ok, try to introduce myself, please forgive bad grammar etc. i try to write as good as possible:
when my girlfriend and i decided to watch a movie this special evening, even after a long discussion we were not able to chose one for both of us. So everyone choosed his own movie and we seperated for this evening (nothing special about this, three months ago we left our common apartment because we couldn‘t agree about living together behind the same walls, but believe me, we love each other very much ;-) ).

So she went in some Robert Redford movie, I took my Coke and sat down for Serenity. I had never heard about Firefly (It hasn‘t been aired here until now), in germany the info about the film was thin. But depending on SciFi in my opinion the world was not blessed in the last years and I take every chance to watch, what‘s coming up.

I left the movie being overwhelmed by the athmosphere, intrigued by the music, fascinated by the story and its characters and at home I started to read everything about this universe.

The week after I owned the DVD-Set and my girlfriend and me started watching - it was magnificent! She‘s no SciFi-Fan but was assimilated after the pilot. From now on Firefly-evening without her was forbidden.

The warmth and humanity is maybe the aspect I like the most. But every episode raised the question: Why so few! Why did they have to stop? The answer was staggering … what could have become of this series if…? Ok, I think you have heard all this lots before.

After finishing the series today … episode 14 just watched, I decided to login here, because I was lurking around here as a guest for several weeks so I am only starting another "wowwhatanexperiencenoiamafan"-Thread, but it was the right thing to do after watching the last episode.

Trust me … I started recommending movie and series at every possible opportunity … and there are two frieds of mine, who where intrigued either after watching the movie. I refused to burn my DVDs and tried to convince people to buy the DVDs supporting Serenitys success in europe (ok mainly City of Duisburg-Germany) and it worked twice.

In Germany we have to wait for Serenity-DVD release until march and I hope, that it will be a success.

thx for your attention and for this great website and greetings from the old world

Willkommen Lightspeed!

Nächstes Jahr studiere ich in München, und ich hoffe, dass ich viele deutschen Flans kennenlernen kann!

Lightspeed, we are happy to have you. I'm glad you're enjoying the series and the film so much.

Don't worry about the grammar; most of the people who post on this site use worse grammar than that and they are native speakers!

Well, I can only speak for myself, but there is a couple of reasons why I am here and not on a German fanboard:

- The German way of debating things on the internet is too bossy for my taste.
- I always prefer a discussion with people from other countries (the different mindsets and all)
- I like to be sitting right at the source of information
- I don't like this latent self-praising attitude ("look Americans, we are German fans!"). I consider myself a fan just as everybody else, period. There is nothing special about it at all.

After all it never really occured to me joining a German Firefly forum. I'm for unity, not separation (And I don't have time for both, I might add).

Well i have no idea why you are so bitter CBY, but I didn´t intend any harm just wanted to invite you guys to the german board, too. For me its not important if a board is english or german or whatever but we have some people on the german board whose english isnt so good and so they settled there.

Also serious debating? Occasionally yeah, but not on that board ..
