My journey starts with a mistake. I was flipping chanels and stopped on a strange man singing some song about someone named Jayne who was a man. Kindof freaked me out so I didn't want to find out what's up. Later, a friend of mine found out I liked Buffy and Angel and told me about Joss's third series. I watched Ariel and fell in love

Since you're a captain, John, you definitely need a browncoat! Wouldn't do otherwise.

Hands John a browncoat of his own.*

I watch the show from the beginning just because I saw that Joss was the creator and I had enjoyed Angel and Buffy.

I knew I was a browncoat--well at least a fan since we weren't calling ourselves that just yet--when Mal decided to give the meds back in the Train Job.

I was disappointed that the show had been cancelled. I didn't find out about the internet support and fanbase until the movie was released. I hadn't realized that so many other people loved FF as much as I did. That is also when I found out what being a Browncoat meant.

I never got a browncoat in the first place! Is this a metaphorical browncoat we are talking about?

Anyway I first saw Firefly when it was originally aired on FOX on Fridays. Yes, hard to believe I actually saw it on tv and I liked it but forgot all about it once it disappeared and I wondered what happend to it. Well, I was reintroduced to it about the time Serenity came out and I can't stop thinking about it!

I have also converted a new browncoat or 2. And I religiously check the forums for any news on a sequel or second season.

Keep flyin'

I've told my story before. Saw the very first episode on gorram ruttin' Fox and then lost track of it... twice... before it was finally canceled. Preordered the DVD set before it was released and ate it up like a starving llama. Found FFF.net, but never actually registered until shortly before the BDM came out. Have my share of conversion stories. One of the folks I converted was with me at the recent Boston screening, and won one of the major door prizes -- woohoo!

Followmal, I've been thinking... I have a small stack of patched-up, more-or-less cleaned-up used browncoats now. Maybe if I run across a new recruit that you haven't coated yet, I'll loan them one to tide them over. Won't ever exactly fit, and won't be as shiny and nice-smelling as one of yours, but should be good enough for a short while.

What do you think?

ok, I new about Firefly, and always had intentions of watching it. then i saw the movie and thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread.

watching the series, it had me at 'This Land' and OoG just confirmed it. TV never touched me until that very end scene where he's stood in the yard looking at the ship. The whole show clicked into place and Made Sense.

And of course, watching it all over again now, especially the Big Wooden Stick of Doom scene in the movie.

I think i actually care.

its been a long time.

Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn it stops. You tell it to stop it turns. You ask it to take out the garbage it watches reruns of Firefly.

I have been waiting for my Brown Coat for some time now!!! I have been here for several months (despite what my profile says, error thingy happened....anyways) and still no Brown Coat. I know FallowMal is busy, so here is why FallowMal should run to the coatery and get me a nice shiney one...

I LOVE Firefly, I know everyone here does, but hey it's my opening line! I got hooked on it about 2 years ago when a friend forced me to watch it. After the first 10 minutes I was hooked! When I found out the show was gone, I was furiously pissed with my friend for letting me become so infacuated with it when there was nothing more to come! After a year of deep dark depression a shining light in the form of the BDM came and I was excited beyond the point of any normal person. I went on opening night and was first in the theater! Iwnt and saw it 3 more times in theater to help support Joss and when it came out on DVD I bought it right away instead of waiting a couple of weeks for th eprice to go down. I try to convert as many people as posible and have even broken up with guys who didn't like it (no that is commitment!) I am also tying to get the phrase "thats shiney" to repalce Paris HIltons "thats hot" and it is actually catching at my college *yeah*

So that is why I deserve my brown coat!!!! I know FallowMal is busy, so I will wait here patiently for it to arrive!!!!

Kisses

Origional Browncoat. Channel surfing when The Captain caught my eye. It was the bar scene in The Train Job and Mal was at the bar, talking to that big "unification day" bully. I couldn't take my eyes of the Captain and I thought I was watching a Western, until Mal came crashing through the bar window. I loved that the woman with him was an awesome fighter, but the thing that really hooked me was the spaceship rising up behind them......it just took my breath away. I still get a chill watching that scene.
I knew the show was in trouble when I could't find any one at work who watched it. I started calling family and friends, begging them to watch or at least turn the show on if they were going out. The cancellation was painful.
