the best way to explain the fact that we are browncoats and that we will never change, is that we are a family here on this site! And tho we are from all across the world, and are all different in so many ways, becoming and being a browncoat means being a hero it means fighting the good fight, its about beliving in whats right and as long as we can talk about and watch firefly, then we have found Serenity! so remember "When you can't run anymore, you crawl, and when you can't do that... well, you know the rest"

I love it and what it's become.

I suppose I'll be a Browncoat till someone cancels my breathing policy.

Well, like with LOTR the biggest hype will die down after a while, but when you have something of such high quality that you really enjoy watching then I know this will always stay with me.

I still watch the old Star Wars films and the LOTR films, and will keep watching Firefly forever. I have now resulted to bying the DVD's for my friends birthdays to make sure the 'verse keeps expanding.

It also helps that I have a childhood friend who's last name is Niska (no kiddin').

You certainly have found a new home... welcome to it!

You need a browncoat since you're new...

*hands Adamwankenobi a browncoat, that fits fine I hope*

We're glad you're here among us, make yourself to home and post often please we love conversation.

Don't forget to share the show and movie with the folks you care for, it draws them in and hopefully we can get a continuation and it also lets them enjoy the Firefly experience too.

Being a Browncoat is more than just being a fan of the show/BDM, if that makes sense.

I've watched Star Trek for longer than I can remember, and I've been a fan of shows since. But being a Browncoat means more to me than just being a fan - it's a way of life. This is a real community, I'm relatively new and some people have been here since the beginning and yet we're all in this together.

So to answer the question...I'll be a browncoat to the end, and intend to have a Chinese style funeral with people in white instead of black.

I grew up with star trek, and star wars too, loving them both, as great as those shows are, "Firefly is a completely different animal. Meggy, you are so right being a browncoat is a way of life, it's about attitude, loyalty, family, and fighting the good fight. Doing what you think is right despite the odds against you. Living your life, doing it your way, the right way, with a certain "swagger".

As a 31 *yikes!* year old newbie, I can honestly say that I hope to be a browncoat for as long as I can carry on with dignity under all circumstances.


On a slightly different note, was in a well known UK music/dvd store today and happened to see the box set of Firefly on sale. Burst out laughing when I saw that there's now a sticker on the front of the box advertising that it's
"FROM THE CREATOR OF SERENITY"!




I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

I'll wear a browncoat with dignity for the rest of my days.

No matter what Nathan, and the rest of our BDH's do; i think Firefly reaches out and grabs your substance with the depth of the 'verse and the abosolutely perfect click of characters that Joss put together.

Of course, I never got an *official* browncoat from FollowMal at any time. But I've been around a stretch, and saw every episode the night it aired. (Even if i did it record them and rushed back from the bars to watch each new episode!). And i let my loud mouth go off regularly around hereabouts.

Of course, life moves on. But im not letting my coat get dusty. I think Firefly was too cool for even FOX to kill. I'll be watching those same episodes for years and years.
