When:
Wednesday, April 20, 2005 from 7:00 PM
Where:
Waterside Hotel

The only gripe I have is they don't bother playing it in wide screen. Just doesnt' look the same as on the DVD.
Wow! they didnt air in widescreen?....
gorram idiots..
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.
Calhoun,
I just remembered this conversation from months ago, when you mentioned Battlestar Galactica and how good it was. I remember not being too convinced at the time, but now, I just want to say, you were absolutely right. I love BG. I kept thinking "It's going to disappoint me any minute now", but I'm glued to it every week. I just went out and bought the pilot disc for more than I should pay.
I also got me a widescreen TV as mentioned so long ago. Only a small 66cm, but nice. Did get me a few scratches and bumps just putting the damn purpose-built cabinet together, but it's so nice to watch this stuff on.
Anyway, to confirm that you were right about Battlestar. I wanted to get the whole season, but as usual, EasyDVD said "It's not in stock, but if you fork out 95 bucks now, we'll order it in for you". I hate that.

Thanks for your confirmation.
I go so far as to say BSG is the second all time best show ever! close on the heels of Firefly.
After Firefly ended there was a huge, long void in quality TV, especially quality Sci Fi TV. Even though it still pains me to think Firefly on TV is over I am happy now Battlestar is around. I hope it continues for many good, long seasons.
Calhoun out.

Yeah,
It's very sad about Firefly. I sure hope the movie's good, but it's still not the same as a long running series.
Also, big hello to everyone who's just joined this thread. I'm new here too, so it's nice to see so many more Firefly fans.

So. Gorram Jealous.
Sometimes I wish I was a Sydney-sider...
BTW, nice to see that there are still a few Aussies active around here! I'd sincerely recommend that everyone go and join the new Yahoo Browncoats group http://movies.groups .yahoo.com/group/browncoats_downunder/ because Meetup.com will go Hyperspace sometime soon (ie, we'll have to pay to use it...)
So... what have you folk been up to? 
And for anyone who needs to know, the new JB Hi-Fi on Bourke St, Melbourne (near Target, between Swanston and Russell Streets) has the Firefly DVD set for about $58.
'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!'

I was chatting with a US Browncoat about an idea they are thinking of
implimenting for a shindig, and it sounds pretty awesome...
definately something we could do down here.
You're familiar with Paint Ball or Skirmish? Two teams, armed to the
teeth with a gun loaded with paint balls, battle it out for
supremacy - The Independants vs The Alliance.
It'd also be a cool fun way of getting newbies along!
There's a bunch of paint ball places around and about, but the most
affordable ones are in Sydney. Eg:
http://www.paintball.com.au/index.html in West Ryde
We could make a full weekend out of it - I can organise cheap group
indoor accomodation (self catering) in a bush setting through some
networks I have - so we could have screenings and a full-blown
shindig in the evenings.
Bearing in mind that it'll take some time to organise (and I wanna
come too), how does Queens Birthday Weekend in June sound?
Head over to http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/browncoats_downunder/ for more discussion.

I'm here in Brisbane, and Sydney is just too far away. Too bad there are no Brisbane screenings.
