Hello,
welcome, I only discovered the best sci fi ever a year ago myself. As I posted before, it was never broadcasted over here in Germany. I´m only here since a few days myself.
I wish I had the chance to watch those 14 episodes again for the first time, as I will never forget the feeling, finishing "Objects in Space", discovering there is no more. I was soooo sad and angry.
But as I was digging deaper I found the whole browncoat movement and was totally impressed what all those people had achieved in the passed years, for one the DVD box, of course the movie and than their own dvd documentation!!! Since than it was clear for me, no power in the verse can stop the browncoats. That helped a lot;)
Don´t get me started on Fox, I´m getting mad only thinking about what chance they have wasted.
Why Joss Whedon is with them again for Dollhouse, I don´t get it.
Liked the trailer, lets see where he is taking us, hoping he is given the chance...
Enjoy your day and a warm welcome

hi,
i´m not familiar with all US TV as I´m too far away over here to get all relevant information on it.
But what they just did to New Amsterdam, a very good new series in my opinion, doesn´t give me much confidence to be honest.
Keep fingers crossed

wow! Wow! WOW!!!
What a reception. You guys are the best!! I can't believe after six years the show still has such an amazingly committed fanbase! This is just unreal! You guys are breathing hope into me and I'm grateful.
My depression is starting to subside a bit. I still find my daydreaming schedule leaning towards the show. You know what I'm talking about...driving in the car, taking a shower, watching boring tv, your mind wanders and looks for entertainment, mine just keeps going back to the show.
And I can't get "The Ballad of Serenity" out of head to save my life! I gotta be honest, I hated the song at first, but as I watched the show more and more, the song fit perfectly and is the best tribute possible to the show. I love the song now!
I still have no doubt if the show started out on the Sci-Fi network we would be soaking up Season Six today. I'm really, really starting to hate network TV. Over the past few years I make it a habit to not get hooked on a Freshman show. If a show looks like something I would like, I might watch the first couple of episodes and step back and wait to see if it gets a second season. I just got so tired of being burned. To be honest, this is the reason I waited so long to watch Firefly. I knew that the show was something unique and special, that it was a masterpiece (hey, I don't live in a cave, I knew all about Firefly). I avoided it for so long to avoid the depression I am suffering right now as I type. I honestly thought that I could prepare myself going in knowing that 14 episodes and a movie are all there is, keep that in mind and don't forget it. Distance yourself a little so the sting doesn't hurt so bad.
That didn't help at all. The show sucked me in grabbed hold of me like few shows in recent time have (Lost and Battlestar are the only ones today that have done close to the same thing).
I'm trying to decide if starting the series over again will help with the depression or make it worse. Thoughts? Does it help with the pain or make it worse?

OK, no one throw anything at me.
I've never seen a single episode of Buffy.NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Quote:Easily rectified! Just start at the beginning, and get hopelessly hooked by season two.

Welcome Fedrich519! - (I've never been able to get excited about Buffy either - so no stones from me, k?) Oh, I so recall how that 'depression' feels as while this site helps so very much, the pain of knowing there is no more hurts - for me, 3 years later. Finding Firefly and Serenity woke up something in my brain that had been sleeping for decades. Now I vote every hour for Firefly as the best tv show ever - I've joined the '76th' costume battalion and marched in the inaugural parade at Dragon*Con in Atlanta last year and will be there this year as well. I've joined other members at other cons to spread the word about the wonder of the 'verse. I've given the DVD's to friends and family for gifts; it's an obsession. I've bought all the 'companion' books - the two comic series - the Serenity special edition - I could go on; but you'll find out. It's a show that gets in your brain/body and heart and you just can't let go. I hope you find, as I did, that this site gives you some ease. Welcome.

For me it helped a lot to watch some episodes from time to time.
Everytime I feel a bit sad, as soon as I watch some Firefly, I get a big grin on my face and the world is shiny.
Wash in "The Train Job":
"Every man there go back inside or we will blow a new crater in this little moon"
...need to say more... ;)

Yeah , it is infectious...But , I was stricken with it at the get-go...
Keep your daydreams alive...Soon , you'll dream at night , too , and find yourself in the cargo bay , interacting with Miss Kaylee and the Cap'n...
'Cause once you've been in Serenity , you never leave...

Naw...Persistent Myth ! Skiffy would never have been the right home for Firefly over the long haul...They're too cheap and tacky !
