I've just finished watching the last episode of my very recently acquired Firefly dvd set, and I'm definitely in love with this show! The worst part, besides not being able to watch a second season, is not being able to share the experience with my friends, none of which speak English! I've tried to explain to them why I spend all my free time watching a show about space renegates who swear in Chinese, but they all just think I'm crazy...I can't wait to see Serenity; a friend of mine went to a trip in Australia and he promised he would bring me back the DVD!
By the way, English not being my mother tongue, I apologize in advance for all the mistakes I'm very probably going to make...

Welcome to the verse, Dollwen!!! Sit down and stay for a spell. Should enjoy this here spot, have a bunch of shiny folks from all diff walks of life. Not to mention a bunch of little goodies such as the Dark Horse comic series for verse, the River Tam session, extened blooper clip etc etc. Yeah same prob w/ me, no showings or versions in Japanese so can't share this yet w/ my Japanese friends zannen ne. Well enjoy and have fun.

I seem to have acquired the job ( a pleasant one I assure you, lol) of handing out Browncoats to all the new folks coming onboard...so...

It's odd, I would think more French people would like Firefly; I thought getting completely stomped in a noble fight would be something you would understand completely.

Welcome here. And, I know that the Region 1 DVDs have French dubbing, at least (though, admittedly, it's a compromise). Maybe you can find a way to share...

Well, I'm sure French people would love this show if they had a proper chance to watch it. It was aired just once on the French cable (at about 2:00 AM)with an awful dubbing which made it sound like a stupid show with stupid characters in it (the translators didn't even keep the Chinese words!!!)
As for the DVDs, the lack of French subtitles on both R1 and R2 sets makes it really difficult for me to introduce my family and friends to the show...

Welcome aboard, dollwen! And you needed concern yourself overly much about your English. One misspelled word is FAR better than some who make the same apology, but not the same effort.

Seems I've been pouring a lot of fresh wine lately

shiny!

Hey FollowMal,
I don't remember being handed a browncoat. I don't care if it is invisible, it's the thought that counts!

Welcome Dollwen! I know you'll love it here!
