I use it as a reference by episode, and... Yeah, I've been known to call people a monkey's butt every so often...

It's all very problematic. I think it would be great if I could erase my memory of Firefly so I could rediscover the series again but, I think I would rather erase my memory of Fox. What helped was a list displayed in another discussion of what people's favorite science fiction books were. I haven't read much scifi in a long time. I went out and bought Ender's Game. I had never read it. I enjoyed it. It helped fill big d*** hole left by no more Firefly. I've watched the series twice through and saw the BDM twice. I preordered the BDM the day the availability date was announced. I can't wait. Oh no! The pain is building again. I can't play the game any more. The buggers aren't the enemy. The teachers aren't the enemy. Fox is the enemy. I'm off to buy another book.
So many worlds. So little time.

Melcrose! Welcome aboard.
Whatever you do, don't see 'Serenity' alone. It's best with someone to cling to during the scary parts.
And yes, what you're going through is perfectly normal. We've all gone through it, and have failed numerous 12 step programs to get us over it!

I don't drink or do drugs, should I start? :)
Thanks to all, I'm feeling much better. I'm at the point now where it only takes me a few hours to fall asleep. I keep thinking about winning the lottery and getting Joss and the gang back together. HOW GREAT would it be to say "here Joss, 15 million, no strings attached. NOW GO MAKE MORE EPISODES!"
ah.. dreams..
(How much did it cost for that season, anyway? Anyone know?)

Think it took me longer to post. I still have the blues. I felt also that I needed help. What is it about this series that held me so. I don't know. And, as did you, I was, well, even watching the series after 3 times still welling up when I know it's to an end. That is so weird too. I thought that if it were a money thing that if I wond the lottery, I would give money to have the show on again.
Read some of the Fics. It helps a little. That is were I am now and watching the series for the fourth time, counting the days until Serenity is released.
Hwoon dahns for cancelling the show.
and don't forget to call him "Sir." He likes that.

Here's how it is, preacherman ( pastor ) 
There's lots of us folk out here, more than you know, who ( how to put it.... ) eh, feel pretty much the same as what you described. I don't know how to explain it, but this show is just different. Different from any other fiction that I've ever been a 'fan'.
What I really like about the DVDs is that I can not only watch the episdoes over and over, but each time, there's something new that I somehow missed before. Well, there was, the first few dozen times I watched.... anyway, it's just good stuff. Glad you found your way here.

Hi there!
I'm new around these parts m'self... Just joined the other day.
I missed Firefly when it was on FOX as I work evenings and didn't have TiVO yet (posibly a good thing!).
I 'found' it on Sci-Fi a few weeks ago when they aired "Heart of Gold" and thought it looked like a prety cool show and decided to watch the next episode when it aired the following week to see if it got any better...
Holy cow did it EVER!
After watching "Objects in Space" I got up from the couch and immediately started searching on the net for info on FF. I ordered the DVD set that night!
The DVDs arrived the following Tuesday morning. I watched DVD#1 on Tuesday evening replaying each episode with commentary after watching it normaly, #2 on Wednesday, #3 on Thursday, #4 on Friday. Went and preordered the movie from Amazon early Saturday morning before going to sleep and went out and saw the movie on Saturday afternoon!
I currently am EAGERLY awaiting comics #1/2/3 that I won on Ebay and also await a very nice looking "serenity" fan-art logo done in white, automotive grade vynil to go on the rear window of my Blazer...
I KNOW your pain my friend!
I went to my sisters house on Saturday to help her install a new water filter in the kitchen...
I played the pilot and "The Train Job" for her...
She called me today and asked me to loan her the whole set... I think I know what HER X-mass present will be! ;)
Spread the joy of FF to everyone you know!
One of the little "easter eggs"/extras you can spot is during the pilot episode, watch the upper left corner of the screen while Inaras shuttle docks with Serenity for the first time. There is a Star Wars Imperial Shuttle taking off... ;)

What a great community we have. Thanks for all the advice / therapy. :)
I sent my wife details and pics to make me a Jayne hat. We have a lot of great knitters in our church, looks like one of 'em is going to make me a Christmas present.
