Zia, how did you happen upon the dvd's, were they recommended, or a gift, ect.?
Did you get all teary as you watched Objects in Space for the first time( I did), knowin' it was the last NEW Firefly you'd be seein' for a while?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome wagon Chrisisall



actually I had some friends who raved about the show while it was on. I didnt get a chance to see it as I could never find out when it was on. When I found out it was on DVD I saved up the money and got it off Amazon. I was glad to find out my investment paid off.

as for Objects in Space and getting dewey eyed... I'll tell you when I finally see it. I have four episodes to go and I am holding off so I can stretch out my pleasure for the longest possible period of time.

oo a welcome wagon *gets out the pie*

Welcome to the board Zia. Glad to have you w/ us.

Looks like my compatriots have already filled you in on the major news so I will not repeat it.

Just so you know besides the comics in July there is a novelization of the movie due out in Sept, there is talk of two novels for late this year or sometime next year, and there are action figures to come out around the time of the movie. There will also be a copy of the screenplay and a collectors magazine, both probably due out in the fall.

Here's links to the issue that's coming out in July. Looks like you can have your Mal cover. But I'm getting Jayne for sure!

I have heard of a place where humans do battle in a ring of Jell-O.

Hi Zia - More good News! You have four and a half more episodes to go sorta, kinda - one of my favorites never made it from script to screen, but it still makes an excellant read. I'm sure after seeing the other episodes you'll be able to "see" this one too.

Can another Noob join in?
Well, I'm 19, and heard friends rant about it over the summer, but I'm not a big sci-fi fan, so I didn't pay any attention really. But a friend brought the DVDs over about two weeks ago, and thats all that's been on our TV. I was blown away. The Western twist, the characters, the dialogue, and of course, the Beatles reference before the credits of the pilot helped.
I caved and bought them one week ago today. I went through most of them at an alarming rate, but there was always people missing so eps had to be re-shown. I've seen Serenity and The Train Job 3 times already. I was set to watch Objects in Space on saturday, but left it 'till Sunday 'cos I wasn't ready to be finished. :(
Thanks for all the information...

I think I will add cursing and the hurling about of things to my repertoire.

Welcome to the boards! I never saw it when it was on television either because I'm not really into Sci/Fi. I went to my first convention last week to see Jewel and over half the people at the Shindig were people who got into it after it was off the air.

If you live on the east coast, Joss is going to be at Wizard Con in Philly, June 4th!

damn thats a hard one. very very very hard. I loved every eppisode pretty much. But I guess if I had to I would say War Stories. I dunno why but just about everything in it was awesomly cool. *shrug* I be a geek ya sure.
