Hey, today is the day to get Bushwacked!

Well, maybe not for real... but it's the day to download the episode.

Bushwacked was the first episode of Firefly that I taped. I hadn't expected to fall so deeply in love with Firefly the week before, so I didn't have a tape setup for Train Job. Well, after that, you can bet I made sure to tape every single episode.

I remember that once I had Bushwacked taped, I used it right away to begin recruiting my friends with the, "You have GOT to see this show... it's, it's AMAZING."

Of course taping the episodes got even trickier after that, what with FOX pre-empting the show in those crucial beginning weeks, and then the extended hiatus. Oh wait, if I revisit all those memories I'm gonna get mad all over again...

So... fast forward... to now. Here we are with DVD sets, and you can even buy an episode and download it to your computer! Technology is moving right along and we're heading into a realm where viewing entertainment will no longer be at the mercy of idjit network bungling.

Let's show that we'll keep getting Firefly in all manner of ways that we can. The more active and supportive we are, the more we bolster the incentive for studios to give us more Firefly and Serenity!

Good mornin' 'Coats!

Another day, another ITunes download. Today it's Safe. The episode that gave birth to our Big Damn Heroes!

I was showing a customer at work ( cuz I'm downloading the eps at work) how easy it was to download from ITunes, she was saying how she was amazed how easy it was to do and to gift the eps.
Then of course began the conversation about why Firefly and why I was so passionate about it. So I gifted her the pilot. Let her see for herself why this show is so special. At $1.99 what have I got to lose but pocket change and I might gain a convert! I promise you.. she'll be in love like the rest of us. That is what is so cool about this ITunes Campaign...you might reach a person with very little invested and the show sells itself, soooo... new Browncoat.

I'm gonna be glad to have the eps ( on my new IPod!...yeah, I just keep saying that.. kinda like if I say it enough I'll just have to get one!)so that I can access them easily to remember quotes, during moments when I need something funny to see... to look at Mal. ( Oooops, I said that outloud.)

Anyway, isn't there someone you can think of you'd share this show with by gifting them a download?

They won't even play nicely for me (it's like watching one of those old film strips in grade school, minus the "DING") but I'm buying mine each day, hoping that the numbers will be impressive to someone in power out there.

By the way, any way to tell 'the numbers?' Is there a ranking system of iTunes downloads?

Thank you CarolJude for joining the cause.. even though they won't play well. They won't play on my home computer as well as they do on my work computer..I'm hoping on the ( new!) IPod they'll do better.

I don't know about rankings... Jtskier was gonna look into that. I was too. When we know something, we'll post it here.

I'd like to see it at the top of the downloads as The Most Downloaded TV Show!! Browncoats are entirely capable of that!

Is it Safe?

Why yes it is... it's Safe day!

I wish we could have gotten that audio commentary for Safe that Alan Tudyk kidded about (during the War Stories commentary)... with Summer and Sean... Alan making reference to that brother and sister who spend a lot of time together...

Anyway, another wonderful episode of Firefly... and as FollowMal pointed out, this is the show that establishes the classic 'Verse term "Big Damn Heroes".

This is also the episode that really lets you know that you can't judge a "Book" by his cover. Somethin' heavy duty in that guy's past...

And find out why smuggling black market beagles is a better plan than smuggling cattle...

Well, I bought Serenity on the first day, but Sat-Monday I wasn't at my work computer so I'm makin' up for it today. My IPod is updatin' in the background right now with "Train Job, Bushwacked, Shindig, and Safe". *whew!* Should be able to keep up until the weekend. Then Next Monday I'll hafta catch up again, three Episodes on one day. Not complainin' though, can't wait till all of it is on my IPod. Then I can bring it everywhere.

--------------
Wash: Closing in.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a might fast.
Wash: That's just 'cause I'm goin' down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: Well, if that happens, let me know.

It's sooo good to hear that other Browncoats are downloading the eps. I have been a fan ever since Firefly first aired. I was ecstatic when it came back last summer on the Sci-Fi Channel. Words can not describe how thrilled I was to have a movie premiere last September. I was there on the 1st day and went back with friends several times.

I do have 6 sets of the Firefly series. Five of the sets roam from friend to friend as I share the 'Verse, and one cherished copy that I keep at home. I have 4 copies of the movie. I have one copy for home, and I try to encourage friends to buy their own copy of Serenity. Although I do have those few copies to share for those that can't afford it right now.

Since I heard about Firefly Fortnight, I have been downloading the episodes for 4 friends, and I check the iTunes list of most downloaded shows. I am sooo hopeful that Firefly will show up in the top 100. It could soar to the top too if everyone would send 1 episode to a friend. My 3 favorite episodes are coming up: Our Mrs. Reynolds on Wednesday, Jaynestown on Thursday, and Out of Gas on Friday. Even if you haven't done the 1st episodes, send one of the next 3 to a friend.
