My friend loaned me the DVD box set and told me it was a "must watch". I kinda shrugged it off and let it sit on my fridge for a while and then got sick one day and popped the dvd's in to watch them with my girlfriend.

We watched the entire set that day and now I'm at a loss as to how the series was ever canceled. It is, if not the best series I've ever seen. I just can't believe this thing got canceled. ARGH! Anyway, let me know if there's anything I can do to help get this show back on the air, or if there's something else I can do to help out :)

Welcome to the board LostAnge1! Glad to see another convert to Firefly. It sure is good to see your friend spreading such a great show through the DVD. I know I have several of my friends hooked after giving the DVDs as Xmas gifts.

There are a lot of great people here, so kick back, make yourself at home and discuss Firefly. Keep your fingers crossed for the movie Joss is pitching at Universal and maybe we will all get to see Serenity fly again.

Welcome to the community loyal Browncoat. It's always a pleasure to meet a new convert.

I've been a Firefly addict from the beginning, but I'm new to the board. I didn't know you were all out here. (All together now: DUH!) But I'm so pleased to have found you--a whole community of people who feel just as strongly about this show as I do.

I just got my DVD set a couple of weeks ago and I've been going through that whole thing all over again: "I can't believe they cancelled this show." Like LostAnge1, I stumbled across Firefly by accident the first time, too. I just sat there thinking, "This is the best thing I've seen. Ever." The writing is amazing--so intelligent, so polished, so funny and original. And there are so many layers to it. Every time I watch an episode I notice something new.

Anyway, I'm so glad you're all out here, keeping the faith. I can't shake this feeling that we haven't seen the last of Firefly. I have a gut-feeling that we're just at the beginning of a real phenomenon. I hope I'm right!

Welcome Aboard (as our beloved Kaylee once said)! It's great to have you.

On that note, I have recently converted a "Firefly Foe"...my brother spent all of November and December teasing me about the #1 item on my Christmas list...Firefly. Then came January 2 when he got the flu and had to have something to watch...sure enough, I caught him trying to sneak my DVD set out of the house on his way back to college last night. He looked right at me and said, "Gorram, Joelle, I hate to admit but I'm addicted and it's your fault...hand them over." Sure, I laughed at the Gorram bit, but I still didn't let go of my death grip on the box set.

I believe my exact reply was: I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet you take these out that door and I'll end you.

LOL, nice. I'm working on getting a few of my friends to buy the set for themselves. As soon as I save up some cash, I'll buy my own boxed set. :)

I've been a fan since the beginning, i can even pinpoint the exact moment i fell in love with 'Firefly'. It was 'The Train Job' the first episode aired on Fox, and it was the moment when Mal is talking to Crow at the end, and then kicks him into the engine. I just sat there with my mouth gaping, thnking "that was the greatest thing i have ever seen."

When THE TRAIN JOB first aired I was on vacation with my girlfriend in Myrtle Beach. I didn't want her to think I was such a huge nerd that I would spend our Vacation watching a SciFi show... so I called my mom (long distance) to get her to tape it for me

Well, here I am.

Yeah...I'm hooked too. I had heard of the show last year, but never got a chance to see it. When the box set hit the stores last month, our Sam Goody's had it on sale for a stunning low price of $19.95! (I even asked the clerk if he was sure it was the right price) Good enough reason for a blind purchase. After watching it, my jaw was aching after repeated impacts with the floor. How in the world did this masterpiece get canceled while other forms of brainless tripe continues to fill the airwaves?...("reality" shows, etc) Shows like Enterprise have budgets larger than Firefly, yet they are allowed to continue production despite bland writing, predictable plot lines and low viewership. Fox really screwed the pooch on this one.

It was the train job for me, too. I still remember exactly when it happened: When they were on the edge of the cliff outside the bar and Serenity comes flying up...I got so excited because I KNEW I was in for something amazing. That shot still gives me chills and I've watched it too many times to count.
