Welcome back, PurplePenguin91!! Seeing old friends return is just as much of a delight as meeting new ones!

Please accept a nice glass of Irish Whiskey to sip while waitin' for your browncoat.

I can understand the closure feeling after the BDM even if that's not what happened for me (I just got more of a bee in my bonnet and found here) but glad to see you changed your mind. This 'verse ain't over...not by a long shot. That, and I haven't sung yet. At least not for that reason.

Welcome home!!

I'm not bun, but...when looking at the responses, put your mouse curser over the name in yellow. It will tell you the user Reg number. :)

Glad you didn't have to wait for me
to straggle back with an answer...
Heh.

It's always fun to see one of the
Venerable Four-Digiters show up, but
there must be a cool category for
Early Fives as well.

And for Returning Prodigals who just
couldn't stay away.

Ni Hao , Shiny 'Verse Fans !

Just want to de-lurk and give a shout to all decent folk hereabouts !

I'm Browncoat by nature , Flan since the promos in the summer of '02 . Eagerly anticipated the premiere on Sept. 20 , 2002 . Lurked about the boards 'til it looked like our beloved 'verse was being threatened by the ' hands of blue '. Sent my post-card to the network that shall live only ' in infamy ' . Never wrote to television
' execs ' before then . Never had a reason to .
' TV Exec ' = ' Idjit ' .

I'll tell you what . All of the newly-minted Browncoats are a source of inspiration to me .
Raise a cup of your favored brew , and repeat in Browncoat solidarity :

" I'm thinking we'll rise again . "

Browncoat Liberty . Browncoat Solidarity . Browncoat Pride .

Never give up . Never give up . Never give up . Never , Never , Never .

Remember , network execs 'killed' Star Trek . Several series and TEN movies later , Trek is looking for an eleventh major motion picture .

Serenity is still flyin' !

Remember , little albatros , Love keeps her in the air . Tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens .

Never mind about all the math in the verse . That's for the bean-counters . We're BROWNCOATS , gorrammit !

We're gonna 'choke' the naysayers with their own words !

Guess I should properly introduce myself. I'll do so using my Firefly testimonial from the Virtual Firefly boards:

Well, here goes.

My brother moved in almost three months ago (read: the beginning of May). He bugged me a couple of days later while watching the pilot. It was "Come see Jayne! He's hilarious; you'll love him!" or some such to that extent. I resisted. I was tired, and busy, and most of the things my brother finds interesting I don't. But, I had to go past the TV sometime.

He talked at me some more, made me watch the part where Mal uses the sticky through the "Any one you can walk away from" line. Still a little bored, kind of tired. I don't remember what it was at the time, but I sat down later and popped it in (or my brother popped it in - the details are fuzzy). I'm intrigued, and look - it's the redhead from "A Knight's Tale"! Playing with dinosaurs!

But, the clincher for me (as for a few of my friends) was the moment where Mal lies to Simon about Kaylee's status, and they laugh about it. That was so funny it hurt!

Over the course of the next four days (you heard me, four) I watched all the episodes and the movies. I said I'd watch Firefly until my eyes bled (which hasn't happened - yet). Firefly is like heroin - I was hooked from that first hit. Since then, I have watched the series and the movie nine times (once for every week I've had access to it; I let a friend borrow it for a couple other weeks), with commentary and without. I have found the filk and downloaded it. I have watched all the special features - again, with and without commentary. I have found pictures and pictures and interviews and interviews and articles and articles and bios and bios and reviews and reviews.

In the words of my brother: "You're geeking hard." I admit it. I L-O-V-E Firefly!

Forgive me, for I am new.
