Welcome!!
I personally really enjoy the 3 Companion Books. And the documentary Done The Impossible will make you cry.

Welcome! Wear that virtual Browncoat with pride.

Byte... Thanks for the plug on my writing

And Bog, don't read mine until you have seen Serenity... Spoiler warning

another good author who does the Rayne thing (Pairing River and Jane up together) is Badkarma00. well written and very Jayne centric.

He has some of his stuff here but his full works are at fanfiction.net. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1341518/badkarma00 There is a whole bunch of firefly stuff over there as well.

That is all

Welcome aboard, Bog. Browncoats enjoy a bitter sweet knowledge, of having been a part of the best damn show ever, and then having it taken away, only to have part 1 of the Big Damn Movie ( trilogy ? meh ) finally make it to theatres.

But we're still here. It's what we do.

The T.Rex they call JANE!

Which part(s) makes you cry? I can tell you the part that does it for me. It's when the husband with the deep voice is talking about how busy we are in our lives, and when there is something great to watch like Firefly, then they just take it away from you. He gets choked up, as his wife says, and so do I, every time. Done The Impossible is a fantastic and necessary component of the Firefly verse. There are few things out there that you can say that you love every minute of, and DTI is just plain awesome.

Personally I don't think you're missing a whole lot. Some like it. Others don't.

Let's just say it hasn't caught on like wild fire around here.

ecgordon,

Thanks for that link! I've read almost all the fanfic I can get my hands on, and hadn't heard about this novel - can't wait to get home and read it!

Bogmonkey: welcome! I'm relatively new to this board myself, and everyone is great - but the debates in the Real World Forum can get really heated, so beware!

I am just stunned...after every episode I watched I shook my head and said to my friend: "this can't be this good, no show is this good."...and the episodes just KEPT COMING.

EVERY ONE is a classic! Seriously EVERY ONE.

I kept expecting things to go to hell, and the episodes to become boring and trite. Or for the preaching to come, like in Star Trek. Yet, the wit stayed strong, and just got BETTER.

AMAZING...I am just glowy with praise.

We're all just glowy...That's what keeps the fires burnin' and the fans a-turnin'...

Don't forget the Firefly podcasts , like 'The Signal' , they'll get you up to flyin' speed in no time :

Lots of great stuff at Firefly Talk , too :

Once again , welcome to the boat...'Cause once you've been in Serenity , you'll never leave...

Try Csstle, Nathan Fillion's show. I'ts pretty good.

This Monday he donned the Browncoat, slanty gun belt and whipped out his pistol in a Halloween episode that was full of Firefly goodness (available on Hulu, ABC.com and iTunes).

It'a now at the beginning of it's second season and first season DVDs are available and even a book by "Richard Castle" that's been referenced in the show is available to read.

Just watched it for the first time a month ago, in the process of watching it again now. Went to see Serenity and loved it but never got the chance to watch Firefly then :( Years go by until watching Serenity again and decide to buy Firefly and check it out---and I totally agree----
Firefly is the best freaking show ever.
I am going through the 5 stages of grief, knowing it is gone forever except for my precious DVDs.
I also want to kick myself over and over for never watching it before this, but I console myself with the thought that I have spared myself 8 years of trauma and sadness that all the other Firefly fans had. My sadness is now.
Love all the characters, love the writing , the funniest lines ever (delivered perfectly!), love that damn flying chicken of a ship! FOX is retarded and Joss is awesome.

And wouldn't you LOVE to know how many firefly fans there are now!? Someone should do a census.

How did you sneak by without getting your Browncoat? It's mandatory.

*opens the closet door, gets out a Brown coat and give it to CrimsonTwist* This one wasn't even dusty.
