We shall see.



Of course you do, Lissa.

I'm glad you're one of us!

It's wonderful how we each say we love Firefly and Serenity. We don't just like it or think it good tv.... we love it. Makes me happy.

I know it sounds a bit tacky but it did hurt a little, well to be honest quite a lot. However after finding this site it did cheer me up knowing that i wasnt the only one affected by this Gorram fine show and movie. I guess the BDM was the hook and the series was the line and sinker. Proud to be a Browncoat and still hoping.



Ahh, but you see SunnyJ.. we all felt exactly the same way.. it does hurt quite a lot. That deep love you feel for the characters then to not know what happens to them...I have it still. It won't ever go away.. it's why I fight so hard for more. It's why I hold.

*hands SunnyJ a browncoat* I'm proud to have you holdin' with me.

PONYXPRESSINC,

Your mention of Logan's Run brought back fond memories. That was the very first movie my wife-to-be and I went to in the theater (dating myself severely here) when we were first dating. It has now been 26 wonderful years of marital bliss. BTW, she is a Browncoat through and through!

Thanks for the memories!

Given a choice between the earth-that-is and the 'verse-that-will-be I'll take the latter.

You too Ben? Welcome to our shiny site! We're glad you're among us!


*hands Ben a browncoat, fresh from the storeroom*

Try that on for size... looks great.


Make yourself to home and talk often. You suppose that Bun and the crowd of folks who put on the spread for all the newcomers are ever gonna show up in this thread? We need strawberries, I'd reckon.

When I first showed up on this board back at the beginning of April (wow, that wasn't very long ago, was it?), I am sure I told everyone how I came to love Firefly...but seeing as there is this pretty thread with so many touching stories, I'll throw mine back in. Oh, and my FollowMal coat is still like new to me!
I did not want anything to do with Joss because of Buffy...couldn't stand the show, made the mistake of thinking anything that man did would be the same BS. So, when I heard about Firefly, I decided to skip it. My loss, as it turns out. Years later, the preview for Serenity shows up. As a fan of sci-fi, my reaction was "cool"...then the wife informs me it's a movie from the series Firefly. Intriguing. So, I watch the movie, fall in love with it, borrow the DVDs from a friend, watch them in a two-day period, and now a Browncoat I shall be until they pry it off my dead body. I even went so far as to research and build my very own Browncoat (sorry for this, I'm still proud... http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=11621). I lurked around this site for awhile and finally joined...and discovered that I have a very large extended family!

That's right, Tristan doesn't need a 'coat.. he can make 'em. If we ever go into battle he's our armourer and 'coat maker! I've seen that browncoat and it's awesome!

Tristan, the part where you said "I have a very large extended family!" I like that part. I feel the same way too. Thanks.

well, i had seen a few shows while it was on tv, and i really liked it, then it was canceled and i was pretty mad, F** always cancels my favorite shows. Then i kindof forgot about the series and i never even heard there was a movie coming out, then i went to my uncles adn he said " hey you want to watch a cool movie' and the for the first half hour i kept thinking, " where have i seen this? then it hit me and i fell in love all over again and went out and bought the series and watched the whole thing straight through. now i cant get enough an wish that there could be more.

FollowMal, Tristan reporting as armorer and maker of RL Browncoats!
*snaps off a very sharp salute*

I feared jumping on a board that has existed this long, only to find the people had been 'waiting' for all of us to show up. It's a good feeling.

You're right: We do love them. They're special and they deserve our love. <3

And, thank you very much for my Browncoat! It's quite shiny and I'm proud to wear it.

We could use your support and, as people who know the pain of not-so-bright TV execs killing great shows... I think you just might feel for our cause.
