Well I originally watched Firefly when it was on Fox, it was different and I was hooked. I Saw most of the series and loved every moment. I missed it when it was gone. Then went on. Until I got the series on DVD a couple years later when it came out and re-watched the series along with a couple extra episodes I hadn't seen before and fell in love with Firefly once again.
I have seen every episode at least 20 times and the Movie at least 15 times. I came here shortly after seeing the website url pop up breifly in one of the extras of the movie and have been here ever since.
I will never let go of Firefly no matter what Joss says. I would love to see the BDH's agian in a new season of Firefly of in the next Serenity.

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.

Rented BDM about three weeks ago, no previous exposure. Opening sequence grabbed me, it was different. I was hooked from the first scene on the bridge. After watching the bonus material and finding out there had been a series I wasted no time making sure it resided in our home. I went through a disc a night and suddenly found myself unable to not write a fanfic script for an episode. This is not like me. The characters get into your head and won't get back out again. You want to know what happens to them next. "Tell us a story Pappa Joss!"

One day, I was watching SciFi, waiting for SG-1 to come on, when I saw this ad for a new show called Firefly coming on the Friday lineup. I though it seemed alright and decided to give it a chance, even though it was made by the same guy who did Buffy, and I hated that show. Watched a episodes every once and a while, and while the guitar backrouds irritated me, it did not seem to bad to me. Then I found out there was a movie already being made based on the show. I thought this seemed a bit premature. After all, the show had only been airing for a few weeks now, hadn't it? Then, watching the SciFi exculisive peek at Serenity, I found out that the show had been cancelled a ways back on Fox, and I was watching the reruns on Scifi. I liked the show pretty good now (not tremendously though), and I enjoyed the romantic idea that the fans fought back enough to get a movie. So, when the movie was in theatre, I thought about going whenever I had time, but I was not much to go to movies honestly.
One Friday, I had some spare time, and a bit of coin as well, so I had two options before me: I could go and lose the money paying with my poker buddies (I suck at poker, but it's fun), or go to the movies and see Serenity. It looked interesting enough, but I had heard nothing of it, except from scifi, so might totally suck. Drawn over it, but leaning slightly more towards poker, I decided to flip my lucky coin for what I would do with my evening. Two out of three flips, movies won on the first two. Looking back, I consider this fate, because if I had gone to poker, I problably would never have gone to the movie, as I do not have coin and time at the same time usally, and Serenity and Firefly would have disappeared into nothing for me, most likely.
I grabbed my old brown leather coat I have worn for years now (it was cold out, not becuase of the movie. Had that coat way before I even heard of a browncoat) and rode my bike to the theatre.
Where my life as I know it changed.
The opening sequence with serenity entering atmosphere, it just...smacked my soul like a sledgehammer. The whole movie caught me and would not let go. The end was incredible; an end where heroes are mortal, and for the first time in a long while, I had no idea who was going to survive. I LOVED it.
I walked out of that theatre feeling...insane. I wanted to do something, draw something, work out, scream on top of of my dorm roof. Anything to keep this feeling inside me. It was unbelievable.
I told everyone I knew about this movie, and that they should go see it. A few days later, I decided to look up the movie on the web, and was pleased to find that few reviewers, if any, didn't like the movie. Then I found the link to this site, and decided to lurk for a while. This is the first fansite I have ever been on. It took me quite a few months before I actually created my account and started posting here. First time to ever post anywhere, as well.
Soon as I had the chance, I bought the series on DVD and rewatched it. Somehow, the second time around, the show just buried me and I knew for certain. Now and forever, untill the sun goes dead in Earth's sky and long after, I will be a Browncoat. I was from the time I developed a personal philosophy on life, it just did not have a name untill recently
Have been on the site for something like four months now, posted a fair few times, just started putting things into the Blue Sun room, But I have never formally introduced myself before. Sorry about that.
So, that is my story of how I came to this verse. Don't know how interesting it is, but it's engraved on your braincells now if you read this, so you're stuck with it.

Well I'll play if I have to.
The first (second) episode the day it came out. Saw the trailers (yes, I was one of the rare few who saw the commercials and thought NO WAY am I watching this. Cowboys in space? Horses? WTH?) But it came on before another Fux casualty John Doe which I was really interested in and decided to watch it. I don't remember the exact time I thought this is special, I can't say when it was I thought I'd like it better than JD, but what sealed it for me was Mal's responce to Crow. The rest was history for me.
Which is why it confused me when I couldn't find it (not knowing Fux's reputation for screwing shows) and with Baseball and Adam Sandler? movies replacing it you can imagine I was getting quite hysterical wondering what was going on and where my beloved show had dissapeered to.
Then I came online, found this place, and learned to my horror it had been cancelled and I'd never see it again. After that even JD lost interest in me. It was my favorite line-up. Firefly straight into John Doe. It was perfect.
Then Fux fuxed it up.
Damn you to Hades people at Fux. May all your suits wrinkle and may you never get the perfect Mocha late.
If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting
Just a quick edit. Space the imagination station got the rights to air the whole series and unlike Fux they put it in order WITH the 2 hour pilot first and the 3 unaired episodes. This was before news of the DVD's coming out, so I got to tape everyone (with the opening speach by Mal and Book, I don't know if they were different from the originally aired ones or changed slightly) so while most were in withdrawel waiting for the DVD's I got to watch them whenever I wanted on my VCR. (just wish I hadn't cut off the opening song for all of them.) And even though I didn't have a DVD player yet, my top wish for xmas that year was the set, which I got (and a DVD to boot. Woohoo.)
But if ever my player breaks down I won't have to worry about not seeing my BDH's. I'll just pop in my video tapes.

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
Capture
Capture me if you dare.
*FollowMal strides back into the thread and looks around at all the deserving Browncoats in this thread and sets down her plan book, and her ever faithful funny Farside calendar ( without which she'd be lost
) and her big ole stack of yellow sticky notes which contain too much info for her brain tonight!*Capture, for being a tried and true Browncoat and waiting and waiting for me... here is your very own browncoat!
*hands Capture a browncoat that fits perfectly*
There, your patience and virtue has paid off.
Keep recruitin' and I'm glad you're on our side.

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?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm pointin' right at it!
DonCoat, I'd be honored if you'd do that.
In fact I'd wager there'll be Browncoats, including me who would fancy one of those used and full of stories browncoats. And if you run out of 'em, or fall behind patchin' 'em up, why you just come over to the storeroom and get some of the new ones and hand 'em out. We can't let new recruits go without their duds. It just wouldn't be right.
I'm so proud you asked me.

Serenity "smacked my soul" too, Jigman, and I'll never be the same, never. Well, since you already have a browncoat that you came with, do you want a virtual one? Seems to me you are a browncoat in every sense of the word.
If you want a 'coat from me, just ask.. I already have one that'll fit you perfectly.
