I almost lost bladder control when I read this one, dharmagal!

Terrifying space monkeys, no doubt...

Next came a group who saw the reruns on SciFi prior to the release of Serenity.

Yeah, that was me. I heard the story about it, watched a couple episodes (Our Mrs. Reynolds and Ariel), then went and saw the movie, bought the series the next day and the rest is history.

I also saw the Sci-Fi reruns before seeing the movie.

I had heard about the series before it initially aired, but wasn't interested in watching it. Then, I saw the trailer to "Serenity" prior to another film to which I'd taken my nephew & niece, and was entirely sold on seeing the film.

A day or two before the film was released, the Sci-Fi Channel ran a small marathon of "Firefly", from which I only caught 2 or 3 episodes.

That was it. I was hooked.

Then the depression set in when I realized the show only ran 14 episodes.

Of course, no one ever accused TV executives of ever having brains.

Ditto on all counts.

I saw and loved the show when it was on (well, the few episodes I could catch), but didn't really become a browncoat 'til I got the DVD set for Christmas 2003.

Since then I've spread the love to over 30 people, and only one of them hasn't loved it-- and that was just because she's a sci-fi fan who couldn't stand the cowboy.

It really is wonderful to see all you new folks. I hadn't put it together, but you're right-- it feels *exactly* like seeing those much needed reinforcements come over the hill.

I'm thinking we'll rise again...

I'm a New Browncoat to the ranks as well.

I saw the movie, loved it and was issued a shiny new browncoat as I exited the theater and have been wearing it ever since. :) I have since then bought then series and am in love...addicted is more like it...

I was trying to think about what it is I like so much about it and I realized that its EVERYTHING. The concept (sci-fi western! awesome!), the stories, the charaters, the writing, Joss (everytime I hear him in a commentary or read something from him I fall a little bit more in love), the actors, and then the fans. To read about what you all did and accomplsihed is just mind blowing! I have read that the browncoats have the best stories and its true. The scufs and tears and holes and patches on your browncoats have been well earned in a worthy pursuit. As someone else said, alot of of us new recruits owe our new addiction to you guys since most of us discovered the 'verse through Serenity.

Anyway, I look forward to posting and being a part of the fan community and heres to hopeing it can be done again. :)

thanks for the warm welcome folks, it is appreciated. I have gotten to work, converted a few, and have my sons both hooked, and telling friends as well.

Here is to hoping the future is shiny, and Joss and crew fly again.

Count me in the rush. I've been a fan since the movie but I haven't started posting untill a couple of days ago.

I caught a couple of randome episodes of SciFi, loved it
...That made me go se the movie which made me love it more
......That made me buy the show and watch it all in one sitting which made me love it more
............After that I bought the show for other people an the dvd.
Conclusion: Firefly is one of the best things to happen to TV in a while (my opinion)

I'm an "Influxed Browncoat"...and PROUD of it! I'm just embarassed that it took me this long to find this 'Verse! Similar to many...my interest was peaked when I first saw the promos for Serenity. I started asking around about it with some of the guys/gals on play on Xbox LIVE with...got turned toward the series...well long story short...rented the Series from Netflix...then the movie...what an AMAZING journey it has become. I finished the movie and DVD extras at 3AM this morning...and only wished for more! (lol...I guess I'll get more tonight as I'm rewatching the movie with Joss' commentary! YEAH!!!!)

Wow! What an experience it has been!

(Oh...and BTW...Guess what yourstruly is getting for his B-Day in 4 weeks?) lol
