Welcome! I think it is thrilling that new fans have found their way here...

now it is very important that you not be disappointed that Firefly had too few episodes,
and Serenity is already disappearing from the theaters,
when you haven't yet watched the infamous River Tam interviews from the Academy
OR read the comics....

check out my signiture for more information...

**********************************************
watch the R. Tam Session vids: http://www.hittarivertam.nu/
and buy the 'Serenity' comics published by Dark Horse,
and have you joined the Browncoats yet?

Funnily enough, it was not Serenity that got me into FireFly, but it was around about the same time. To celebrate the release of Serenity, Firefly was shown back-to-back in its entirity (and in order) on the Uk SciFi channel, which i happened to watch. I enjoyed it so much, I went out and got the DVD's the very next day, and luckily for me Serenity was out a week later. I'm actually kinda glad i only discovered Firefly very recently, it meant i did not have to sit through the long and painfull wait for Serenity that i'm sure many a Browncoat had to endure!

So ive only been a browncoat for a few months,But i love it!

-------Huge Fan of:---------
Firefly\Serenity
Farscape

Q: Why don't we just raise the defensive shields?
A: A superb suggestion with just two major drawbacks. One, we don't have any defensive shields. And two, we don't have any defensive shields. Technically speaking thats only one flaw, but it was such a big one I thought I mention it twice.

I've been around here a couple of weeks now, and I've posted about being new in another thread, but yes, I'm a newly converted browncoat!

Been here since the BDM.
Saw it the weekend it came out, became hooked, bought the DVDs the next Monday, and have wathced them several times each.
Incidentally, when I went to see the movie, my friends and I couldn't decide wether to see Serenity or History of Violence. I can only imagine how different my life would be if we didn't pick Serenity. :blush

I've been fighting for the Independents for a while now and I still don't understand the situation. Do networks even watch the shows before making decisions? I've seen too many people watch an episode or the movie and become instant fans to believe the people at FOX didn't like Firefly as opposed to the rest of the crap they air. Reality television is a joke and the dismal animated comedies are long since seen. I used to watch the Simpsons and Family Guy and King of the Hill, etc... until I saw them all. Now they just bore the hell out of me. The same goes with every other sitcom they have: Can someone say 'Home Improvement'? That's been dead for half a decade plus change- I just can't comprehend why this crap remains televised while the greatest show in the history of television (bias aside) gets trashed. It's illogical, better yet, absent of logic.

Anyway, ranting ceased.

New here, and new to Firefly/Serenity in general. Love it all though...I haven't been this enthused over a show since Macross, and that was back in the 80's...feels good to get excited over a story and characters again. I've been a lurker here for a while myself...not feeling "worthy" of posting along with you long-time Browncoats...but, what the hey...You all seem like a bunch of cool folks.

And if you don't want me around these parts...please...whatever you do...don't strip me naked and throw me to Inara, Kaylee, and River...

My husband read a review about "Serenity" and it mentioned that a lot of the Trekkies fell in love with Firefly. Extremely doubtful anything could be better than Star Trek, I reluctantly rented the first DVD of Firefly. The rest as they say is history.

The husband and I are hooked, and I will be working on recruiting mom over Thanksgiving.

I've been lurking on the site for a couple of weeks now. Thanks for the welcome.

Now I have to go practice my chinese...
