Welcome to the club, Jeff. Yes, I too am a HUGE sci-fi fan, and until last year, I had never heard of Firefly before. It's like a hidden treasure, and until you discover it, you don't know what you're missing.
Unfortunately, while anyone who I get to sit down and watch it ends up liking it, I've never had ANYONE become obsessed with seeing this "verse" continue like myself. That's why I'm on this message board, along with others because there are great fans on here that have the passion for the show, and want to promote it in the chance that we really can make a difference and make it continue!
stay shiny!

My wife. Hmmm.... My wife never sits down long enough to REALLY get into a show... become attached to a show. However, I feel that if I can hogtie her long enough to watch 3 or 4 episodes, she will have a better understanding of my obsession. She has seen parts of the pilot episode. She knows some of the characters by name. But that is about the extent of it right now. I have two sons, 10 and 15, who like it and watch it with me. I do have to be careful of the 10 year old and some of the content, but he knows when to plug his ears and/or hide his eyes.
I notice you guys using some of my favorite lines from the show. There are so many gems in the dialog... simple lines that stir the emotions. It is one of the most well-written shows ever made.

Well I agree ya wonder how a show like this was cancelled. My theory it was a year after 9/11 and adults were not concerned with an escape on tv. I know I wasn't. My attention was to the war on terror. What I remember of FF at that time probably another Andromeda series and I didn't care or have the time. I got into it when it came on the SciFi Channel in 2004. My life was thrown in chaos for awhile because of 9/11. With FF time slots being thrown around too I can see why it just didn't catch on fire. But this show makes sense of life in the future. The little guy in space. Star Trek is so lame now to watch except STos is still good.

I understand. My wife has watched the entire series and BDM too. She's a fan. Just not the kinda fan that I am. The reason for my above post to J.
I have 2 sons also. Both in their early 20s. They have watched some of the show and liked it. But for now they are more into dates, cars and paintball.
SHINY to have you here and for one thing(after 25 years of marriage too) to have your wife sit and watch the show because she wants to is good. But to push something that we like so well onto another person isn't. I know that you know that as well. Getting her to watch a couple eps or three I think will work and if she enjoys it as much as my wife,well "I think we can call that a win."

PS: the little quotes at the bottom just come off the top of peoples head at the time. They're fun and lots of times put a smile on another browncoat face for the day. Mine too.

Yes! That was my feeling when I heard of a new show, Firefly. I guess Andromeda wasn't out very long at the time, and I felt is was going to be another in that same genre. I didn't care for Andromeda myself, and so was not interested in trying Firefly. I could not have been more wrong in my assumption. And yes, the shock of 9/11 was still with us and affected me the same way. I wasn't ready for anything new.

Welcome Jeff! I, too am a relatively new (8/06) FFfan; it's amazing, isn't it...with the crap on television today that this absolute precious jewel was crushed under the bootheel.. ah well, we've all been where you are now.. it doesn't get better, ever; keep visiting here; you might want to sign up over at the SciFi forum and beg & plead for that channel to bring back Firefly... Join up with the 76th Independent Battalion; we're marching in next year's Dragon*Con parade in Atlanta (that'll be a major first for me)... I am so proud of the browncoats and glad to have found this space; you will be too, I promise! Take care and again, welcome.
