Thanks for the welcome : ) As funny as it sounds I am really very glad there are others that feel this way about the show. I don't even like watching anything on t.v. besides History and National Geo channels, so I'm pretty taken aback of my obsession with Firefly. I'm poor as hell but have $10 saved so far too buy the DVDs. I won't be able to watch them for awhile even if I got them (too hard to know its going to end) now.

You said that the cast is signed for two more movies with Universal? Firefly movies specifically or just anything?

Looking at all the casts bio, it seems few of them have done anything since Firefly/Serenity... I hope they all realize how fucking awesome they are.

Two more Firefly/Serenity movies, Brandon. They are all signed for them. We are all hoping and praying that enough DVD's sell that they will think it's profitable to make those movies.

I think right now Nathan is the busiest. He is filming a movie called "Waitress" and he has a movie coming out in Feb. or March ( can't remember which...) called "Sliver". Alan was just on Broadway, Morena is on "The O.C." and the others have been in stuff recently. Adam is always working, he has a new horror movie coming out too, if I'm not mistaken.

But.... I know they'd come back to Serenity in a heartbeat, they've said so in interviews.

Sho, Welcome aboard.
As a new recuit there are a few things you should know. First, since you have yet to see Serenity, (as was mentioned by someone else) Be Careful what you read here. Lots of folk assume everyone here has seen it and discuss it openly.

Meanwhile, as you wait to see it.

Also, I don't have links but someone about here does. You need to find yourself a comicbook store and pick up the 3 issue miniseries that takes place after the show, but before the movie.

Then you need to download the River Tam Sessions which are 5 shorts in B & W with River in the academy with Joss as an interviewer.

there's books too. see the right side of the main page to order stuff from amazon. The Visual Companion with notes and the whole script for the movie. For after you've seen it of course.
and 'Finding Serenity' a collection of essays edited by Jane E. It includes all the colorful Chinese with translations and pronunciation.

Cons: find one near you and enjoy the company of the browncoats and appearances by cast. I Recommend Dragon*Con in Atlanta Sept 1-4, but only 'cause that's the closest to me. If you're not close to there, there are others.

Nathan's movie is Slither. see trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/slither/
B-horror in a good way and the Sheriff from the train job, as someone else pointed out.

Adam also has a horror flick coming. 'The Thirst'.
A Jayne Vampire.

Summer in the upcoming 'Mammoth'

Morenna appeared on OC as ya said, but just appeared, hopefully will appear again. First I've heard of Waitress though.

Yes, all 9 are signed for 3 movies and all 9 will appear in sequels. They all claim to love the show as much as we do, and Joss has said he has plenty more stories to tell in this 'Verse.

Does it matter where I buy the videos from? Are they all counted somehow in the sales etc..? I forgot I have a gift card to Best Buy, so I'll buy two Serenity's and give one to someone.

It feels good to know there are more folks out there that have been equally touched by this phenomenon. As with any great storytelling, it is the depth and intricacies of the characters that are compelling. And with superb acting to bring those characters to life, it becomes part of you.

I'll keep reading, keep looking, and keep the faith. All of my friends will be getting an earful of this shows greatness, no doubt!

Welcome and,

Just be careful what you read on the forums about here because there are a lot of spoilers for Serenity about.

Also, are you by chance the Sho I know from the Cantr Forums? Probably not but I thought I should ask.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Those were great, too! Although I could stand to see a little more. No, seriously, the technical quality of the (19MB) vid sucked. But it's unmistably our precious River. I say 'unmistably', because there seem to be folks out there, quite obviously suffering from tragic space dementia, that think the actress in the sessions is not Summer Glau. Jien tah-duh guay! :)

If you buy it from a legitimate retailer (not a guy on the street or a fleamarket, where it's likely bootleg) it doesn't matter who. Best Buy is as good as any. If you order on-line, it's best to use the links on the left of the main page (I Think) from what I understand, this site gets a little bit to help it keep flyin' from those links.

Hi Sho,

Welcome to the home of the obsessed! I felt the same when I saw the movie in Dec. Went out and bought anything I could find on the show.

I'm excited that the entire cast has signed for 3 features, but I'm hoping they bring back a series in some format. It's an excellent medium to tell a lot of stories vs. one BIG story in a feature.

The almighty dollar will speak best to the studio. So buy Serenity, buy Firefly, and give them to people. Get other's hooked on it so they start buying.

Oh, and if you have the means, come to Comic Con in San Diego. The cast, the last few years, has been there.

I was finally able to start watching the Firefly series from DVD that my friend has been trying to get me to watch for a year now. AND NOW I'M OBSESSED! I can't sleep at night, I think about it all day. I need this show back in production!

Welcome to this end of the 'Verse. :) Expect your obsession to be as fixated and shiny as the stars in the sky (which they can't take away from us). I have to hope, you understand, you can't beat this. Just ride it, like a leaf on the wind. Oh, wait a tick, you haven't seen Serenity yet. Man, you're in for a treat!

Oh, and River Tam is awesome! but that's hardly giving away anything, now is it? :)
