Hey there newbie:

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

I find it best to watch with someone, preferably a loved one. Man, I'm excited. It's great when a new person is introduced to the 'Verse. I'm getting the notion to watch it all over again.

Well, enjoy and come on back. Take your shoes off and sit a spell. Welcome aboard!

We're building a better 'verse, one Browncoat at a time.

Shiny.
Welcome to the verse.
In case you are curious about how the time frames come together, try this thread:

Although when watching The Message, keep in mind it was the last Ep filmed, and was being filmed when cancellation was announced.

IsisIzabel (#31623) Welcome home, fellow FF-lover.
Pull up a strawberry. Chug a mug of Mudder's Milk. Come on up to the galley to question the buffet!!1! The shimmerwine is in the fountain at the aft end of the table. Ice-planets in the cooler, bottom shelf. We're down to three or four flavors but I'm off on a re-supply in a day or two.
Please do not step on ShipsCat or into her dish. :;-)

Spread the FF love whenever, wherever.

Welcome aboard, Is!

Some additional shiny resources (after you've watched the episodes AND Serenity, the motion picture (which caps off the series)...

I recommend that you check Amazon.com for cheap editions of the Firefly Visual Companion, vols 1 and 2, as well as the Serenity Visual Companion. They not only have the original scripts and production notes, but there are additional essays from Joss Whedon about the show.

Another, practically indispensable resource is the Serenity RPG. Even if you never roll the dice (though it's not a bad paper and pencil RPG), it is as close as we have to a technical manual for the 'Verse. It includes a Mandarin Chinese phrase glossary, system charts, equipment lists, explanations of the Alliance, 'Verse society, and technology... Excellent!

And, for more tales of the verse, Joss has been producing official comic books. The first set, which you can get as one collected volume, was "Those Left Behind," which takes place between the end of the series and the movie; more recently, "Better Days" was released (I haven't read it, yet, as I'm waiting for the collected set). Later on, the next series to be released will be titled, "A Shepherd's Tale," presumably a big reveal about Shepherd Book.

So, enjoy, and drop in with questions and comments! Welcome to the 'Verse!

Welcome to our corner of the 'verse!! Newbies are so cool, reminds me of the beginning. Now that you have joined us you need to know the first rule of FF/S(Firefly/Serenity) and the only rule:
A Browncoats responsibility is to RECRUIT more Browncoats!
Post often and its 'shiny' you found us!

Who's your favorite?
