May I suggest starting with the beginning of the episodes on the DVD, where it flashes everyone's face, then going with some Jayne moments as an opening. Chain of command, I like smacking 'em, twice nothin' carry the nothing, who ordered the dead guy etc I realize it doesn't introduce all the characters but it certainly will show the humor. I would make the video intro only maybe 1 minute though, 5 minutes is very long when you really don't know what you're looking at but it will work as an attention grabber. Also if you can find the opening from when the show was on TV when Ron Glass spoke about the Earth being used up etc, that would be a good lead in also. I'm with Knibblet in that you don't want your presentation to be mostly video but also, let's face it, it's a visual world today too. The OOG party scene is a great one to show and some of the other "dinner" scenes where they're all together. Can you dress in costume or perhaps wear a Firefly t-shirt? I believe you will have no trouble talking about why you love Firefly. List your reasons and then do short video clips as examples of the reasons. Someone has probably said that already, sorry I only skimmed the responses. Hey, even if you only convert 2 friends, then they tell 2 friends and so on and so on. Good luck!

You could then show the opening monologue (which you'll have to download from the 'net, since it's not on the DVDs) as proof that this is the Western element's basis.

Being a new fan...I didn't realize that there was something not on the DVDs...can you point me in the right direction to download this?

Thanks,
Mike

Well maybe I'm not a fancy gentleman like you, with your...very fine hat. But I do business...we're here for business.

Google "Hello Cowgirl" for rips from the TV eps
You can also Google "Whoa Good Myth" for transcipts and other stuff. (should be the first link listed in both cases)

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.
