I'm not quite sure if this is entirely the correct location, but given you don't seem to have a specified hazing area for the new folks, I thought that this would be as good a place as any to post. As the title implies, I'm something of a recent convert to to Firefly. A Browncoat, ne? I was aware of the series existing for the better part of a year, but hadn't had the pleasure of viewing an episode until a month ago. Given the series' short life, and the fact that SF is vilified in this nation with post-midnight scheduling, it was most fortuitous that I was working night shift when I first saw it.
How much of a fool was I to wait that long?
I've since gone out, invested in the DVDs, which might I add was the first purchase I've made without hesitation in a long time, and made sure I've seen all the episodes. (And most of the other goodies)
As a late start I'm sure I've missed all the discussions first-time round. Things like 'Where did I see Nathan Fillion or Gina Torres before', laughing to myself as some random Chinese is thrown in, or the numerous Star Wars references in Objects in Space. Yes, I think it was wrong for the network to pull the show so early, as there some much obvious potential for further development. Yes, I know there's Serenity, and that Serenity isn't Firefly.
So, I guess what I'm saying, more than anything else, is excuse my tardiness to the party.

Go check out the images inthe bluesun room for starters.
I am actually a casual poster over here. I spend most of my time on the Original Firefly board.
Others here may be better at the directions than I am.

What gave it away? The Queen's English? My natural charm? The fact that it's being shown at 1am everywhere in the country except my place, where it's on whenever I gorram feel like?
No, tell me what hinted as to my nationality.

The "post-midnight scheduling" and the whole "heard about it a while ago, never saw it until now and just bought the dvds". Pretty much my story too.

Hey Snowguard!
Welcome to Fireflyfans! Always good to meet a new browncoat. People are dropping in periodically so don't worry about starting a thread topic that may have already been talked about before, chances are that most people missed it the first time around and were wondering the same thing themselves.
If you're interested in digging through the archives there's some places to start. A little bit down the far right column of the main page there's a section titled, Message Boards. Each of these boards has it's own archives section. One way to get at those is to click on a particular board and scroll down to the bottom and click on the archived threads link.
For General Discussion, where most of the threads are located, the archive list is at:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/threadlist.asp?b=2&a=1
This might take a long time to load, dependant on your connection speed, since there is stuff going back to May 2002.
But the best way is just to post your own thread.
There are three kinds of people: fighters, lovers, and screamers.
