after a year of listening to me talk about the show,i gave my best friend my old copy to him(and a brand new set to my local library) a few days ago while he was visting me in nyc from ohio.anyway he is a star wars fan--and thats been it,but he has ben bummed out lately with the novels and ofcourse the movies,so anyhee,he just watched the pilot last night and loved it! he said he will be watching some more this weekend.and ofcourse he asked why it was cancelled-then stoped and realized it was on fox.i am giddy as a schoolgirl!

Congrats Nakedandarticulate!

Now all you have to do is convince him to show it to all of his friends in Ohio, and so on, and so on.......

I got two more this weekend...my dorm has a truly excellent movie room, with tiered sofas and 7 point surround and a huuuuuuge widescreen plasma TV, and so I got a few people to come watch it with me, and two were definitely hooked.

Serenity + Train Job seems to be irresistable.

We're watching more tonight

What a Fabulous idea. I'm about equidistant from a branch of the City library & another of the County library. Gotta check & see if they've already got it.

Keep the Shiny Side Up

Great work Thrawn!

Let us know how the second showing goes. Tell your new converts to tell their friends so they can spread the love.

I showed Firefly to someone that already decided they weren't going to like it even before they saw it! Why do people do that? They are only depriving themselves of something they could possibly really enjoy. I know several people like that. They see that everyone likes the show, so they start bad-mouthing it before they ever see it! Then, while they're watching, they look for any little thing they can to bring the show down, instead of just watching it and making a decision when it's over.

The funny part is that even while trying to talk bad about the show and stuff, when funny parts came up, they couldn't help but laugh! The show takes the worst critic and makes them a fan!
