I'm a 23 year old male nuclear engineering student, *spent 3 years working as a carpenter, don't ask* i despise most television and watch less than a half hr a week/month. I found out about firefly, like most, well after it was canceled, and it's cancellation is a confirmation of every reason I and most of my friends have given up on television.

I think the kind of people that are interested in firefly are the kind of people that enjoy they very rare combination of plot and action.

Geez, I don't feel so bad ;-) I am 51, teach at a State University. I have four college degrees, three kids, 2 cats, 1 wife (and she is insistant that it stay that way) ;-).

I tend to lurk on these site, not from a desire to be a hermit, but rather not enough time. I don't watch TV as a rule (we have no cable) and, like others, found out about the series after it cancelled.

I am also dumb struck when I look at things like "reality TV" and compare it to Firefly. I have high hopes that something will come out of the Browncoat movement like a message to Hollywood that says "WAKE UP! At the rate you are going, only morons will be left watching TV".

Wow, ain't we just the strangest folk?
Thank God that I hate normality
Myself, I'm 16, a guy, and almost but not quite a metalhead. Almost, mind.
I used to be really into SF, but now am more into Fantasy type stories ('Cept for Firelfy, o'course! ). Oh, and we musn't forget the Anime and Manga- blame my friends for that.
Oh, and a big welcome from me, ya? Always good to bring another 'Coat in!

Finally got my computer running!! It died, y'know. Power supply. My daughter asking "What's that funny smell?"

Anyway, I'm 50, female, Canadian (Toronto) have two kids ten years apart, went to university for the first time at age 35 and wasn't finally booted out until 2000, discovered that there isn't a lot of call for specialists in human evolution, went back to school and became a teacher three years ago. Job market here is crap so I teach part time at a small independent school and supply teach at Canada's most elite private school, Upper Canada College. Haven't run into any Browncoats there yet, but then I've only been supplying there since March. I'll find out this fall.

I've always been a fan of sci-fi movies and found Serenity. It blew me away. Only afterwards did I learn that there had been a series related to it. I don't watch tv sci-fi, the last series I watched with any regularity being Star Trek Voyager.

I'm trying to figure out why Firefly/Serenity has struck *such* a chord. I really don't know.

Hello Ruthie:

I am a 55 year old single male. A mechanical designer, so I am in front of the computer most of my life if you include coming to websites such as this one. I am an avid reader. Never with out a book. I read every thing. Science of course. But I also read a lot of military history and even an occasional Shakepearian play. So when I say everything I ain't kidding.

I started watching science fiction at age five with Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon. Along the same time there were other shows like Rocky Jones Space Ranger.

Later would come Men Into Space. Twilight Zone and Lost in Space.

Then the big one, Star Trek.

I think the reason I like science fiction is the freedom to create any type world or story that the writers imagination can come up with.

Don't be to worried about some of the post you see here. We like to have fun and play games. We tease alot, but we are serious about Firefly.

Ah Firefly.

I discovered Firefly when I went to Best Buys to find a new DVD to watch on a Saturday night. I pulled the Firefly collection out and saw Ron Glass was in it. I have always been a big Ron Glass fan so I bought it. Little did I know what a treasure I had found. Shortly after that I decided to find out if others knew about this program and I went on the net and discovered this site. The rest is history.

If you have read all these posts then you most know you are now known as a Browncoat for the uniform the Mal and Zoe wore in the revolt. Better than being called a Firefly.

So welcome to this site and join in and become a part.

If you reqire any help, please ask. I am not the most knowledgeable but there are plenty of people here who can give answers to almost anything. From facts about Firefly to tech help with your posts.

Cool thread! Shiny to meet everyone. I'm a 36 year old male actuary. Actually, I haven't passed all the exams yet. I took several years off to have 4 kids and move 3 times. I don't recommend Arizona because its too hot in the summer. Great place to visit, but I just don't want to live there.

GThing nailed it for me. I grew up first watching Start Trek TOS and Star Wars. I couldn't get enough. I'll watch anything with a Sci-Fi hook - Last Star Fighter, Damnation Alley, Lost in Space, V the mini series. My favorite shows now are Numb3rs, Lost, BSG, Heroes, and just about anything home improvement (I love getting my hands dirty).

My favorite authors are Vonnegut, Clarke, Asimov, CS Lewis, and Tolkien. I'd love to see a Foundation movie. I liked those books better than the Robot series. I minored in Philosophy and English in college so I enjoy the classic novelists as well.

Oh how I wish Firefly could go on.

I think we're all the same type of people here we love well written beautifully acted character driven story telling along with a tendancy to fall for lost causes and who knows making them found again.
Plus we all fell in love with a rickity old ship an her crew
Age sex and background count for nothin in the verse
