Wow, sad to say I just finished watching Firefly for the first time...ever. It was amazing, Ive had serenity for some time now and am a big fan. After SDCC and seeing the browncoats everyday it started to creep into me, so last saturday i picked up the complete season...

I am so happy and yet so saddened.

I am happy because it was the best show I have ever seen... ever.

I am saddened because im thinking I missed it. In that I mean the fan push the banning together. All the local browncoats, are untouchable and the San diego brown coats sight seems very dead. None the less I want more, I need more, and after buying the graphic novel and so on, Im still not satisfied.

I have such a sad feeling because I know its finally over, I dont think we will see any more firefly... have to run but Im in love with the show and hope to stick around for a long long time :)

well, nice ta meet ya, but don't be so pessimistic. It ain't over yet. If you haven't noticed, there is hope (however small) of a Big Damn Sequel. So a lot of us do whatever it takes (bombarding Universal with thanks, guerrilla marketing)to increase the chances of us seeing more of the Firefly crew.

Always havin' a good time!

Really? In all seriousness! Thats great, well im all there :)

This show has really inspired me to turn my pursuits back into film production (many aspects)... I was going somewhere with that and forgot because of the doorbell!

I have these same feelings at least once a month but then I come here to this great site and just vent to a few people. They are always willing to listen, help boost your spirits and keep up hope that something will happen.

I find that its rather hard to be a Browncoat sometimes. But I love this 'verse and everything in it and I will always love it. Mal's voice tends to pop into my head:

"It may have been the losing side, not so sure it was the wrong one."

As long as we keep them in our heads and in our hearts, they will be there forever. If you ever need more, read some fanfic. Alot of this stuff is really good.

take care! keeep flyin!

I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

Welcome Josh:

Don't feel sad. You are one of the lucky people to have discovered this precious gem. Fox threw it away like so much trash, but you discovered it and realized it's true value. That is shiny. Remember that it is not over with yet. We got the movie because we are mighty. So don't be surprized if more comes our way. Appriciate what you have. It may seem small but it burns with a blinding light. You are a Browncoat. It does not matter how many we are or what will take place in the future, we have been given these wonderful episodes to enjoy and this website to share this experience, so when you get the mind to, watch them again, because there is always something new you never noticed before.

Welcome Josh, glad you joined us. Ask us anything. We may have it discussed before but we are always ready to discuss it again. There are people here who will help you with the site if you have questions about that as well. So feel at home.

Welcome home, Josh. You bring the fff.net crew to #22801 and I'm sure I speak for all when I say it's right shiny to have you aboard.

New recruits don't get off the ramp before they're given a dish of fresh strawerries and a mug of Mudder's Milk.

Then you're invited up to the galley (no need to dress) to question the buffet. There's always Wife Soup and hot cheese, and anything else we can cobble together as we go from planet to moon.

Ice-planets are in the cooler, bottom shelf. We're down to chocolate or Borosian ginger but that'll be rectified at our next stop.

Please try not to step on ShipsCat or into her dish.

I think you'll find some San Diego browncoats if you holler loudly enough. Put out a call on the board...

9/20 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAPTAIN MAL!!!!

Welcome home Josh..don't give up hope. I think that we all fall in love with Firefly/Serenity a little bit too hard and when we find out that the last ep, is just exactly that.. the last ep, we're just devastated. Familiar feeling to just about everyone here. You are among folk who will understand you.

Once we see the movie, we're even more lonely for more 'Verse and that same feeling will come upon you from time to time being a part of this fandom.

We're very busy though, you've arrived at a good time. We are celebrating the anniversary of the BDM ( Big Damn Movie) on the 30th of this month.
We're calling it the Serenity 'Versary. We're going to write Universal and tell them how much we appreciate them making Serenity for us. We're gonna have shindigs and viewing and recruiting parties. We're gonna have fun and we're gonna increase our numbers. You can also buy the DVD of Serenity again if you'd like to. Never hurts to have a loaner or to contribute to a library of your choice.

We also have a website that some Browncoats created to upload pictures to, in which you can say thank you to Universal. Click on the link above my signature banner it'll take you straight there.

We're a thriving growing community. Welcome home.

Oh, wait.. you need your browncoat!

*hands Josh a browncoat of his very own*

There you go, you're all set.

Welcome Aboard Josh,
I watched Firefly when it first aired on TV in 2002. I was devastated when it was canceled. I didn't know that it had been put out on DVD, so I was overjoyed when it was on the Sci Fi channel last summer. Words can't describe how excited I was to find out that Joss had made a movie, Serenity, last year! Since then I have found out that it was the Browncoats on the Internet that were a driving force that made it happen. Anything is possible in the future.

For right now enjoy the site, tell your friends about Firefly and Serenity, and if you need anything, get on the Cortex and send us a wave.

and the comic books? Have you read the comics?
Because Joss is working on more as we speak...
so the story is continuing...
and eventually we WILL get our sequel

but I get these down feelings, we've all been there,
but when ever you feel low then:

read the unaired script:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/feature.asp?f=45

watch the R. Tam Session vids: http://www.hittarivertam.nu/

and buy the 'Serenity' comics published by Dark Horse,

and I highly recommend Joss Whedon's 'Serenity: The Official Visual Companion' which has more in the script than made it to the screen (so it is a VERY fun read)
besides it has story boards, drawings by the costume and set designers, and lots of production memos which are must reads (really reveal everything Joss wants in this film, and how patiently he feels about it all).

what else am I forgetting?
oh yeah...don't miss out on this (huge spoilers):
