I thought I would raise the average age of the forum a bit (late 50's) so hello to you all out there.

I have arrived here by way of the Serenity DVD first as a birthday present (thanks to youngest daughter) and then the Firefly DVDs.

I spent last night converting my eldest daughter to the cause through a marathon Firefly viewing session that finished at 4 in the morning. I cannot think of any other TV series that would even come close to inspiring us to do that.

So it is TV genius as far as I am concerned. The storylines are great and the casting is excellent. It has made me laugh, cry (Summer Glau has anyway - she is is just about perfect as River imho) and become totally absorbed in the alternative reality. I can't really ask any more than that.

Hello DBrief and Welcome!!!

I see my gorgeous Mei Mei has beaten me to it already!! YOu will find that you have family here - just as I discovered it when I arrived a few months ago... also after a marathon - I just wanted the story to go on and on... the way I have found new friends and had my intellect and imagination stimulated has made this my online home!!

So - welcome home!! Pop into the threads and share your insight and experiences... There are plenty of mature folk about - you'd be surprised!! One of my best friends here is also in her late 50s and is planning to visit me in Australia this year!!

This is the shiniest place in the 'verse and you are among friends!!

Yes you can, DeBerriff! You can ask for more.. we do it all the time.

Welcome to our shiny site.. we're very glad you're here and you're living proof that sharing the DVD's with folks works! Your story is like many of our stories.. saw, fell in love, came here and found a home. That's truth for me, and I hope it will be for you as well. For you're a Browncoat now... part of something bigger and it's a wonderful feeling.

I am the supply clerk here and I give new folks their very own virtual browncoat.. a sort of symbol of your belonging.. most folks like it, I hope you will too.

*hands DeBerriff a browncoat from the storeroom*

Join in often, there will likely be folks along to offer you strawberries and iceplanets.. the chocolate ones are great! Make yourself to home, because that is what you've found.

Oh and by the way.. I'm in my early 50's.. we come in all ages and from all different places and it's fun! So I know you'll enjoy yourself.

Welcome to our obsession!! Age don't matter... ever. We all share our love of the best TV show EVER in a variety of ways; voting at richlabonte.net/tvvote every hour...
It's amazing to me, with all the tripe currently on television, that no one has seen fit to re-light the Firefly! We have hope laced with pessimism...(a fellow fan on another thread called it 'hopism'...or pessope....) It seems that more people are learning about the Firefly Phenom everyday...so we can only have hopism that someday, some smart cookie will...well, you know the rest. Join up over at SciFi forums and beg...we've got our own threads over there as well...check in with whedonesque for any hopism.. have a couple of cups of coffee and settle in for a spell.
