You know, I honestly think Firefly is the best tv series ever. And I REALLY have to let off some steam here...

Just some of the stuff in there are very special to me. I got goosebumps just from the scene in Shindig where Inara asked why she would ever want to leave Serenity.

So needless to say the movie will be one of the biggest experiences of my geeky life. I really had to hold back a lot from not watching the trailer everyone else was so psyched about.

Because I wanted to be as spoilerfree as I possibly could I did not watch the trailer. I said to myself if the movie is that impressive just from a trailer, how much more impressive will it be with enough story background and the rest.

Despite that argument I really needed to hold myself, consoling myself with that train of thought.

But then poeple saw the screening, went to the "Ive seen Serenity" forum but then put some REALLY big spoilers in the title thread. Wich then could be seen in the row of 'latest discussion' threads summary on the main page.. So basically all my effort to remain spoilerfree was pointles...

I know no one did it on purpose,, but that doesn't take away the effect...

I feel for you, Ive tried hard to stay spoiler free and luckily I still dont know any major plot points but I already know much more than I would like to and its just gonna get harder and harder.

I sometimes forget that there is still five months to go it seems like so many people have seen the film. Obviously what happened to you was unfortunate and 99% of browncoats who have seen the film are keeping the spoilers very well conceiled. The main problems for me is on other movie or genre sites where people seem to be much more careless.

As regards to what they were talking about in the Browncoat site, what can i say, it's Joss Whedon.

See, I know more or less nothin' and I feel left out

I watched the trailer really really closely - I wouldn't say I know more about the story than I did befoer I saw it - I know what the story will look like (there's one shot of River and I LOVE the way it's lit).

But - yeah, I'm staying here 'till October (when it opens here God willing) and anything I read in reviews I'm not letting sink in - lots of Marajana and booze while reading helps - truely - that way I probably know stuff but so long as I don't think about it then I don't.......know.......stuff.

Not only are there MAJOR spoilers, but there is a lot of BS going on too. I saw and LOVED the movie last night in Seattle. The 'Versal board is not the place to be if you want to be "in the dark" about the story.

The only "spoiler" I have is that the movie was Gorram Beautiful! :)

The only thing I'd add to this very good bit of advice is that I saw several fake spoilers in subject lines. You may not know what you think you know. But then again, there's over 4 months to recut the movie too so maybe I don't know what I think I know.

I will say too that the Serenity Board has had a lot of trouble with trolls over the last week or so. Most likely, those posting the spoilers in the thread titles are doing it purely out of spite. The regulars over there know better.

Problem is that the boards are a bit under-staffed, and we all know how skilled diligent trolls are at making nuisances of themselves.

Still, if someone who's already seen the movie could keep an eye on the Serenity Board and let us spoilerphobes know when it's safe to go back, we'd be immensely grateful.

Some people are such losers.

...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...

I was thinking the same thing until yesterday, but really the trailer is pretty much spoiler free in terms of the major plot points. We don't know who the new guy is for sure even if we have a pretty good notion what he's up to. We knew River had physical skills - who could forget her posture during her eavesdropping in OiS? Everything else could have just as easily happened in the series at one time or another.

But if you're saying that they're talking about the ending over there, then it's good I went in yesterday to post about the MN Browncoats Yahoo Group.

I can handle anything else - just don't tell me how it ends.

I frequent the OB quite a bit, and was lucky enough to see the screening and can say that if you are careful you can avoid the spoilers. Basically, just skip over the home page and go straight to the General Discussion board which is still spoiler free.

Most of the threads in the 'I've seen Serenity' forum were made unaware that they were getting posted to the home page as 'recent discussions.' No one was spoilling it maliciously - just some truly idiotic posters that you can avoid by glazing over that section of the home page.
