feel. I'm saving up. Gonna give me a hernia lugging one home, but what the heck.
Will try to catch Battlestar, but gotta tear myself away from Firefly first.

Funny you mentioned Canada. I have a friend there who writes film reviews part-time. He missed the thing completely and didn't bother to find out. I sent him 3 million pages of email on it, So he's now fully briefed.
I'm checking in on him at intervals to make sure he gets it.
Very impressed with the collectibles you mentioned. The compression coild as well? You could start a Firefly display museum.

Wow, one of the comm mikes here Down Under? Good work on grabbing that! (I wish I had that much disregard for the value of money 
) Perhaps if we ever get some sort of Firefly convention happening in Australia you could invite the cast to have a visit with it 
Any chance you could point us toward the photos you talked about? Perhaps post a link?
Re: Battlestar Galactica - if you're talking the new mini-series/series... I think Ch 10 is going to show them next year, I vaguely remember seeing something about it on their "Coming in 2005" ads. Keep an eye out!
'Yes... this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "this land".' 'I think we should call it your grave.' 'Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!'
