Ahhhh, silly me.

Thanks for assuming I'm a lady.
I DO have girl parts but you could've spelled it out.
Folks here are pretty easy going about such things.

I'm glad you've joined us.
Always nice to have gentlemanly gentlemen here.

your story is only different from all of ours' in the method, not the degree of obsession. I got hooked about 5 min into my first episode, been around here ever since

And sadly, there is no 12 step program. There's only Cold Turkey, and it's a real bummer, relieved only by the hope that there will be dome mopre to be hooked on someday...

Meanwhuile, welcome to the party.

It IS ridiculous though, how one gets hooked on this series so easily. It's just that damn good. Maybe it's because it's so short: it makes what there is more beautiful.

Welcome! You are in fine company.

A good way to show your support is to vote for Firefly as the best show ever at
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html .

I work at my PC and since you can vote up to once an hour, I've downloaded FlyVote ( http://usbmicro.com/misc) which pops up every hour automagically to make regular voting that much easier...

Also, a good way to show your support is to sign up at the Universal HD Firefly forums ( http://boards.nbcuni.com/universalHD/index.php?showforum=4) as Universal is the only company paying attention to Browncoats right now. They show FireFly every Saturday night on Unversal HD. Even if you don't get that channel, it's good to log into their forums on Saturday around 8pm because the Admin there actually reports to the people at Universal. It is my undertanding that it BECAUSE of the active Firefly forum over there that Universal HD is running the show at all this year.

Oh, and also, you can show your support by writing a review for the series on hulu.com (

) where you can watch the entire series for free online.

I feel it is the responsibility of us newcomers to help carry on the fight for those who have been here fighting for more Firefly all along.

Zoe: Don't think its a good spot sir, she still has the advantage over us.
Mal: Everyone always does; that's what makes us special.

Welcome FNG. Typical use of the acronym from a Vet. I like that. I'm a retired Vet myself.

I think some things may be misunderstood or have a bad sterotype, and one is that there's supposed to be something wrong with being a Trekkie or a Star Wars freak, which I must say I'm guilty of both. However, having said that I've been a Firefly fan from the beginning. My state of mind could only go back further if I'd been involved in the production. This thing hit me like a ton of bricks and honestly took over my top spot for favorite series of all time, which had previously been Star Trek. All that with a pilot and 13 episodes. Powerful stuff.

I'm not sure if there's a multi-step program for our affliction with something as amazing as Firefly. I honestly hope (short of a labotomy), that there isn't. I have several copies of the series (gotta make sure I have extras I can loan out to convert disbelievers) as well as all versions (and extras) of Serenity. Got the comics, got the figures (6 sets so far, not sure how many there are, Inara and her 'crossbow' is sure cool) and both volumes of the official companion, as well as shirts and not sure what else off the top of my head....

So, many others are smitten, in a big way and I'm sure I speak for others in saying we're glad to welcome another to our ranks.
