I am a big fan from the first showing, but I didn't really have access to the fan boards back then. When Firefly first aired, we had an older computer that didn't have the prossing speed to make internet surfing enjoyable. We were able to find the first "Firefly assistance" site. We donated to the cause and followed their suggestions, but the computer locked up so much, we didn't look for fan sites. Once we got the new computer, it was off to the races, just in time to get the latest news about the BDM. FFF.net was the first one I found and joined, so I want to send a special thank you to Haken for having the equipment and setting up this site. You allowed the ones like me the chance to catch up before anything faded away.

So true!
If Lucas had let spielberg direct episodes 1-3, instead of just bits and pieces of 3 it would have been a better prequal trilogy.

I believe it was Rick Mcallum who said something along the lines of "This is classic George, this is, 'how do I tell the story completly visually.'" Any GOOD director(example:Joss Whedon) knows that now-a-days you can't tell a story completly with visuals!

JOSSIS(Most Definitely)AGOD

I guess im a veteran as i watched the first run in 2002 over here in the UK. I was a fan from Serenity, thankfully they aired that first and then aired all the episodes in order, and we also got a world exclusive as Objects in Space, the last Firefly episode was aired first in England.

I had heard about Firefly on the net, downloaded clips from sites and shareware software and loved it, i thought itd be hard taking Nathan Fillion seriously after watching Two Guys and a Girl but i was wrong, he did perfectly by ballancing humour, action and drama all at once.

As for the writing of the episodes, i consider the material first class.

Serenity came along and i found this site, my laptop had crashed a year before and i couldnt join you guys.

Cant stop the Signal...
