Well, I tried, I really did, to ration the shows out, but by Sunday night I had watched all the episodes and the extras, (got the DVDs on Friday)and while I know I can watch them again, I still won’t know what the scoop is with River, if Simon will ever kiss Kaylee (and keep his mouth shut!) or find out what Book is all about.
So I’m hoping to find out a feature is under way, and the success of that will reinitiate the series.
Until then, my heart will be both glad as I watch the eps again and again, and it will break a little more each time…
As I continue to hope...

I finally got mine in the mail Friday night, and immediately had to go on a trip... so today is the first day I've had with them. I was watching "The Making of Serenity" and the interview with Greg Edmundson (sp?), the composer, made me cry (as will the music at the end of The Message every time I watch it from now on).

I really hope the movie is coming soon...

I'm really in bad shape - now YOU'RE making me teary eyed - and I'm at work.
(I'm not embarrased - I just wanna go home and watch more...)

I've got the boxed set in my hand. I want to open it and start watching SOOO badly, but I know I'm going to have to go through it again. I'm going to get mad. I'm going to get frustrated. I'm going to feel desperatate about this story and how it isn't going to get told.



So, I think I'm about to watch in one long heartnbreaking binge. And then it will be over again.

Come one Joss! Bring this story back to us!

just received my firefly dvd set in the mail. watched the entirity straight through monday into tuesday. first time i've seen all the episodes! wanted to say i was totally floored/blown away by the way each episode drew me in and let me become part of what was going on with the show. by the time i finished the last ep i had to remind myself that this show was cancelled! i immediately realized that i was hooked on firefly. i've been into sci-fi series in preceding years, but i have NEVER been this caught up with a tv show like i am with firefly! such a rich contrast of characters, stories where honor still exists, people still have dignity for themselves and each other. also, i can't tell y'all how humbled and red-faced i got when the cast and crew actually recognized and showed appreciation for the loyal fans of the show. firefly should, no, MUST continue. joss has to find a way to bring this show back to the airwaves and let the stories of these nine individuals be told. i look forward to buying a dvd set of the future shows just so i can say to myself: "i knew this was going to happen all along!" can't believe that this show is such a big hit with people from north america, europe, australia, etc. and still no network picking it up.

I haven't even been able to bring myself to watch the episodes yet, just the commentary and the special features. All I have to say is:

Joss - push the red button!

I've been rationing the eps out, giving them to myself as rewards for getting my work done of an evening... and still, my heart breaks every time I see the end of an episode and realize that when I get to the end of the eps on those DVDs, there won't be any more for a while (including the movie, which screenplay our beloved Joss is still writing, per the latest interview).

And after every episode ends, everyone in my house sits around wondering "What in the HELL was Fox thinking? Oh, wait, they weren't..."

Well, this is my first post. I watched one episode when Firefly was still on the air due to all of the huge scheduling/baseball disasters. I cannot believe I didn't find a way to see each and every episode when they originally aired. I got the DVD set for Christmas and I thought I would only watch one or two episodes. Well, I watched 10 that day (yesterday). I finished up the series today and I cannot believe what was done to this show.

It is an absolute TRAVESTY that Firefly was cancelled. For a show to get such fantastic character development, such intricate stories, and such amazing culture in such a short time is nothing short of phenomenal. I plan on purchasing DVD sets for my friends and family to get them hooked (or better yet, lend them my first disc and let them buy their own).

Serenity's story is far from over. After watching such brilliance, I must believe we will hear more from her spectacular crew. First the movie, then a new series (complete with action figures!). It may not happen soon, but if there is any justice in the world it has to happen eventually.

I stumbled across the show last year, it drew me in, then my wife. We missed the last show aired because we were out of town visiting relatives and dealing with my late mother-in-law's affairs. This Christmas it was under the tree, for my wife and I to share together. Life can be short, it's what you do with it that counts. Good work Mr Wheton, bad decission FlOX.


Loaded and ready,
