Aaaaaawwwwwwww been there. The only thing to help you get over the pain is to watch it again.
The only thing better than watching Firefly for the first time is rewatching it for the 20th time.
There is the movie, Serenity, same cast, written and directed, by Joss.
More story is told in comic book form by Joss. Those Left Behind bridges the gap from show to movie. Better Days is set in the Firefly world.
Serenity is good but not Firefly its a movie so its not the same.
*hugs*
It will get better. I recommend the fan documentary Done The Impossible. Also meeting other browncoats is a wonderful experience, attend a Con or a Shindig.
Keep Flying,
Rosie

Thanks for all your comments. I did actually watch the film last night and totally agree in that is was very good but not the same. Still had me in stitches a couple of times though "If you want to take of the ship just say so" Jayne:"I want to take over the ship"..."Well you cant" Just brilliant :) so different and so real.
I have bought the DVD into the office today as I intend to enlighten the whole office in the phenonomen which is Firefly and perhaps have the first Corporate Browncoat?
I dont know if Mr Weedon ever looks at these sites but in case he does....Joss, even with the demise of the Shephard and Wash you owe it to those who appreciate pure entertainment to deliver more. There is not much to look forward to in 2009 but series two of Firefly could lift the spirits of the nation, nee the world:)
Thanks again all who replied to my original post and Joss, we are all counting on you :)

Just a thought, but why don’t 'they' put info regarding browncoats and other pressure groups actually in the DVD sets?

That would be advancing the enemy, and since you haven't been around here long, we DO NOT mention the network(F*X, this is the only way) we DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING NICE to say about said network, and THEY KNOW IT!!!!
Welcome, join your local group, go to Yahoo and search on groups, "Firefly".
Note: Joss has said several times, he has NO control or say as to whats on the DVD's, nor can he say anything about the covers, we didn't care for the first release of FF/S.----(FF/S is Firefly/Serenity, our code for the show and movie is BDS-big damn show and BDM--big damn movie.)

Hello all from Dallas, TX 
Add me to the "newbie" list that thinks this show is a rare jem. I'm primarily a TV/DVD collector of shows spanning from the late 50's thru mid-90's. Most of my collection falls in the 60's-80's decades. I first heard about Firefly on another forum..."Home Theater Forum" on the TV/DVD board. I initially passed on the Firefly thread since I knew that the show was of a more recent vintage than I normally view/collect but I noticed that the thread was compiling posts at a "full-burn" rate. So I asked my nephew about this show and he said "You gotta check it out. Here's my DVD set". Well, I have to tell you all, I was amazed that a 21st-century show was this good . I really enjoyed the unusually-original soundtrack and storylines and blew through this show like there were Reavers on my tail That's something that I rarely do when viewing a TV/DVD set.
I watched the movie (Serenity) last year on my Satt TV Provider and have since bought the recent Collector's Ed DVD. I was fortuante to have first watched the series before the film. I thought that the film did a good job of closing some storylines.
I recently bought my own copy of the series and started watching it for the 2nd time last night. Get this: I went through Disc 1 before turning out the lights last night I never do that. Interesting
Now, the question I have is....what's the average age here? I gotta be the "Grandpa" of this Bd 
I'll close this post with a test of my memory from Serenity. You guys have to check me on this quote from "Mal". It was one of my favorites from the film:
"When I start a war I guarantee you you'll see something new!".
How did I do?
Later, Browncoats Scoop / Dallas, TX
