Well done, sixshooter!

Keep 'em coming.

What everyone else has said, and...

If I'm remembering correctly, the region 2 & 4 releases of Serenity were at the end of February. That likely had an effect on the number of new recruits popping up (especially with the shiny DVD art they have!).

Also in North America Serenity has been out long enough to make it's way to the previouly viewed sections of rental stores, and maybe even into bargain sections, which could contribute to more people taking a chance on the 'verse.

Whatever the reason though, the more the merrier!

I think it is more along the line of people coming out of the of the black. I'm finding a lot of people who are fans that think they will be labeled a geek if the talk about sci fi.Then they find out there is a lot more like them & they open up.

Check out the graph showing the growth rate! It's been on this path since the BDM, but it's starting to be noticable now.

Always room for more Browncoats!

I know for a fact the Firefly has spread a long way from the UK and to me the most unlikliest place i could think of, because theirs a guy on another forum that i go to and he lives in UAE - United Arab Emirates and he even owns it. So it looks like no matter where we all are we spread every where.

Well, whatever the reason I ain't looking a gift horse in the mouth. I am just happy to see the flood of new recruits. I can only hope that the influx continues like this for a good long time. Forever sound too long?

I think the DVD for the movie is responsible for most of this. I have noticed it displayed prominently at several retailers locally. I also noticed that Blockbuster has three facing for it (a total of 18 copies) and all but one were rented out as of noon this past Saturday.

I think word is spreading my fellow browncoats, but that doesn't mean we let up. No! If nothing else we need to redouble our efforts! I feel like we are right on the brink of becoming huge. I think if we continue to push the DVDs, keep spreading the word, keep employing our guerilla marketing techniques even harder we will push Serenity over the top & then the future is going to be oh so shiny!

It's coming browncoats, we just gotta believe!

Keep spreading the word! Keep flyin'!

About the llamas tho, Joss wouldn't happen to be a Jeff Minter fan would he? ;)

He may well be, but he's also told us he had absolutely no input about the cover, else I think the chicken woulda been there.
