Teethgrinder, I am RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!

I saw the movie at the theatre, got the Firefly set as a Christmas gift and fell in love. I just got the movie on DVD about 10 minutes ago!

I can't believe I missed the original run of this series either.

Count me in as another new fan. I remembered seeing the odd advertisement for Firefly during its run on TV, and even had a friend recommend it, but I never knew when it was on, and before I knew it, it was gone.

Then, Serenity comes out. I'm not much for going to the theaters (can't stand the smell of popcorn). Serenity was the third of four movies I saw on the big screen in '05 (I saw none in '04, and only the two Matrix movies in '03), the other three being Star Wars, Good Night and Good Luck, and the Chronicles of Narnia. In fact, the whole reason I went was because of its mention on my favorite podcast (TWiT), where they said that George Lucas needs to watch it to learn how to make movies.

I had, at this point, no idea that Serenity (I'm going to stay away from calling it BDM until I've been a fan a little while longer) was in any way related to Firefly. But, with its 20 December release date, it was the only thing I specifically asked for for Christmas. To no avail. I did, however, get a Blockbuster gift card, so I rented it. And I remembered why I'd said when I saw it that it was the greatest science fiction movie of all time. Going through the special features, I discovered the fact that it was a follow-up to Firefly, so, logically, I went and bought the box set the following day. And watched it within 24 hours. So then I returned the rented copy, and bought one of my very own.

All I can say is 'oh my god.' The series, and the movie...seriously the greatest thing I've ever seen, and I want more.

And as much as I loathe posting 'hi, I'm new here' --well, howdy.

Welcome CenturyHouse and Geiga! Glad to have both of you here. Please be sure to share Firefly & Serenity w/ everyone you can. We need to really push the movie DVD to have any hope of a sequel. Besides, nothing quite like sharing your obsession....err, joy with others, right?

Teethgrinder,

To a long & happy aquaintance. To Independence!
