i must confess i was somewhat sceptical about firefly

a couple of friends of mine constantly praised it to the rafters, and generally this is a bad sign, because anything they both like is generally unspeakably awful (van helsing anyone)

the DVDs were forced on me and having nothing better to do i watched them........

i have just seen the LAST episode, its 01.15 and im nearly in tears

in my opionion firefly was the best sci-fi show on TV, ever, by a goddamn country parsec

it has everything that is neccesary to be great drama: characters you care about, in a milieux that is intersting, that are in conflict, PLUS great special effects, fantastic music, gorgeous women, the ongoing river story, and a comic psycho killer called jayne

oh and for the record I LOVE KAYLEE!

LOL, good to see you finally cracked under pressure. Be sure to thank your friends, now :)

Keep the faith, spread the word, and hold the line. And if Mal takes too long getting back, or something happens: we take the ship and come rescue him :)

You can take my hope when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. (Or if Kaylee asks me nicely...)

Know how you feel, I was a sceptic for the same gorram reason and I saw Serenity mostly because I was bored. Took about 5 minutes and then I was completly sold on the entire series

You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

Greetings, Krasny, and welcome to our sector of the 'Verse. You're #20575 here, if my SereniFly-addled brain stored it correctly.
You're nowhere near through with all the shiny stuff available.
First, of course, is to find and watch Serenity, the Big Damn Movie. Then you'll just find more little bits, books, more...

If FollowMal catches up to you she'll issue your virtual browncoat so you'll blend in.

I'm on strawberry duty, and the whole gang pitches in, stocking the buffet for questioning. Lots of fruit, cookies, Mudder's Milk, etc. are laid out right now. (Avoid the red kiwis, however. They trickled in from one of the llama threads -- some kind of experiment.)

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Memorize the dialogue. Post your haiku, your limericks, your Burma Shave poetry, your musings and questions.

But most of all, spread the word!

Welcome, Krasny. You are among friends who know exactly how you are hurting, and share those feelings. Pull up a chair, grab a Mudders' Milk and set a spell.

Like Spider Robinson so rightly noted, "Shared pain is decreased, shared joy is increased"!

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

Van Helsing is a ruttin good movie! Visually stunning, epic musical score and you cant go wrong with Hugh Jackman.
