I'm way behind the curve here as I just discovered this series/movie recently. I'm an American living/working in South Korea since 1998 and never heard of the show until I rented Serenity from my local DVD store.

Well it's been an immediate love affair. I ordered the complete Firefly series (after watching the disks I rented from Netflix) from Amazon a month ago and just put in my pre-order for the CE of Serenity.

I've been passing around the series DVD's in my office and have several others already hooked. I can't believe this series was never promoted or advertised over here. Fox really dropped the ball on this one IMHO.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello to you good folks in The Verse and let you know this show continues to find fans around the world despite the best efforts of Fox (The Alliance). Cheers!

Welcome to the ranks of the browncoats! Glad to have you here posting with us. We love hearing how new fans found the show.

Korea? Shiny! Talk about having a great opportunity for spreading the word. I can only imagine that not many people there are familiar with the series or the movie. Get out there and introduce them to the show! Good luck!

Take care and keep flyin'!

In the immortal words of our Captain, "You have no idea." Fox totally botched Firefly -- starting the day after they greenlighted the show. We can only hope that Universal catches on to the highly shiny nature of Serenity and brings us more adventures in the 'verse.

I'm pointin' right at it!

Welcome Maekchu! I share your 'guilt' at not finding Firefly until YEARS after it was on the network-that-WAS....I saw the movie, Serenity on cable a little over a year ago..got the DVD's and watched the show in a marathon session with my husband..both of us completely amazed at the stupidity of those who made the decision to cancel it! I'm so glad you found this site as it helped me tremendously to cope with the guilt/sorrow/pain that there will be no more. Taking part in some of the marketing strategies for the Collectors' Edition - voting for Firefly as the best TV show ever on the voting thread - joining the 76th Independent Army Battalion - all fun/helpful (for me anyway)...Keep making new Browncoats and pointing them here...we love new people and this is a good and welcoming place..so, welcome..

But there's no shame in arriving "late"...not like the shame you might find in...oh, I don't know...in, say...dropping your pants drunkenly at your niece's wedding...just to cite a purely hypothetical example...

It was like that when we got here!

Hey, welcome to our shiny site! Korea, huh? Nice. Never been there, then again I've never been out of North America (or even to Canada).

Shiny! Welcome aboard...just watch your head. Lots of people like to bump their head when getting into their bunk :P
