Wow...much like a few other folks"it's like reading my story"
*sigh*
We also drug out the watching of the final episode on DVD....
...and so there we were..Friday night...watching the wonderful wonderful 'verse...

and just like that..*poof* it was gone.
My husband moped about all weekend "Honey what's wrong" "I dunno" mumbled under his breath..this was repeated over and over again...finally he admitted "I just miss Firefly"
and there it was..enough to bring a grown man to depression...not to mention me.

It's like we all found a place in time..the friends we always wanted, all the warm fuzzy moments you have after going through something together..the trials we wish we had those comrades to follow us to..the chance to fight or die for someone we truly truly love..something we truly believe in.
And then you're brought back down to Earth That Is....and it's lonelier here..the lighting's not so warm. And you miss that place in time where you left your couch and became a part in something wonderful.

Well...on that happy note *ehem* I think I'll go drink myself silly on cheap red wine and watch "Our Mrs Reynolds" again.

Maybe we should all take up juggling geese..it would pass the time 'till the next season.
(Dear God let there be a next season)

at least, I too..today found this site where the lighting is nice and everyone's in love with a people and a place more interesting than today.

..now where's that dang Merlot?

Oh poor dear. *tears in my eyes*

I am so happy and so sad for you at the same time.

You are in mourning and we have all gone through it.

I was there when Firefly first aired on Fox. I was there when I realized it was aired out of order, when it was cancelled and live on only our hope for more of this 'verse.

It has taken 3 years to get the movie. The Serenity DVD came out 3 years to the day that the Serenity pilot was shown for the first time. It was the last episode aired by Fox. They didn't even give us all the episodes.

You have found a home and a family among Browncoats. You are not crazy. You are a Browncoat and you will get through it. I firmly believe we will get our Trilogy. Joss signed the cast to a 3 movie deal including for the whole cast.

All you can do it spread the word about Firefly/Serenity. Making converts is what we do.

We are still flying and that is enough. Maybe you can make it to a con and meet a BDH.

Jetgirl!

I liked your post too! A very intertaining read!

And as for you being a simon girl...

Of course he has a great body...He plays a Chicago Bears Running back by the name of Brian Piccolo in the feature movie:
Brian's Song, the 2001 version.

Enjoy!

Where can i read the comics? Did I miss it in this link?

Oh and where is your signature quote from? I cant seem to place it (and cant see to get it out of my head)

Finding the individual comic books may require a bit of hunting by now (I honestly don't know), but the three issues are compiled into the TPB - available for pre-order now at amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1593074492/qid=1136958278/sr=2-1/ref=
pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-7923613-4822264?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

My understanding is that it is to be released July 25th. To hold you over, you can preview the first five pages of Issue #1 at Dark Horse:

As for the sig...

From Safe -
MAL: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
ZOE: Big damn heroes, sir.
MAL: Ain't we just.

EDIT - If anyone can tell me how to include an absurdly long link (like the amazon one) without stretching the entire page, please do.

You are right, it had to be said. The back alone from the Serenity scene should win an Academy Award.

like everyones already said - 'thats my story too!'

its scary how quickly it takes hold of you. i watched the series within a week and had started a full blown addiction that relied on comics/commentary/extras/ and re-viewing the episodes again and again to get more!
when it came to watching 'objects in space' i was sad before i'd even pressed play because i knew that there wouldnt be anything else and i watched it in dumb silence, finally breathing after the final credits.

i love that nearly everyone here has a similar kind of story and 'gets it'. i have to admit i did get kind of worried about myself, ive never really become an active member of a fandom before, ive never become so consumed with a tv show or a film before. ive never become so defensive about a piece of popular culture that i feel the need to tell every one about its brilliance, understanding that the 'verse needs more viewers and more money and more support.

i loved your story and everybody's own story on this thread.

browncoats make me happy

Wow...so good to hear I haven't gone off the deep end...
There seems like so many of us were so deeply marked by Firefly....I wonder what our commen thred is? why us? Where's the rest of the world who should be as nuts over this show as we all are.
How very very odd.
Anywho..it's good to see there's more folks who LOVE Firefly.
nice to know I can find my fix :)

The common thread is intelligence and empathy. Intelligence allows you to appreciate Joss' sharp and witty dialog (and the other writers', of course). Empathy forces you to care about them. Deeply.

We should also give a nod to the outstanding acting abilities of the whole cast. They allow us to feel for the characters because they are the characters.

That should be easy to fix. Just think of OiS as the FIRST episode of your NEXT viewing.

Read fan fiction. That's what I'm doing. Try mal4prez's The Fish Job, everything by Kispexi2 and Kaynara, and the Firefly's Glow archive at http://firefly.populli.org/. Then go and write fan fiction and help other people scratch their itches...
