Hey everyone on the boards:

FYI, Txgunslinger (above) is talking about me. Please give me a hand here. I want him to know that I didn't place our friendship in Jeopardy! (I hardly even watch that show) HE did so when he refused to watch our show!

I need everyone (who feels like it) to respond to him with how they feel about about a "FRIEND" who wouldn't even buy the DVD set when I offered to reimburse him for it (INCLUDING SHIPPING AND TAX!!!) IF he didn't like it!

I have faith in my Fellow Firefly Fans to let Txgunslinger have it with both barrels!

He needs to be on board (Serenity--so to speak)!!
Tell him to get with the program!

My sincere thanks to anyone who does this.

You gave him a money back guarantee on a sure bet and he BALKED????

For shame TXGunslinger...for shame!

For that offense you must now convert 5 Browncoats to the cause, say 3 Hail Rivers and buy Malicious 20 Jell-o shots.

Neroli,

AND buy the DVD!!

I am still reeling from his treachery. Thanks to you, though, he now knows what acts of contrition he has to do to win back my friendship. Let's just hope he steps up. I have my doubts, though, after this. He takes so much looking after...

Then in March of this year, my sister came to visit with a birthday present. It was in an Amazon box, i was able to life up the flap just enough to see the beginning F in Firefly and i totally freaked. I like started ripping at the box like a wild animal trying to get the box open so i could see my shiny and new boxed set...thats when i knew i was hooked.

That sounds so much like my experience with Buffy. When I saw the first season I thought it was pretty cool but didn't make a point of always catching it. 6 months later, when I read the air dates for season 2 in a magazine, I started marking the days off on a calendar.

As for Firefly, in someways I was obsessed (obsessed with getting hold of it at least) as soon as I read that the DVDs where being given a UK release. I'd only seen a tiny 10 second ad (Mal walking into the hold and stopping the fed mid-sentence with a bullet, from 'Serenity') upto then but I spent a week going into shops everyday and staring longingly at the box set (I'm very, very poor just now). Eventually I resolved not to eat much for a month or so and bought it.

I

ed and I

ed and it was all worth it.

I have no faith but it's all that I want
to be loved and believe
in my soul.

Ok, make that buy 2 DVD's, convert 5 Browncoats to the cause, say 3 Hail Rivers and buy Mallicious 20 Jell-o shots!

You poor thing! Having to watch Serenity as penance! All by your self! How about we watch it together and you can have some of my jell-o shots as further penance. And maybe some popcorn.

So I was in Italy when Firefly went on the air. I didn't hear of it at all. I missed the time it was on television and I missed the cancellation (so greatful about that as I do not believe I could have lived through it). I came back to the states after a year and during Chistmas I was at my parents house and my brother and his fiance were there and they mentioned to me that there was this show that just came out on dvd that I would like.

History- I watched Buffy and I watch Angel but I m not obsessed with them. However, my family does have a slight Star Wars obsession...we all tend to watch 4,5,6 when we are sick.

So my brother told me that Firefly was really good, that I would like it and that no I couldn't watch it on TV as fox execs are really just revisions of Niska that have found a new way to torture people. So I remembered the name Firefly but I didn't watch it at all. Then I went up to visit my bros when I had a break from school (I am a college senior). He was making us all dinner and we were trying to decide something to watch. Eventually we couldn't decide (he has a lot od dvds) so he made an exec decission and put firefly in. I was hooked. I watched all of the episodes that night (well OiS ended at 7am so I guess morning also). I didn't sleep at all and then I had to drive four hours home and study for a test. I now own the dvd and I watch it all the time...I also made my mom really upset at fox when I got her hooked on it also. I never go online and read fanfic, but with firefly I had to. I also was writing my final paper for an art history seminar the night before it was due (yeah I am a procrastinator) and put off the last half of it to watch out of gas. I am currently trying to convert a friend that is an avid angel fan, I lent her my disc one. She however has not found the time to watch it. I think this is the problem, once you do watch them you are hooked...it is finding the time to watch serenity in the first place that is the trouble...after that you seem to find time to watch all of them whenever, and the commentaries, and the extras, and get news on the web, and read fanfics....etc.

you're part of my crew...why are we still talking about this?

Sounds good to me. It's just so hard watching Serenity alone.

THAT'S why it is pennance! Or is it pennants? Either way, a 'coats gotta do what a 'coats gotta do. It's a tough row to hoe, but you put your shoulders into in and your nose to the grindstone, and blah blah blah, until you've watched enough Firefly episodes to make up for the bad, bad thing you have done. And voila! You get little flags of your favorite team to hang up in your room!

Don't you feel better now?

As a reward, go watch Out of Gas and Objects in Space.

Oh, I do feel better, but can I watch Jaynestown as my reward instead? Or Ariel? mmmmmmm....Jayne, no shirt...oh yeah!

See, this is why the series needed to go longer, we never got a Jayne nekkid ep...you Mal fans got nekkid Mal! We Jayne fans want our nekkid Jayne!
