A friend of mine prodded and bothered and poked me to watch Firefly, and I just never found time to do it. Then I found the 4-DVD set at Borders on sale for $25, so I decided to check it out. I just finished Jaynestown (Saying this so no one spoils me D:), and WOW. This show is so awesome. I have always been a fan of westerns and any "serious" type shows that have a good bit of humour in them. This show is like a combination of all the things I like in TV. I rarely watch TV, but I find myself going "Why the heck is this not still on?"

Anyway, found this site through a Google search, and I look forward to poking around, seeing what's here, and hopefully meeting some groovy people.

I saw that Ron Glass is gonna be at DragonCon this year (I live just outside Atlanta), which looks awesome. Never been to DragonCon before - didn't realize it was so expensive @_@ Saw a few video clips from the Firefly panel from last year, and Wow. It's so cool when a group does something like that for its fans. Does stuff like that happen often with this crew?

Okay, I think that's enough from me. Gonna go down a Full Throttle and call it a night. Cheers!

Welcome! We are a friendly bunch.

I have made it to the last three DragonCons. I've loved them.

Oh, and I like the Beatles, too.

You're up to Jaynestown and love the show - I expect you'll be giddy and blown away with the next 3, which many vote as their favorites. After Serenity The Big Damn Movie the first part of the series I saw was the end of Ariel, and I was stunned, had to have me some more.
Welcome aboard, enjoy the shiny show.
Remember to watch for the Can't Stop The Serenity screenings in Cinemas in the next few months.

BEATLESFAN welcome aboard!!

If Jaynestown is where you’ve left off, then without spoiling anything I would say that you’ve got a “Ton of more Joy” left to watch. I’ve been a member here for over 3 years and that’s a short time compared to many other browncoats.

A lot fans are keeping up with the actors from Firefly/Serenity and you know they are really good in their other shows as well. These actors are professional through and through , a joy to watch.

Glad that you’ve joined up, see ya, Z

Cheers for all the welcomes. All I've seen so far is the first 2 disks of the show. I didn't even know there was a movie until my eBay addiction got the better of me and I started browsing. I look forward to finishing the series and, of course, ordering the movie.

I'll have to start a "Firefly Journal" and do a quick recap to this point before I embark forward. I don't think I mentioned before, but while it's a ridiculously close race, I have been able to narrow down my favourites to Kaylee and Simon. Simon seems like the most original character (at least in genres I watch), and Kaylee is just adorable. Well, that and I'm still recovering from the moment I first saw her and went, "Holy cow it's Catalina from Space Cases!! WHOA!"

I look forward to all the "goodies" that are included on the box set as well as finishing the series so can go see all the fan vids and such online. I have trouble researching this because there are spoilers EVERYWHERE.

Go slow, you're only a newbie once.
And watch it for spoilers around here, they can even be in the thread titles, so don't go pokin' through archived stuff 'till ya finish.
