D'oH!

And yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean, Firefly is a place you could BE, that you might WANT to be, as opposed to most stories which you watch from a distance.

On that note, flannel pants are just awesome, they are...

Welcome to the verse, fella browncoat.

We know what you mean. So what was the moment that grabbed you?

Don't demean your meaningful passion for Firefly by calling it an "obsession", our society totally uses that word wrong, in real life it comes from the Greek word meaning punishment and refers to something horrid that you don't want to think about but which you can't get out of your head. I think we all love Firefly here, so its a passion, not an obsession.

Just sayin'

Howdy Serein! Welcome aboard!

It is always pleasant and fun having folk come here and join after just finding Firefly. Their energy radiates like, well, like a Firefly!

Glad that you’re here. And my utmost respect for the folk over at the Science Channel. They play and promote the show as it should have been back in 02.

See ya & enjoy the site. ZBP

There is a Browncoat charity event in Norfolk on Sept 22, if you should be so inclined!

Welcome Serein! If it makes sense, Firefly is a family that continues to 'grow' even after a decade!

Welcome home. Once you've been to Serenity, you never leave :)

I've been here for a long time now (I'm one of the early 'coats that fought to keep it on the air). I know exactly what you mean. This show just strikes a chord with you.

For me, it was their driving survival. At the time the show aired, my mom was undergoing chemo for colon cancer that was found during an ER visit for what she thought was severe food poisoning. Needless to say money was very tight and and Mal's' "we're still flyin'" resonated.

And then, there are the fans. I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet some of my fellow 'coats, and people involved in the show. I've found them to be like reuniting with a long lost friends. I've seen browncoats assist with work searches, throw backup bashes when official events fell through, provide crashspace, weddings,help each other move, get the firefly DVD's into space, stocked on local library shelves, fire departments, etc. I think you will find that overall the browncoat community is full of some of the most interesting and good hearted people around (trolls which are around, do not count!).

Welcome, Serein. You are right where I was 16 months ago when I discovered it and nearly flunked out of grad school in the process.

Isn't Firefly grand? I love the crew. I love the ship. No place I'd rather be.

And the folks here are really nice.

The information will show up here[url= http://community.cantstoptheserenity.com/viewforum.php?f=43] soon. [/url]. Can't Stop the Serenity is in its 7th year raising money for Joss's favourite charity, Equality Now. Cities around the world show Serenity in Movie Theatres (and smaller venues)and it is a great way to meet fellow Browncoats.

There's no better way to see the Big Damn Movie than with fellow Browncoats while fighting for a cause.
