That's true, BC1. I keep thinking about how we can increase the recruiting momentum...what do you all think about some kind of system where you can 'register' who you recruited (or who recruited you) on one of the websites (maybe browncoats.com?) and with the promise of some vague future prizes (weekly, monthly, lifetime) for those who convert/recruit the most? Of course you would have to have some system of e-mail responding with the word in an image or something to prevent cheating/automated registrations, but I think it would be doable and it might help motivate some folks who have already converted their really close family and friends, but may not have taken it to the next circle of more casual friends, co-workers, etc.
What do you think?
I think that is a good idea shiny, but of course it would have to be on the honor system as we have no way to confirm recruitment.
I wish there was some way to get a somewhat accurate count of the fanbase. The problem is not everyone has internet access, and many just lurk & read, not post.

Double duty: Alan Tudyk thought he was a pirate but fit right in with the misfits in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," but perhaps his weirdest turn this summer was as the title robot in "I, Robot." His voice and movements provided the robot with its human qualities, a la Andy Serkis' Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Tudyk, a regular on Joss Whedon's short-lived TV series "Firefly," will reprise his character when it moves to the big screen next year as "Serenity."

The movie Serenity is a spin-off of Whedon's pet project Firefly. That TV series lasted a mere 11 episodes on the Fox network in 2002 before it was cancelled. It never made it to Singapore. Being an avid Whedon fan, I had bought the DVD box set and fallen in love with its witty blend of space opera and western genres.
So the opportunity to see the set was the equivalent of visiting the mothership. I got to walk through the sets and do the groupie thing by taking a picture in the cockpit of the spaceship set. I even swiped a small stack of decorative stickers, which served as signage on a recently dismantled set, as souvenirs.
I also got to meet some of the cast members, who were shooting the breeze in a quiet corner of the soundstage as the stunt coordinator worked out an elaborate fight sequence in a bar set full of extras.
