I see you've gotten all the help you'd ever need (and then some), so I'm just here to say, "Welcome to the 'verse! It's mighty shiny that you've made it here without ever seeing the show or movie, and I sure hope you like 'em! (If none of that made sense, watch more Firefly. 
)"

Firstly let me say thankyou to everyone for the warm welcome & the abundance of info related to my original question.

Okay, NotLogical, I gotta ask -- if you haven't seen any Firefly/Serenity at all, how did you find out about it and decide you had to see it? And how did you find *us*, for that matter?
Let me be (one of) the first to welcome you to your new home in the 'verse... whatever that is. We know you're gonna love it!
Well Don it goes like this,
I enjoy my sci-fi(as long as it's done well) so when Serenity the movie came out I researched it & found it was based on the Firefly series. At this point I thought to myself "self, your gonna have to check this out someday", I agreed with myself(a "rarer than you think" occurrence) & stored it away for future access.
Yesterday I installed the new "Amazon Unbox"(movie/TV show download client from Amazon) & was looking through the list of available shows. Sure enough "Firefly" episodes were on the list. This triggered a stored memory, Ah yes that's right, I want to check this out. I soon found myself on the "boxed set" purchase page reading customer reviews for Firefly. Among these reviews was one from one of your members, they refered to this site & that's how I ended up here.
To be honest I thought I'd find a ghost site because after all the series was cancelled in 2003, but much to my surprise it was very much alive. What could induce such commitment? such die-hard dedication? THAT'S IT! I have to experience this drug-like addiction(WARNING: Nonmedicinal drugs are bad for you!) for myself.
Sooo to cut a long story short(Dam! it's already a long story), I went out to my local video store & bought the boxed set. I watched the first 4 episodes then had to crash. Today I will continue my quest & soon I will be fully versed(notice what I did there) with all that is "Firefly".
Sorry about the dribble but I'm feeling pretty shiny at the moment & felt I had to relate my story in detail.

You're already talking like us! I'm giddy!
Yepper, it is drug-like. Without any side effects! Hooray!
This is a great story. Look at that! Someone just found us through a review, and found us alive and kicking! Does anyone else think this is the shiniest thing ever?
