SERENITY was the best christmas present that I've ever had.( Thank you to the coolest people I know -- The Bavarian 4 of Newark, CA)
A few days later... My sister brought home a copy of FIREFLY (the whole set) and needless to say... we are hooked and we want MORE!!!!!!
My initial response to the whole thing was a mixture of pure delight with a little bit of angst and frustration. Delight because I have finally found the best show/movie to get hooked on... Awesome cast/characters, Great music, Amazing and witty script, and a classic epic story. The angst and frustration part derives from the fact that I was never made aware of FIREFLY when it was still on TV. Which gosh forsaken cave was I in when the show was still on air? ARRGHH!!!!!
Anyway... Can't do anything about that now so instead I'm gonna do my best to spread the word around. I've already told countless people about how much I love FIREFLY/SERENITY and I believe that it's going to spread like wildfire. There will be more fresh recruits like me and once you've seen the movie or watched an episode... how can you not like it?? Eventually.... It will happen. Mal and the rest of the crew will once again fly and we will be here to make sure that they continue to fly for a long long time.
I already know what to do when I get my next paycheck... I'm going to get my very own copy of FIREFLY and just in case my lottery playing finally pays off... We will see our dream happen sooner that we thought possible. For now... Count me in as a new recruit and please.... Don't give up.

Warms the heart, I tell ya what.

Welcome aboard, TG! I can sympathize with the delight/angst mixture myself. More angst-y feeling in there, though, from the long months between cancellation and movie announcement. Glad to have you on the board. Now get out there, and recruit, Browncoat!

Good luck w/ introducing friends & family to it. The more the merrier, right?

Welcome aboard, dear young recruit! Oh, the tales we could tell you, those of us who have been around for years and years. Oh, wait.. you can read those tales yourself, as most are posted all across this glorious board! But it's been a roller coaster ride...seeing FIRELFY take off, the fan sites, the grouding of FIREFLY by those at F*X TV , the Cons, having the DVD of FIREFLY come out, then hearing the news of the BDM, and then having the premier of the BDM pushed back several months, the early screenings, more Cons, the FIREFLY/SERENITY related podcasts, the FIREFLY CD release, the SERENITY comic books (ok,ok..graphic novels. sheesh ), and more Cons, and finally to the BDM release itself! Oh yeah, and the BD-DVD and CD to the BDM.

*whew*

Anyway, 'nuff of that. Welcome!

These threads are my absolute favorite! I love hearing from new recruits - It wasn't too long ago that I was one myself. The obsession justs get stronger, my friend. Welcome aboard.

On a slightly related note, I was at Hollywood video last friday, and saw a guy picking up a bunch of movies for the weekend, looking kinda confused as to what he wanted. My toddler picked that moment to run over by him, so in passing I told him about how great Serenity was. When I was leaving, I saw him at the register...with the last copy of Serenity! Sigh...a new convert in the making. Feels so good.
