Howdy. As you may or may not be aware the Farscape Mini is airing this Sunday and Monday on the Sci Fi channel. It has occurred to me that although there are plenty of Scapers who are big Firefly fans, the reverse may not be true.
So. This is my proposal: Would any Browncoats who were not originally going to watch the Mini be willing to if you were guaranteed that a Scaper that was not originally going to see Serenity would go? A sort of exchange program, or a sponsorship of fans supporting each other’s shows. This way Scapers get more eyeballs for the Mini, (which I have been told you do not have to have knowledge of the history of the show in order to enjoy. It is newbie friendly), and Serenity gets higher box office numbers. Win win.
So who is in?
Please.

As you can see i'm a scaper too. I would go see Serenity if you guys will watch the Farscape Mini.

I'm not really, technically a Scaper (I've only seen seasons 1 & 2), but I was going to watch the mini-series anyway. Does that count?

well I find this all very confusing...because frankly I can't imagine you wanting to skip 'Serenity' even if someone is too ignorant to know that Farscape is a great show!

But I will admit that I am a new Scraper...
I loved Firefly from day one because I was already a BtVS & Ats fan,
but I didn't watch many new sci-fi shows
(I had been disappointed too often)..

However a few weeks ago I went to a link
TheSpaceSite.com to participate in a poll
and I was impressed with the love that Farscape had inspired.
So when the marathon started I started watching from the first episode...
and I am completely hooked!
I just saw the Looney Toons episode! OMG!
That is right up there w/Joss' musical Buffy episode...
I am having sooo much fun!
So thank you to all Farscape fans for turning me on to this great show.

I haven't watched Farscape but I plan on watching the mini-series.

There are three kinds of people: fighters, lovers, and screamers.

I'm not REALLY a Scaper, but I've seen maybe half the Farscape episodes, and will most definately be watching the mini-series!

This sounds like a great idea. I never really could seem to get into Farscape, and gave up near the end of season 1, but if my watching it helps out Scapers, and they in turn go see the movie "Serenity", than sure, count me in.

Like you said, it is a win/win situation.

Hey, y'all!

I just joined your site today in response to JAM's plea for support over on www.watchfarscape.com. :D

I am a Browncoated Scaper. While I was indeed planning on seeing Serenity, I am now planning on seeing it multiple times and dragging a different person to each viewing. I love Firefly (mmmm Mal... mmmmm Jayne...) and I love sharing my favorite things, so it's a win-win.
