Hello everyone–
I’m a total newbie convert as of a few months ago and I have to say that I am _totally taken_ with Firefly/Serenity. I am not much of a TV person and even though as a young lad I stood in line with everyone else 10+ times to see the original Star Wars in 1977, as well as Empire and Jedi later on, I’m not much of a sci-fi person. I’ve never been to a sci-fi convention or anything like that.
But Firefly is different. WAY different. And I’m acting like a kid again –- it’s crazy! My wife thinks I’m nuts -- although she enjoyed watching the DVD’s with me, she has not reached my level of obsession. I mean, I even have the theme song as my cell phone ring tone! What the heck has happened to me?!? Whatever it is, I love it!
Anyway, just wanted to say “hi” to everyone and thanks to all you vets who helped make “Serenity” happen. I’ve already started working on converts and checking into a 6/23 charity screening in my area. To quote River, “it’s my turn.” :)
Take care, all.

Gorramit, I'm in the same boat you are. My wife also saw FF/Serenity, but doesn't share my enthusiasm! To her it's "Seen it, like it, move past it". I'm like "See it, liked it, Repeat!!!"
BTW, how did you get the theme song as a ring tone?

Wash: Closing in.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a might fast.
Wash: That's just 'cause I'm goin' down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: Well, if that happens, let me know.

Welcome aboard! It's nice to see another browncoat so close to home (I'm from Durham). Make yourself at home. Help yourself to food packets of every color of the rainbow in the dining area. With any luck, we may be eating fresh veggies from the Abbey tonight, as well.
Followmal should be along shortly to issue you your virtual browncoat...
