Believe me, no one would like to have a 10 season box set of this crew to watch and enjoy more than me, but that, IMO, will not happen. Will there some sort of reincarnation of this story..? I'll never give up hope for that... just saying that once the magic is let out of the bottle, it is very hard to recapture.
sorry for the inference, i really didn't mean it in a malicious way.

I say that, but deadlock has only been here since 2007. Damn, not even I ran out of Firefly related things to talk about that quickly.

yeah Finn, (see above) you summed it up pretty well..
Just to set the record straight... i began posting here just under a year ago.. but i was a low down, dirty, lurker here for quite a while before that - i enjoyed all the Firefly talk and the crazy stuff that went on back in the days of high anticipation of new movies, a revived series and all the great brain storming that went on to bring the show back... but i never really felt compelled to join in those discussions.... and then i stumbled into the RWED... and found a place to rant... And just like most folks here - there are times when the complete absurdity of the human condition has gotten the better of my judgement and i tend to GO OFF - not a pretty site to be sure, but i try my best to temper my anger with humor... funny to me - to a lot here - not so much...
so, here i am, warts and all... i really appreciate this community and the opportunity to let my little voice be heard.
oh yeah... and i really don't like to argue with people... i'm a pacifist for crying out loud

Quote:Which was? What TYPE of discussion are you referring to? The ones where people talk about stuff that has "nothing to do" with Firefly? You know, like... oh I dunno... honor, honesty, courage, freedom... all the people and thoughts that belongs in your "scum trap"?
Ah, and now you’ve proved my point... I’ve referred to a type of discussion
Or is it the discussions where you impugn your fellow Browncoats with such objective statments like You’re in denial or you (for example) would be up in the General or the scif board shooting your mouth off about all your crazy Marxist theories.
And now you weasel. Oh, I didn't mean it that way ... It wasn't an insult... I wouldn't dream of doing that myself
Ok Finn, why don't YOU go jump in a scum trap. That's's not an insult. Honest. I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Let's party like it's 1929.

It didn't seem malicious, and I did recognize it a bit out of context...no problem, thanks.

Everything's cool. Maybe I've let Firefly take control of a piece of my life too much since I got hooked 2+ years ago. Almost every day there is something...something, anything out there that for me is Firefly....whether it's Nathan, or Jewell news or any of them I lump it all together as Firefly. I met Nathan Fillion in Orlando in January..for me that was living Firefly.. I got his autographed pic hanging in my den...that's daily Firefly....I know...time for my shot.

Quote:We were probably all like that once, and maybe for some it never goes away, but for me, I could only maintain that kind of Fireflyness for about two years after the cancellation, then I had to find other things to talk about. So now I talk mostly in the scifi boards reviewing movies that I’ve seen, which I think others might be interested, or I get sucked into the scum trap.

NO, I'M NOT...!
but thanks for the welcome...as far as eye gouging and hair pulling... not so crazy about that, but just like NASCAR fans will tell you...they're not there for the spectacular wrecks.... (but they really are there for the spectacular wrecks...)
