I am also new to the series and also a new addict. I had a friend visit this weekend and he brought the Firefly DVDs. I have heard of the series and actually seen one episode (Shindig) but wasn't really impressed. But when I watch the episode "Serenity" I was just amazed by the series and could not stop watching the series. I liked the series sooo much I went out and bought the boxset myself just to watch it over again. But i have to agree with everyone here, when i was watching the series the whole time i was saying "why was this cancelled". I was sad when I was done, I didn't want it to end :(

See, I liked it upon first seeing it, but I didn't know it was worth taping until Out of Gas. I missed the train job and several subsequeint episodes thanks to my sister. Strangely enough, when I watched the DVD with her, she didn't really like it for a while. She watched 2 and a half disks without excitement, but when she went back to college, she called to say she liked it. I think part of this is because the early episodes provide the conflicts that are exaberated in later episodes.

Not new to Firefly, but I am new here. Just signed on yesterday. I'm a long-time chat room junkie and was looking forward to chatting here, but my hidownload tells me mIRC has a bit too much spy-ware for my taste. I'll have to catch folks on the java, if it ever works. (I won't hold my breath...heh)

I don't know how long my Jayne obsession will last, but I've got it bad right now. I currently have about five Adam Baldwin movies in my Netflix queue so I'll be seeing them relativelly soon, if I don't decide to watch SHOGUN first.

At least I know there is some hope for my obsession not being too terrible; I REFUSE to sit through another Stanely Kubrick film so I won't be seeing one of his most famous roles. I just watched THE SHINING for the first time last week; if Nicholson can't make a Kubrick film stop me from falling asleep, nothing can. Only part I liked was the "Give me the bat" scene and even then I just kept thinking that Homer did it funnier.

Anyway, I've been known to ramble in my conversations and postings so you can probably ignore most of what I say.

Take care, all

Hey all

Just finished watching the series. I have serious chills. And a great big pain in my stomach knowing no new episodes are forthcoming. This this series is absolutely incredible. I really don't have the words to fully express myself right now (I need to watch the whole series again to better appreciate my own reaction).

I so glad I found you guys. I feel like a guy in empty field whose discovered gold....HOW COULD THEY CANCELL THIS SHOW WHILE MUTANT X IS IN ITS THIRD SEASON!!

I don't have the words right now....incredible show...

Kala:
As a fellow Michigan Firefly fan...welcome! (I actually just arrived myself a few days ago after watching the DVDs on Christmas day.)

See, I WAS a reformed Firefly junkie. I was SO upset when Fox cancelled it I boycotted Fox (Yes, I gave up Simpsons and 70s Show) until Keen Eddie came along (which had GREAT camera work/angles..very different...like some "other" show we know). They of course cancelled that as well. So I pushed all things Fox out of my mind and tried to let go. Then I saw the Firefly DVD box and it came right back...I now sit and wait to get some more Jayne tasty however i can get it. And I don't have to feel bad about that because I sat through Independence Day a second time JUST to see Adam Baldwin in uniform.

I'm a new Browncoat also! I've been lurking around here for a few days.

I got the box set for Christmas. It's an odd story, actually. (Not interesting. Just odd.lol)

I'd seen part of maybe two episodes when it was on air, but it didn't really grab me. The cancellation meant nothing to me. (At the time!)
Then I heard about the DVD's. Now, I'm a big Jewel Staite from way back (about 7-8 years.) And as a HUGE Buffy fan, I know Joss is a freakin' genius. So, I asked for the set for Christmas. Didn’t really have a reason. Just had a feeling. So, I opened it up... and I was giddy. I believe my exact thoughts on that were, "What the hell? Why do I care?" I guess it had to do with that feeling again. Like I was about to experience TRUE entertainment. So, I watched “Serenity” and ended up watching the entire set until the wee hours of the next morning. Now I just can't stop watching. I'm officially beyond addicted. It's a little scary, actually.

I can’t even express how amazing the show was! It was just incredible… perfection… classic, and FREAKIN’ BRILLIANT! I’m at an utter loss as to how the series was cancelled. I’m very glad to have found a place where others feel the same way. It’s quite comforting.

Great to see all the new joiners! Welcome fellow Browncoats! You've reached the best gorram Firefly site out there. We have tons of fun here and more chat than you can handle...) Feel free to drop on down and say Howdy whenever I'm on.

Also... I can kill you with my brain...

Shiny! Ni haody and welcome aboard, browncoat! I've been wondering how many of you there are out there - them as found the DVDs and got to enjoy them without having gone through the agony of the cancellation. Also, your friend deserves credit for being trustworthy enough that you would watch it purely through his recommendation. Might not surprise you to learn that several Browncoats were converted this way, and you are in good company.

Come by often - set a spell. Sing along with the music - we all know the tune, after all, don't we?

Welcome to IrisAnne, MO1962, Hex20, BlueSunCorporateGoon, LadyJayne, Rosebud, and Beckinsale. It is great to have new Browncoats here, some who may have been around lurking longer than others.

It is really great to hear stories on how the DVDs are turning more people on to Firefly. It is really encouraging to see new Browncoats swelling the ranks. The more fans, the more DVDs that sell, and the brighter the future for Firefly.
