Hey all,

I had seen maybe part of one episode of FF before Serenity came out. I bought the DVD on the advice of a colleague at work. Then the Sci-Fi channel played most of the episodes back-to-back one Friday when I was off and I was hooked (I bought the box set immediately after that)!

I thought the show was so good that I couldn't believe some idiot executives at FOX didn't even give it a fair shake before yanking it. I wanted to find other fans and see what we could do about getting the show back on the air. I firmly believe that if there is to be a sequel to Serenity, there must be more TV shows first in order to get a broader audience.

I am a satellite network hub technician in North Las Vegas, Nevada (no I don't gamble much). I spend my days surrounded by technology. I love Newcastle Brown Ale, I spent 6 years in the U.S. Navy, and I have to leave for work now, or I might be late...

Welcome tanst’

There have been and are many threads about Firefly's resurrection. Everything from how to get it back, why the execs suck, and what some possible avenues could be for new series/movies….

Bottomline… Become a salesman… I and many others just push the DVDs (both) on our friends, family, and co-workers.

Nice to see a fellow geek… I am a Software Dev. In NC.

And my fiancé is in Vegas right now (watch it watch it)

U gonna be smart here riva?!?

Welcome to the verse.

As it was stated. You have to become a salesman. Push these movies on your friends and family. Some will love others wont. Dont get discouraged. Just keep working it. It'g a good fight you have chosen.

Film Execs only understand dollars. The more we get people to buy the more money made and the more likely they are to get more.

I to am ex Navy and huge New Castle fan and a tech geek.

Cheers!

New browncoat here (well, been one for a month - that may make me a veteran considering the rate at which the new recruits are coming in) and I have to comment on how much substance the mere 15 hours of FF contain. A lot of shows need one or two full seasons to get up on their feet but Firefly knew what it was right from the beginning. It tells there was a vision behind it.

And it's really inspiring to see how fast our numbers grow from day to day. There may be happy days ahead if it keeps up.

Hay everyone,
As you can guess I'm also new. But I'm talking very new. Actually last friday was the first time I ever saw the show. Then on sunday I rented the movie. On monday I was looking for all the music tabs I could find, then trying to learn how to play the theme. Last night I baught it the series and movie at amazon. What is happening to me. I know about Joss b'caus I use to watch old Buffy and Angel episodes. Pluse I have both vols. of Astonishing X-men. But back to the reason where all here. I dont know much about the show yet since I only saw the last four episodes on scifi. Cant wait till my dvd's get here.

I've recruited at least 4 others to get hooked! Now we all want more! I guess we'll just have to wait and see. In the mean time, I guess we'll just keep watching the DVDs over and over, until they just don't work anymore.

Yet another new guy...
