Good idea about e-mailing Sci-Fi Channel to thank them. I believe if we are relentless we'll get a BDS. Someone, somewhere will sit up and take notice our BDH get love for all over the world, all this 6 years after the fact.

Impossible ain't got a chance!



Thanks, Shinygoodguy

Never lose hope my friend, but no one thing is going to get us a BDS. If Universal sees (through Neilsons and e-mails) that there's still a following for our BDHs, they might sit up and notice. It's far more likely that they won't. What's Most likely is, we will have added a few hardcore Browncoats to our numbers, and coincidentally had a Shiny time doing it!

Thats certainly reason enough to me for watching Serenity on Jan 3rd.

I have heard that there is going to be a Shindig in North Carolina, possibly one in Terre Haute Indiana.... have also heard personally from BCs in Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, St Louis and Seattle. Thank yous all around for that.

Lets please get some more folks involved getting the word out about this. Especially the part about newbies and e-mailing feedback@scifi.com to say Thanks. If anyone has an activity in mind for this, even if it's just a get-together at home, please post it here and let us know what's happening out your way!

Finally, a reason to subscribe to Cable! (My hubby is convinced that Battlestar Galactica is a reason, but I think the BDS and BDM top it. But don't tell *him* that!)

Are there any Browncoats in Northern VA that are organizing anything? I just moved here and am beginning the search for other fans here.

*keep flyin!*

Aisling, I looked for "Virginia Browncoats" in Yahoo Groups, and there are literally dozens. You might take a look there, and see if any of them know about this (thereby spreading the word, right?), and checking to see if they're DOing anything about it.

If anyone else knows of Virginia BCs thet want to watch the Premiere with other BCs, please give Aisling a shout-out. Thanks!

Sci-Fi has added another showing of the BDM on Thursday, February 19 at 9pm Eastern. Unfortunately, still no Firefly.

Thanx, EC. I'm disappointed at no Firefly Marathon, but kind of unsurprised. They never did know how to promote the BDM, and they don't seem to even be trying now.

I guess it's up to us. Let's keep getting the word out, folks. I attatched a template for a promo poster on the SciFi and UniversalHD forum boards, if anyone would like to use it. Just go to the "Serenity on SciFi Channel" posts on either board. And once again, Xie-xie to everyone who passes the word and/or watches on Jan 3rd!

I'm watching the Tin Man series right now, and they're giving Serenity plenty of advertising. Let's hope they don't change their schedule on Saturday at the last moment. *knocks on wood*
