I noticed the recent influx, seeing as i came in with the rest of them. The Serenity DVD is definately what roped me in. I never even heard of firefly until i seen that movie, since i don't watch tv (dvd's are an exception)

Iv got the guys at Empire Mag to thank for my introduction to the 'verse. Middle of lat year i read in the pipeline article (the part of the mag were future projects in pre production are mentioned) had summit about the A team in space on it. I thought "oh cool" (i didn't even know about FIrefly) and read on.
November came and everything had became much clearer and more awsome, cowboys, space battles, cannibles, psiycic worrior girls, a cool black guy who kills people wiv a sword and the ultimate compute geek wth his own private planet. The BDM had finally arrived. Me and my dad went to see it and it was phenominal. Ive been a fan of starwars scince foreever ( i was dressed up at the first showing of ep 2 in my hometown, Redaing) but this was summit else, summit so much cooler, funnier, and generally more belivable. It let me connect with sci fi on a personal level like i never have before. Needless to say i fought the BDM was better than starwars Ep 3.
I then went through wot seems to be the classic cycle for a new browncoat, Elation at the firefly seires, and then depression at its sudden unjust end. Now I'm waiting for Serenity to come ot over here in the uk so i can buy it, and praying for some network to see how wonderful the 'verse is. Rock on people, Serenity will fly again!

Firefly/Serenity Noob here.
The only reason I even jumped on the wagon was due to the intriquing trailer for Serenity. Having heard of Firefly prior to the trailer but not actually seeing it peeked my curiousity as a movie was made based a canceled show.
After renting the series on Netflix, I instantly became a fan and big supporter. In fact, I was able to get a number of people interested in the show and movie as well!
I was disappointed to find that such a great show was canceled so abruptly. Here's to hoping for either a sequel or the reincarnation of the series!
