Joss gave us a real gift with Serenity. He used the movie to tie up all of the really important open questions that were remaining from the series. I guess I take comfort that if I must let Serenity be the last story of the ‘Verse, and just assume happily every after.

That being said, I l would like to try to do better than that. I want to see those adventures, challenges, and travel a little further. I know that there have been several different ideas to try and bring it back, but in my opinion, the biggest challenge facing this show is a lack of awareness. I know because six months ago I never heard of it.

Ever year I get the flu at least once through casual contact with other people. I have decided to spread my own virus (no, not a computer virus). Call it a virus of awareness. I have added a simple line to my e-mail stationary:

You can't stop the signal. http://www.fireflyfans.net/ http://www.serenitymovie.com/

It may be a complete waste of time, but it is a free easy way of raising awareness among the people I am contact with. Hopefully a few people I know when click the links and the next time the go to the video store will rent Serenity and fall in love with it like I did. Maybe we can start our on little epidemic that affects those who love original storytelling. Maybe my line is too cheesy and you need your own. Regardless, let’s spread the virus.

Murkymerc,
That's a very good idea. I think i'll do the same thing, or something similar if ya don't mind me doing so. Don't worry though, it isn't a waste of time, I'm sure someone along the lines will see it then spread the word to some one else. Any more converting ideas are welcome, espically if anyone can come up with an idea on how to convert my g/f. I'm baffled.

This is a great idea Murkymerc and I'm going to adopt it too. It's a nice subtle way to add the 'verse to the rest of my life.

Hey, if 1 or 2 people that I know click on the link and fall in love, it will have accomplished a beautiful thing, because they'll infect somemore folks too.

We know this spreads... look at all the new folks coming in the last couple of days! This is another good way to do it.

Thanks, Murkymerc

Is, just start her on Trash.

It begins with a very fine POA, our beloved Cap'n, right there in his birthday suit, nekkid as the day he were born, in his full glory...

Well, you get the picture.

Kaele,
Thanks for the tip, lol. I'll give it a shot. She's seen the pilot and the movie but so far she doesn't care much for it. Any other tips for converting would be appreciated from any other Browncoats.

GREAT Idea!

I had no idea what Firefly was until about a month ago... Same with a good friend of mine, my brother and his friend too... Now all 4 of us can't get enough of Firefly and serenity.

Can I put this idea on www.browncoatsriseagain.com for the top 10 things a Browncoat can do right now?

If you could send me how you want your name attributed to it as well that would be shiny!

And if you care to, a photo for an upcoming newsletter?

Thanks!

perseverance. thats the key to recruiting. i have a corner of my house with a dvd player. it always has serenity on. i get a lot of flow in and out of my house. recruiting is easy if they stop and are like, whats that? see i do tattoos in my house....(clean and sterile)...so i get al kinds of new people in and out. ive actually gotten a friend to play it over and over in his tattoo shop. who knows how many can be converted.

i love the pitter patter of tiny feet in combat boots

Hey all. If you like the idea then please consider it yours and do anything with it that you would like. You can also credit as you wish, unless you think there is a possiblity that it will bring Morena Baccarin to my house in her underwear

in which case I want full credit. Mainly I just wanted to add another idea to the mix. Thanks for the positive.

Is, follow Trash with "Heart of Gold", she won't be able to resist the double whammy of our Cappy in his birthday suit and then him with Nandi and then to top it all off..... his face as he's tellin' Inara almost how he feels and then .....there's more..... his face when she says she's leavin'. I don't know any female in the world who can resist that!

Then have her watch "Safe" and she'll be sold.
When the Captain says " Chows in ten. No need to dress." and she sees them all gather at the table as a family her heart will belong on Serenity.
