welcome to my universe chrisisall. ain't very lonesome (cuz I ain't ~or I isn't~ the only one thinking like this ~ like you). it'll soon get crowded (luminalosity will join us ~ inevitable fate of those who love firefly first).

the diehards will find themselves all alone when the smoke clears. we're in the aftermath of the fanboi thing. love-it and leave-it scifi fans.

And me with my Firefly DVD's still loaned out.

The BDM likely won't be in a local theater next week, and I won't have my DVD's to console me! I think I may be buying a second copy before all is said and done.

oooh I applaud your courage at loaning them out...(she whispers as she clutches the tiny box to her)... I have to buy other ppl copies as I cannot part with my dvds (NOT ANY OF THEM, not just FF ones) cus so many ppl just do not treat cds or dvds with the proper care and respect...so I have a basic no loan policy...

last night I began the search for the commentaries.. had not listened before.. so it is a joy to find and discover them now...though it is a WEE bit annoying that they talk over the stories...lol I keep getting distracted by the pictures and I want to hear the story....lol

ladies/gentlemen.. may I just add curse your sudden and inevitable ability to endear yourselves to me...

I know just where you're coming from Chindi....

One of the people to whom I loaned FF mistreated my first season of Buffy. I wouldn't let them borrow the other seasons. But I so strongly felt the need to infect the world with this series that I was willing to risk mutilation of my beloved DVD set just to get a few more fans.


Incidentally, of the 3 families to whom I've loaned my sets, 1 of them has bought their own copy, one has it on their "when I'm not so poor I can't eat" to-buy list, and the third is the aforementioned DVD hostage holders. Plus, all 9 of them went opening night to see Serenity with me, and all of em loved it. So my loaning-outage was not in vain.


EDIT: Hello, spelling error goodness.

Oooh good for you Haidon.. lotsa converts..
I never thought your loaning was frivolous nor in vain.. not in the least.. no, sigh, rather I admit my own selfish nature with that very post!

HA!

and I must add here how very happy I am to be here sharing my hopeless but inevitable obsession with those that get it!

so COMFY here on Serenity... I love this ship..



Chindi, having a good day.

Oddly enough I feel inspired and optimistic about Serenity's future, almost like the worst (box office reality) is over and I can breath again. And since no one died... wait a minute... wah wah wah!!! Liminal, pass me that pipe! Uncle Piz needs a mello-tive!

Start of scene (everyone standing in cargo bay with door down.)

Inara: Let's go to Persephone.

*Mal thinks about it*
Mal: No, let's not go to Persephone. It's a silly place.

Kaylee: Oh look at the fluffy white bunny rabbit. It's so cute.

*fluffy white bunny rabbit savagely leaps at Jayne's throat and latches on*

Wash: Wow, look at that sudden but . . . evitable? betrayal. Is evitable even a word?

River: It's an angry rabbit. It hates . . . and kills . . .

Jayne: Gorrammit, don't just stand there! Somebody get this rabbit off of me!

*Zoe shoots rabbit off with deadly accuracy. It falls to ground twitching. So does Jayne*

*Simon goes to Jayne, checks the body*

Simon: He's dead.

Kaylee: Poor rabbit. What did it ever do to anybody?

Jayne: I'm not dead.

*Others load Jayne's body on to mule, ignoring continuing protests that he's dead, then drive it off the ship*

End scene.

Go away or I will insult you a second time!

Yes, I do. I wanted to see the trilogy but I don't think that we're going to make it. I still hope that I am wrong. There's a small part of me that can't let go of my pre-movie release optimism. I'd like to see the end of the story.

Multiple sets can be a good thing for the viral conversion. Then you're never without one. Ridiculous, huh.

Allo? Allo? Is there a random Queen in the thread?
