I agree with AURAPTOR. I've never been much of a fan of Star Trek or Star Wars, although there were shiny in their own way. It was just the 'reality' of Firefly that made it so appealing. Made me feel at home. I think I'll just tell the good lord when I die that I don't want no silky, shiny white robe. I'll just keep my dusty ol' browncoat.

Keep flyin'.

I am right there with ya Raptor, turning 43 in april, so I grew up with star trek, and star wars. I love both those verses, but never have I been "in love" with them. I never been fanatical about anything except maybe videogames, until "Firefly". My whole life I have always done my best to do the right thing, do for my family, and keep on flying. I'm not perfect, the way it is, is the way it is. I'm sure if I wracked my brain, I could analyze why I love "Firefly" so deeply, but I'll sum it up into one sentence.

"When I watch "Firefly", I feel like I am home"

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!?!?

I'm 51 and this is the first show that I've ever gotten "obsessed" with to put it mildly. I always loved Star Trek but not even close to the degree I've loved Firefly and Serenity. When I consider what it means to be a Browncoat I think of things like a tenacity to keep trying in the face of failure, a never give in attitude and a sense that the majority is not always right, just the majority with all the power (Alliance). It also means a kind of virtual community of like minded people that share their love of something special that has touched a nerve in each of them. Something we all can indentify with on a deeper level that lets us put aside any of the petty differences that so many people focus on nowadays to separate themselves from others. How long will I be a Browncoat? Once you put on that coat there's no turnin back, it's with you till you die and perhaps even longer. Maybe God's a Browncoat?

Yeah, I agree entirely. Whatever the future brings (and I hope it will bring more FIREFLY/SERENITY) I won't give up being a Browncoat. It's certainly not a fad. It's a part of life, a way of thinking and it's a loyalty to a cause (and a show) that I will always love.

Whatever comes.....we'll hold til Mal gets back. We have to.

- Shiny. Let's be bad guys.

I will always be a Browncoat. This thing we have is far too big for F*x or anyone else to keep down. They can't shut the light off as long as each of us carries it with us.

I wear mine with pride. Even while it was hanging in the storeroom, it already had my name on it.

I plan on dying a Browncoat. I plan on living a Browncoat. If there's an afterlife I plan on recruting the dead into Browncoats. So.....Yeah that's where I stand.

AGIRLYMAN,

I agree that you can be a Browncoat a long while and not even know it. Heck I would even venture to say that most folks would consider themselves Browncoats. By definitons it would seem to be that you are a Browncoat if you simply don't take what authority has to say as gospel.

Who doesn't see things that way.Things aren't just black and white as the Alliance(and others) would have us think. there are plenty of gray areas that the controlers of worlds(and universes) use all the time to manipulate how things go.

So yep I'm a Browncoat. Been one since around age 10. Will continue to be one until I'm planted with my Brown coat still on.

From the moment I saw and fell in love with Firefly I became a browncoat. It does not go away like a disease, or mumps or chicken-pox. You become it, it becomes you. You are it, it is you. I will always be a browncoat. Till death do us part, and then some.

at 37 I saw Star Wars when I was 7 and have always been a fan of SciFi, I have always been a bit of a dreamer, and tried not to conform too much.

I have travelled, taken drugs (no harm in trying everything once) and now have given it all up and gone and got a family, 2 sprogs a wife and a small bu(S)iness. I have my own job and love the freedom, I do not aspire to being rich, I just appreciate what I have and get on with what is at hand. That is what I feel makes me a Browncoat.

All of the characters in Firefly live in a similar world to us, and want the same things. Even Jayne, though he won't admit it.
