Hi,

I'm new here, having literally just registered 2 minutes ago.
I just finished watching the last episode of the series (Objects in Space) on DVD and have yet to see the movie, but I'm slightly taken back by how I've been grabbed by Firefly.
Before last weekend, I'd never seen a single episode, and in the space of a week I feel like I've just witnessed the finest sci-fi series ever.

I'm a big Star Wars fan as well as a follower of Doctor Who and Galactica, and now I have to add Firefly to that list.

I won't put the others down, as I love them for different reasons, but as far as TV series go, Firefly has to be about the most entertaining 15 hours I've ever had.

Glad to see so many shiny faces!

Gorramn, I love newbie threads. It does my heart so much good to hear all the stories about Firefly love!

I've been gone all weekend and away from home (read: here) and I sorely missed everyone and I'm so glad to be back.

I hope all the new folks will be as happy here as I am. And I hope we get our BDM:2! I can't wait!

Well, brand spankin' new Browncoat here. I went to see Serenity mainly because it had Alan Tudyk in it (I loved Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball!), and because I'd heard a lot of talk about Firefly and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I was hooked five minutes in. I started dragging all my friends to come watch it. When I showed my dad the movie and told him that it was based on a tv show, he went out that day and bought the Firefly dvd set.

I'm outraged that it got cancelled! It's been said before and I agree: we gotta start getting as many new recruits as we can to go out and BUY, BUY, BUY! If we start talking in cash people are going to sit up and pay attention.

Jayne is my hero...

my turn...

been lurking for bout a week, time to say "hi".

saw serenity first, thought it was pretty good, but it didn't hit me straight away. then the next day i just thought "hey, i feel like watching that again" and i think that's where the slippery slope really turned into a vertical fall. got the series straight after, watched it 1 dvd a night (seems to be a regular thing with this kinda initiation )

then i watched the BDM again, and it was so much better when i really knew the characters.

for example, the first time i saw the ship while watching the BDM, i thought "cool ship, looks pretty smart"

then when i saw that opening sequence in the BDM after i'd seen the series, i got all sentimental.. "there she is, still flying"

wow.

anyway, hi from northeast UK
