welcome to the madhouse and well done for getting here before the rush after the BDM (big damn movie). Lordy only knows what this place will be like then.
Nice to meet you, big hugs and pop over to the Serenity2 thread.

Welcome!
We waited for you. And we wondered how long those DVDs were gonna sit on top of your tv.
When you run out of episodes, don't forget the commentary. Also, there's commentary on some episodes, accessible through the language menu, and there's an Easter Egg.
To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks. --Robt. Heinlein

You're not alone, though my sin is perhaps more grave than being merely unaware of Firefly's sublimity: I'd forgotten how good it was.
And then a couple of weeks ago I was flipping and landed on something familiar looking on SciFi...I said, hey, that looks like Firefly. Then it became apparent to me that they were not showing a clip from an episode, not a made-for-SciFi TV movie, but indeed a trailer for a soon-to-be released Firefly major motion picture.
Let me tell you, it was like someone hit me in the back of the head with a sledgehammer. Only it was an angel-wielded silken sledgehammer of Recollection, Insight, and Joy. In short, I very nearly exploded in my pants.
The joy was only briefly interrupted when, upon arriving at the big-name video store some hours later, I found that yes, they carried the DVD set, but it was sold out. Sold Out. A boxed set almost two years from initial release, swept from the shelves. Someone out there must sold their soul to the devil, taken one for the team, because this is all just too good to be true. Especially the part about how the movie looks, well, just so good. Whichever one of you made the sale, let me know so I can send you a "sympathy and thanks" card.
Back in the early days, I got an email from a friend that contained a PS along the lines of "BTW, I hear this Firefly show is supposed to be terrific. Have you seen it?" I replied, without hesitation, "oh yeah" in the same (digitally) breathless tone as John Kinsella in "Field of Dreams."
So my apologies for, if not losing the faith, then forgetting it. But I'm making up for lost time: my "Fighting Elves" shirt will be here in time for the premiere.

I'm now almost finished with the series and I am so very sad that there will be no more to come. I honestly cannot fathom how Fox could cancel this show. It is so well done. The acting, the cinematography, the writing are each among the best on television. Flipping the channels to see junk like The Simple Life on Fox instead of Firefly truly baffles me.
Howdy, I’m new too. Feels very comfy here.
Have come to the conclusion that f*x’s motto is not “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” but “Hell with the baby, just keep the stinken bathwater”.
Though I’m a fan of (good) sci-fi and stumbled into the frigintastic world of Firefly thru that door, the really amazing thing to me is how the qualities that make Firefly the special creature it is cross so many boundaries and borders of taste. This is the only show I’ve ever seen that I truly can’t conceive how anyone who saw it would not love it, or at least have to admit they liked it.
Like you, I was (still am) just totaled upon discovering after the first entrees that there was only a partial serving cooked. There is of course, Serenity nearing sunrise, and then the sequals, but still…
Surely there is unanimous opinion here that it would be a Grand thing for the show to be picked back up (even if by f*x) and though the naysayers may be correct,perhaps if the groundswell becomes the tidalwave it appears to becoming…
Hope springs eternal.

There's nothing wrong with me that some expensive medication can't prolong. (Doc, ya got generic?)
