You think you had troubles? For my birthday, my wife got me the Visual Companion, the Firefly RPG, and the novelization of the film -- in early September!

And yeah, now that I've seen the movie, they are wicked cool.

I really can kill you with my brain.

Here is a 12 step plan that I wrote many moons ago, hope it helps!

Firefly: a 12 step program for withdrawal

step 1: Admitted you were powerless over decisions made by Fox executives.

step 2: Came to believe that Joss could restore our faith in mass media. Or at least get a movie out to us. AND have a reeaalllly long gag reel on the Serenity DVD when it comes out.

step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Joss as we understood him.

step 4: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the tv listings.

step 5: Admitted to God, ourselves and everyone on FFF.net the exact nature of Fox's wrongs.

step 6: Were entirely ready to have Joss remove the defects (if any) of the movie during editing and post production.

step 7: Humbly asked Joss to let Mal be nekkid at least once in the BDM.

step 8: Made a list of all persons who have not seen Firefly and became willing to tie them up if need be to..."introduce" them to the show.

step 9: Made direct converts of such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. And maybe even then, if necessary.

step 10: Continued to do guerilla marketing techniques in Best Buy, Borders Books, Circuit City and assorted video rental outlets, and when the DVD was hidden away, promptly displayed it at eye level.

step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our freakish knowledge of every iota of each episode so as to win the Firefly trivia contests at each shindig.

step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry The Message (and all the other episodes) to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. While simultaneously attempting to actually live a life, work and pay bills when possible.

I'm going to add cursing and the hurling about of things to my repertoire.

Ohhhhhhhmmmmmm, Ohhhhhmmmmmmm, now I feel so much more relaxed and empowered. I will be 12-stepping for the next several months. Thanks for pointing me to the locals!

On another note, have we started a thread counting the number of times we have all PERSONALLY seen the BDM? I am at 6 times, with three on opening day. Anyone else beat that?

Unfortunately for me I read the book up to the script portion. Then later proceeded to read the end of it.

I had only disd it to confirm an lj spoiler i looked up months ago.

I'm very bad when it comes to temptation.

I'm at 6 too, including 3x on opening day. Great minds must think alike.
