Go to a toy store or any discount store's toy department and buy 2 cheap dinosauars to play with. They must be a stegosaurus and a T-rex in order to recreate "This Land".

When not being used they are to propped on the top of your monitor if it's not an LCD one. Put them beside the monitor is it is LCD. They will provide all sorts of Wash fun.

And don't forget, once you're well 'versed in Firefly lore, start to convert others. My wife and I have the tactic of loaning out disk 1 of the BDS (Big Damned Series), then when it's returned and the request comes for the rest we tell them they need to go out and buy their own copy. The series has also become our most frequent gift for birthdays, house-warmings, whatever.

Can't stop the signal.

Ahoy, NotLogical!
People like to fly with us 'cos our ship's
the best. In the spirit of that, I bid you
the traditional Welcome Home, offer you
this dish of strawberries and cream, and follow
that up with a mug of Mudder's Milk.

Then you are invited up to the galley to question
the buffet.

Ghost site? Mmm. You are #22464. We just
keep on growing. Nope, SereniFly turned out to
have more staying power than some folks expected.
We are back on the air, the original
episodes airing on SciFi, the movie on HBO. Our
presence is noticeable at conventions. There are
other fine sites, and many of us cross back and
forth (sometimes it depends on who's up and who's
down).

Be sure to spread the love to others in your orbit.
The more of us there are, making our presence known,
the greater the chance we'll get more of the 'Verse
and the shiny ship and crew we love.

Hmmm...gobsmacked I am.
All I can say again is Thankyou!
To date I have watched 13 of the 14 episodes. I would have watched the last 1 but I know that's where the series ends & I don't want it to.
I have no idea what's in the last episode so it will be a complete surprise to me.
It sits there taunting me like the last bite in THE most delicious meal you can imagine.
Do I give in to these almost unbearable convulsions of expectation? or do I continue my spasmodic salivation(I've had to change my shirt 5 times already) for a little longer?
Anyone jealous? HeHe..
Anyways, today is the day. In writing that stuff I was actually teasing myself & I can't wait any longer.
Be honest with me now, is there really any hope of new episodes or is blind faith the measure of the day?
Let me down gently

First of all welcome to the boat NotLogical. I think you are the first and only person I know of that has joined this site (or any other) that hasn't seen at least some FF/Serenity. It puts you in a category all by yourself ( I mean that in a good way). I mean the enthusiasm and dedication of the browncoats here has lured you into signing up sight unseen,GREAT!

I had a question for you but Doncoat asked it first and you gave your (good) answer.Anyway glad to have you here. I assume that you have finally taken the plung and seen the last eps.If you haven't, what are you waiting for?

TrailerRunnerMark, so you guys start by letting your friends only see the FF pilot then refuse to let them see the rest. You are evil little browncoats. Great Idea!! I need to try this also

NotLogical, let me see if I can help ya here.

Firefly is the second SF series to get a movie (ie: theater not TV movie) after it was cancalled by the network. The first was Star Trek.

It took Star Trek about 12 years to get that first movie.

It took Firefly three years.

Like Trek, Firefly fandom is continually expanding, not contracting as most fandoms do when the show is no longer on the air.

Like Star Trek fans, Browncoats are willing to spend money to get things related to that show. Some things the manufacturers have had a hard time keeping in stock. The Series DVD was unavaliable in a number of areas the first 4 months it was out due to the demand. The T-shirts at Hot Topic sell out relatively quickly.

Merchandising--especially the DVDs--is a big money maker for production companies. Add to that we're making ourselves seen and heard. We write them (Universal), we've organized charity screenings (which did great things for 'Equality Now' this past June) but also did nice things for Universal.

Nothing is a gimme. If we want more, we have to do something to get it. Which brings us to the current day. We're recruiting more and more folks every day. We're writing Universal, SciFi, (basically anyone we think may actually listen to us) and let them know what we want and who we are; that we appreciate good programming and support those who sponser it. We have incomes we're willing to spend on it. And we appreciate what they've already done for us. This is ALL important.

So, iffin ya want more, join the fight. We're holding until the Capt'n gets back.

RMMC what a great answer to my question. It is obvious the flames of hope still burn brightly in the verse.
Just consider me another log on your fire
