I think the fan base is why. Shows are great but it makes it better to talk and share, to laugh and hang out with other people who love the show.

Shows wouldn't be fun alone....

Mal: I'm plenty civilized. You're using wiles on me.
Inara: I'm using what?
Mal: Your feminine wiles. Your companion training, your some-might-say uncanny ability to make a man sweaty and/or compliant, of which I have had just about enough today.

Just registered on the site moments ago after discovering it over the weekend while searching for Serentiy t-shirts. Gotta say that I think I'm gonna like this place.

I run a comic book store and had numerous customers tell me to check out Firefly on Sci-Fi and then see the movie. So I did, and I'm hooked! Same thing happened with Buffy and Angel for me as I got on board late with those series in syndication.

Heard that Wal-Mart stores had the Firefly set on DVD for $20, but missed out locally. After hitting Walmart.com every day for 3 days, it popped back into stock and I snagged one. Wish I would've bought more to give to friends, because now they're sold out again. But keep checking!

Also, thanks to this site, I've been hitting Hottopic.com every day hoping that they get more Serenity shirts back in stock. Just checked, and they do have a medium River shirt called "My Turn" from Firefly. Any of you medium shirt wearing folks should fly over there!

I'll be around :)

I am one of those new browncoats myself. I had heard of the show right as it ended, though never caught an episode. then a few months back, I caught a rebroadcast of Out of Gas on SciFi. Friends of mine had mentioned the show, and I knew one had the DVD's, so I borrowed them, and have been hooked since. Can't get enough. Have since bought both Firefly and Serenity DVD's for myself, watched them several times, and curse Fox everytime I do so.

My one regret is that I was not in on this from the beginning, and wasn't able to do all I could to keep Firefly going back then. while it is usually better late than never, not so much in this case.

I want to give a personal thanks to all you Browncoats who were here back then, and were able to get Serenity to us through your efforts.

I think better late than never still holds true in this case. After all, now us newer Browncoats (I discovered Serenity in the theatre the last week it was here) get to fight for the Big Damn Sequel! So its our turn to spread the word, and buy the DVD's again and again. (My husband officially called me a "zealot" when I went up to a random guy at Hollywood Video and convinced him to rent Serenity. But we do what we gotta do, I say.)

Welcome to everyone new. Great to have you on the crew!

I’m another new fan. This is my first post, although I’ve been lurking for a few weeks.

I don’t like television.
Hadn’t had cable or satellite in over 18 years. On the way home from a meditation retreat this summer, I saw the first part of Serenity on SciFi. Fell in love.
Got Disk 1 from Netflix. Had to have my own, so I bought the DVDs.
Addicted. Is the term.
So when I tell you that I can’t get enough of the ‘verse, I want you to understand my full
meaning.

I have to have more. I’m hopeful that there will be more because I’m doing to the math. I’ve managed to spread my addiction to 3 other households. None of these people had even heard of Firefly or Serenity. Now they’ve all got a big space monkey on their back too.

What I really want to do is thank everyone here for keeping this thing going so people like me can find it. And get addicted to it.

Yep, fairly recent addict myself. Actually found Firefly in an AVS forum thread. Everyone was raving about it and the DVD set was only $25, so I figured what the hell.
Of course after watching it I went down the all to familiar path of addiction and dependancy that everyone here has.
