Wow. I'm still amazed that anyone could find that show not fit for television. I'm actually feeling really empty inside right now, somethingt hat seems to be common when I finish good stories. It happened with "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa, anime called "Cowboy Bebop", and not much else, actually, but it's never been this... desperate feeling. There's too much left unfinished, I don't think the verse is cruel enough to let this series die. On that alone, I'm SURE that the show will return someday, and probably very soon.

I'm undergoing an invasive surgery to remove a 5.56 mm bullet from my shoulder at 1300 today. I thank the good Lord that I was able to finish this series before I went under the knife, and I plan on watching it up until the second I leave home. This is no longer an interest for me. It's a way of life. This show, the movie, the concept has been here for me during a time when my friends weren't and my family couldn't be.

I've been joking about it, but I now honestly think that if they let me keep the slug, that I'm going to mail it to Summer Glau. I'll even include a witty letter.

"Dear Ms. Glau,
These words and bullet come strait from my heart (or somewhere thereabout) to you on a painfully memorable Valentines Day.

Sincerely,
A Creepy Geek with a Crush"

Most people get chocolates for Valentines Day...

"Deep in the battlefield covered in blood
Lies an Airborne Ranger dying in the mud
He fought for his country and he died like a man
Though some people back home just wouldn't understand"

There's nothing more romantic than mailing someone a bullet ;)

Good luck with your surgery :)

lmao a thousand times for the bullet story :P

Good luck with the surgery, and know that we feel your pain. (About the show, that is. The bullet-thing? ...not so much :)

That really WAS beautiful. :) It's very touching to see how FireFly touches others. Thank you for a memorable post.

I am also a recent convert to the series. I have not yet watched the movie (which has led to some frustration reading some of these posts...d'oh!!...) but I plan to.

When I finished the series I felt sad that something this fun and fresh could be killed off before it started. How can you show a SciFI series out of order?!

My story isn't as near as interesting as yours (bullets and letters) but I will be a fan for life.

My recommendation would be to watch the DVD again with the commentaries. They are extremely informative and even a little bit funny.

Glad both of you guys made it. We'll leave the light on in case the rest of the world ever gets their heads out of thier hindquarters and realizes that this is a great show.

By the way, try not to get shot again. You know how I worry.

I too am a recent convert! I cant get enough of it..I keep watching it over and over. I wish I could stop, but I cant. Is that wierd? It is unbelievable to me that the network would cancel this show. Stupidity to me. The best show on tv, ever. I am empty also that there are no more to watch. I still have unanswered questions. Please help! Sandi

Yep, it's weird, but we're all werid right along with you. In my house, a day without a Firefly episode (or a Serenity movie) just doesn't feel right. I've got a stack of Blockbuster movies sitting on top on my tv that haven't gotten watched in over a week (thank goodness for the end of late fees!) b/c at night after the kids go to bed, the hubby and I can't bring ourselves to do anything other than get our Firefly fix.

Welcome here. We'll all just keep on keepin' on, and one day there WILL be more happenings in the 'verse.

MAL: We're still flying.
SIMON: That's not much.
MAL: It's enough.

I know it's not quite the same, folks, but I'm part of a fanfic project to produce scripts of "virtual episodes" finishing out Season One and then doing Season Two as if "Serenity" had been 22 episodes rather than a 2 hour movie.

For those who are interested, you can find out first six episodes, beginning immediately after "Objects in Space," at www.stillflying.net.

The Season One finale will be available tomorrow. If you like what you see and would like to be added to our mailing list, you can send an e-mail to gwek@optonline.net.

I so agree with you. I am trying to figure out how to squeeze in firefly today. My hubby loves it too, and he dont like any scifi, let alone western scifi. We dont have the same taste in good movies at all! But this, this here show is the best ever. Ok, so im not alone in the wierdness, thank the verse for that. Thanks for making me feel welcome too!
