Watched most of the Sci-Fi marathon yesterday and was immediately bitten.
Can't believe I haven't seen it before.
Hell,I even live in Canton (ohio,that is)
Going out today and buying the disc set.
Has anyone or is anyone going to write a fiction series like shadowrun/star wars/star trek ect...ect...???
Graphic novel maybe??
Now that I'm hooked other than the up coming movie how'm I gonna get my fix??

Comics we got, theres a few books, mostly non fiction, on firefly.
A graphic or even regular novel would be very shiny...
Hopefully its in the works...

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you Beeeer Milkshakes!

Actually, i heard there was going to be one. You'll hear from one of the fans about it or the main site.

I wish I knew the date on it...

Welcome to the site Tagg, and welcome to the browncoat ranks! Glad to have you with us.

Wow, did you pick a great time to get hooked on Firefly. The movie, "Serenity" hits theatres this Friday, Sept 30th!!! We have a 3 issue comic series that is going into second printings, action figures, a trading card set that just came out, an official movie magazine, the Serenity Visual Companion is in bookstores as is the novelization, there is talk of more novels in the near future, and our future is looking pretty shiny. Not like it did for those of us that have been around since the beginning.

Now that you are a fan, you are obligated to introduce as many friends, family & co-workers as you possibly can to the show, get them to buy the DVD set, and get them & yourselves into theatres this coming weekend to see the movie.

Welcome to the madness my friend. There is no cure.

And we wouldn't have it any other way!

Welcome aboard, tagg!

Like BC1 said, your first mission is to get as many people as you can into the theaters this weekend. See the movie more than once, and invite everyone you know to go with you!

Congratulations and welcome.

Since you're new, I thought I'd mention a few other things you'll want to check out.

Nathan Town's _Mosquito_ parody is ruttin' hilarious.

_The Signal_ podcast is extremely popular and features interviews with many of the Big Damn Heroes (as we call our cast) as well as articles on all things Firefly.

There's about a million and one Cafepress sites with shiny Firefly/Serenity gear.

There's a documentary in the works (release date this November), called _Done the Impossible_, about the role of fans in resurrecting Firefly. www.DoneTheImpossible.com

Michelle Dockrey with the band Escape Key has written a really shiny song called "Mal's Song." Check it out.

Finally, (shameless plug here) my band, the Bedlam Bards, is working on an album called _On the Drift: Music Inspired by Firefly and Serenity_. It's also out this November. Check my signature for MP3 samples.

I'm in the same boat as the original poster. Just saw FF for the 1st time, all the episodes back to back. I'm completely and totally blown away. I can't believe I'm only just recently becoming aware of this show's existence. I'm a lifelong diehard trekkie and Star Wars geek, a fan of scifi in general, and I don't give my fan devotion away easily. FF is easily the smartest, most creative show I've seen in years. The characters are fascinating, and they have a gritty edge on them ~a refreshing change from the standard and unoriginal formula of morally upright good guys who can do no wrong. The storyline is brilliant, and each script is clever and witty. The dialogue is superb. It's the first really original thing I've seen in years. Not surprised the networks killed it before it even got off the ground. If I'd only known, I'd certainly have put my energy into helping save the series.

I never was much of a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel, just not my cup of tea (actually have never even seen any episodes). After seeing what Joss Whedon can do with a genre I love, I may have to go back and take another look. He just earned himself a place in my mind ranking up there with Spielberg and Lucas. Like I said, I'm blown away!

P.S.-- I'm chomping at the bit here waiting for the movie to open up. I'll be one of the first in line, no doubt about it.

No such thing as gravity. The Earth just sucks.

I also just discovered firefly yesterday during SciFi's all day run. I thouroughly enjoyed the show and cant wait for the film. It's sad to know that there will be no new episodes however. I cant beleive how captivating the show was. I guess good things dont last.....

Actually, if you guys only saw the marathon on SciFi yesterday, you only saw 9 of 14 episodes. There's still 5 more episodes to be had!

Go buy the DVD on Amazon.com! Best $29.99 you'll ever spend.

Wellcome to the site! Always good to have new Browncoats joining the fold, even years later--just shows how much of a market there really is for this kind of show. And that makes FOX look all manner of stupid.

Please do! Joss' shows are always difficult to "sell," so once you actually see them you may find they're your cup of tea after all. "Buffy" is good throughout its run, but the second season is a definite step up from the first, so if the early eps don't quite gel for you, stick around until the end of season two. And if you find "Buffy" isn't your cup of tea after all, you should still take a look at "Angel." Different show, different tea. I think that made sense.

Wellcome again, and I'll see you at the theaters (metaphorically, of course)!
