Serenity took me by surprize a couple weeks ago, I watched it a couple times, then bought the movie, and series. I wasn't prepared to get sucked in so fast, funny, moving, heroic, and so sexy.

Only two moments let me down, I was sad that there wasn't a "Operative" chasing them in the series, secondly when Mal slept with that whore, what a betrayal, I wish he would have just comforted her, and give the impression he made love to her. It was heart breaking to watch "Inara" crying her lil eyes out.

I also can't believe how each episode gets better, the more times you watch it, how is that even possible?

I don't understand how a bonefied hit can sit under the radar, while all the idiots from each network broadcast loser, after loser of shows.

That makes "Girly" very angry.

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!?!?

Well agirlyman, you are gonna find lots of Browncoats to commiserate with here!

We all feel exactly the way you do and are just as outraged that the show isn't still on.

anyway... you will even find threads in which to vent your anger, but that is another thread...

*hands agirlyman a new Browncoat*

Welcome home!

There will likely be someone along to offer you food and drink and askin' you to stay a spell.
You'll find this a shiny place.

1) There were the Blue Hands group. Not quite the same but not totally different either.

2) That's the story of Mal and Inara in a nutshell. Two people so desperate for intimacy and too afraid of the possibility of rejection that they wind up dancing around each other and hiding how miserable they are about not being together.

There's just so much going on in each episode. Multiple layers of meaning. Depths of character that reveal themselves slowly because you just can't catch it all in one viewing.

I know what you mean about getting sucked in. I only saw a few episodes back when it originally aired so I didn't get too involved with it at the time. When I finally watched the DVD set last year it felt like I was pulled into a black hole. I can't even remember how many times I went through the entire series during that first month. Amazingly enough it never gets old. Been busy going through some other DVDs lately and I haven't watched Firefly or the BDM in some time. After reading your post I feel their siren song calling to me again.

Firefly took me by surprize last month. Similar
"what the hell just happened to my brain" experience.
Hard to believe that was only a few weeks ago. I'm
kind of glad I wasn't a fan when the series was on
TV and then got cancelled, because that was a really bad time for me and I couldn't have stood
losing another piece of home just then. That's what
Firefly feels like to me, part of home. When I got to
Objects in Space the first time and realized there
weren't going to be any more visits to this place
I just about freaked out. It's like the bad ol'
network threw a hurricane at my home town and wiped it out. In fact I'd say that's almost
exactly what it felt like. This week I'm writing
letters to networks - it's not much but it makes
me feel better. (There's another thread around
here somewhere with addresses for some of the
networks.)

Welcome to the world of browncoats.

I know what you mean about getting sucked in. I bought the series in july after having seen 3/4 of one episode on scifi (the pilot, serenity), thinking it would be more fun to watch at school with friends than Battlestar Galactica. And boy, was I right!

Mal sleeping with Nandi... it hurt Inara, yes, but on the other hand I really like Nandi. They were good together... for the evening. Any longer than that and I would have been liable to shoot Nandi myself. I am an M/I shipper all the way (what power this show has over me! I've never called myself a shipper before...)

They sort of had an operative. The Hands of Blue were coming after River, and they were scary as hell. I'm sure if they series hadn't been canceled then we would have discovered that they were operatives, or at least operative-like.

The episodes do get better each time. It is a mystery of science.

"Objects in Space"
River: It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think...

Those guys with the blue gloves where just agent clones to me, sterile, and unflinching. The Operative however was poetic, with so many levels of depth. If it wasn't for that great performance, I might have slept on "Firefly" the series, and that would have been criminal.

Are you just typing into the response box? If so just type out your text without cariage returns and it should automatically wrap properly when it displays.
