of course i am, notable mainly because literally every shirt i own but two (discludeing "dress shirts") are firefly/serenity shirts; not because i bought them, but rather because i took a paint brush to all my normal shirts.
yup.

I first watched Serenity and Firefly last week and I'm already a geek.

ok hmm well when we went on vacation to the lake I made my husband buy a hawaiian shirt that looked like Wash's and I once gave a student extra credit for singing the hero of Canton, plus I have figured out a way to work Firefly into my lesson plans...yeah I think I just may be a Firefly geek:)

Somehow "Geek" doesn't seem to fit the Firefly/Serenity fan base like it does with Trekkies. Even though it is of the Sci Fi genre, in a way it isn't. Browncoat implies a much hipper and realistic individual who understands real-world struggles. Instead of battling Klingons and other space villains, you have the guy you have to chase down that owes you money who would rather not pay you, and the constant struggles with trying to live free in a world (verse) that is evermore controlled by the Alliance (Feds).

The FF/S characters are just like many real people that I know. I can't say that so much about the characters from other shows. So, I guess in that sense it is hard for me to apply the term geek, because it is not so much of a reach to imagine myself in that world with those characters.

I love the show because it combines the two favorite characters that kids want to be when they play: Cowboys and Spacemen.

This is my first post. Glad to be a part.

First I want to welcome STCARDINAL to the fold.Plus any other new recruit that may be hanging back a little.

BROWNCOATBEAR thats a good train of thought that you have going and a good thread starter. I know the "Browncoat" title conveys devotion but it really doesn't speak of the geekiness or nerdiness of what is in all of us as being FF fans. I do agree "we browncoats" are maybe more interesting with a higher degree of sharpness than lets say other fans of other fandoms. But theres the question. What can we call ourselves other than browncoats. There are treks and trekees. What can we come up with that has something of a nerd/geek slant to it, yet with higher itellect?

Anyone have an answer?

Note: maybe the Fox suits should be know as Reaver-sities, for their backward thinking

You mean like the devoted fans are Browncoats and the more "casual" fans are 'coats?
