*The bun rushes in, heavy laden with fresh supplies.*

What a bonanza! Loads and loads of just-picked strawberries. Heavy cream for 'em. More fruits and veggies. Rosemary here, too. A case of Mudder's Milk. That case of Mr. Pibb which was requested by the SLiTHER fans...

As for the 'possum for those fans -- I had offered to get either free-range or factory-farmed and got no response, so we'll be skippin' the 'possum, though that's an activity more easily performed with rope or stones.

TGM, I see FM has issued your virtual coat, but I fear we'll have to find an extra-long bunk. You're taller than Jayne, and he fills his from end to end.

Yep, our little ship is home. The more you watch it, the homier it gets. Spread the enjoyment to your friends, family, whoever might enjoy it. The more the merrier.

6/23: Re-light the 'Fly

To recap (and expand on) the others' advise, TALLGUYME:

1: The "R. Tam sessions". The page for them on Wikipedia even has a couple of links to places where you can download the full thing (do that before you read, though, it'll probably be shinier!). You simply MUST watch these. They... I... shiny. In a disturbing, depressing sort of way. But awesome.

2: The "Serenity" three-part comic miniseries from Dark Horse - it's got two formats: the first is the original, single-chapter comics (now in second printings, woot!), each of the three chapters comes in three variant covers, too, so they're all... collectable-like (my collection has River, Kaylee and Inara. I kinda want the Zoe one, though, too, and the Wash one. The Wash one has an awesome picture, and Zoe... Zoe just rocks, y'know? But I would not trade the River and especially Kaylee ones for the world. They're beautiful, and really capture the characters, especially Kaylee's!). The other format is as a graphic novel, called "Serenity: Those Left Behind", if I recall... you can find it on Amazon. The comic miniseries bridges the gap between the movie and the TV series. Meaning, live Wash, baby! Plus, as I recall, it explained what happened to the Hands of Blue guys.

3: Serenity novelization. I know. Not as good as the movie. But it's better than nothing!

4: Other Firefly/Serenity novels coming. I recall there being at least three or four licensed, though when they'd take place I have no idea; they aren't "canon" in that Joss isn't overseeing their writing, though (same with the Serenity novelization, though that one's based on the movie script, so it does follow a Joss plot, at least), so careful abou where you set your expectations. :P

5: Serenity Visual Companion. Very shiny book.

6: Now, what was it you said, now... you wanted to jump aboard the ship? Did you, now? Well, might wanna check out the Serenity Roleplaying Game, then, Browncoat! It literally allows you to join the crew or create your own, and play in the world. Only prob is you technically have to have at least one or two other people to play. I'm looking forward to testing it out myself. I just bought the rulebook (btw, if you buy the stuff from links from the main page of FireflyFans.net, you help support the site). Best part is, Joss was at very least consulted on the RPG. I don't know by how much, but he was involved. Also, just glancing through, I can TELL the writer's a total Browncoat. He has the lingo down PAT. Even the phrase Big Damn Heroes makes an appearance, as I recall.

Then, of course, there's the new comic miniseries Serenity sequel coming from Dark Horse. ^_^

I saw the Wash cover issue (amongst others) at a local comic book store 2 days ago when I ordered the trade paperback. If you mail me your addy, I'll send it to you. I'm nice like that.

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Ok

Now that I have read the script, I am even sadder. I wish they had filmed that one. How is it possible that the Fox management was that stupid? Makes you wonder how they manage to get dressed in the morning!

Thanks for the link! It made me happy for a moment

One day.

Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! Is that weird?

Of course I meant that as a compliment... uh, yeah.. that's it. :)

For people who would like their own Firefly, this is probably as close as we`re ever going to get.

You`ll need the Orbiter flight sim to get it to work, but at least its freeware.

Fly this, THEN say a firefly is junk!

Flight Instructor: Son, know what the first rule of flying is?
Me: Don`t crash?
