I'm a complete newb here. I caught Serenity on cable for the first time a couple weeks ago and I just LOVED it. I just found out it was a movie created from a short lived TV series. Reading some of the comments on IMDb, I found it a mixed bag as the Firefly fans critiques with some loving it while others were less than impressed. In regards to some of the people posting negative comments, did the movie people, as is often the case - especially when going from book to movie form, veer so far left from what the TV series plot and characters had established that they'd get a bad taste in their mouths to not like this movie? I can't see any other reason because, as I got caught up in the story, I found myself truly entertained. Everything was so well done. The script and dialog were fantastic. The special effects weren't over done like so many movies these days. The Characters seemed so real it was kind of scary.

I'm not sure how I missed out on this short lived TV series, or how you long time fans heard about it in the first place, but I am green with envy to have not lived it with you. I'm rectifying the situation by buying the entire series to watch for myself, but I can't imagine it'll be quite the same.

Whether ya got here from the film, Serenity or not; you are welcome; lots to read here...lots of hope... I am envious of your 'first' viewing of the entire DVD series...you will be ASTOUNDED that anyone could have canceled this show...then the depression will set in...THEN you come back here and get busy in any way you can think of to work on bringing Firefly back. It's truly a singular idea..and community...and I welcome you to it!

Oh... Whiplash. I'm envious. I truly am.
I'd love to go back and watch the series again with new eyes.

Welcome to the 'Verse. You've come home. I hope you come to love it here as much as I have.

The series is amazing, simply put and you are in for a treat. Please come back when you've done watching it and let us know what you thought.
Also, let us know any ideas you have for getting Firefly relit. You'll like as not be on fire with the need to do something and we'll sure listen.

When I got my DVD's I proceeded to map out a plan to watch so many a night. Several days later, I sort of came to, having watched them all back to back with very little stopping and realized I'd just seen the best thing ever. And that I was in love. Then I came here, and I've never left.

I hand out virtual browncoats to folks who join us, a sort of welcome...

*hands Whiplash a browncoat from the storeroom*

There you are my friend.. have a seat at the galley table, someone is likely to put out a spread for you and we're glad you're here.

Hey Whiplash4ever,
Welcome from another fairly new to the "verse person. I watched the movie first without knowing about the series. I was, however, a big Buffy fan and Nathan played a pyshco-demon-loving preacher on that show. I was listening to Joss talk about Nathan and Firefly and immediately purchased the series. I don't know how many times I've watched it since then - many.

This is a great website - lots of interesting topics and posts. I think it's been a great connecting place for everyone who loves Firefly - new and old alike.

"I'm thinkin we'll rise again."

Of course not... it'll be better! I'm like you, saw the movie first and then bought the series. And the longtime fans can just sit there and envy us, because we saw the series, complete, in the right order, the first time!

Welcome home, Whiplash!!! You are #24893
to join our very shiny crew.
I join FM in wishing I could start the series
completely anew. I'd like to fall in love all
over again with the amber glow at the galley
table and the laughter echoing down toward the
engine room.
Your virtual browncoat looks great on you.
Please join us in a little snack of strawberries
(your choice of dip, or nekkid) washed down
with the best Mudder's Milk.
And do spread the Firefly love any chance you
get. We hate to see anybody getting left out.
::-)

Welcome to the site and to the ranks of the browncoats Whiplash4ever! Glad to have you with us.

We have had a lot of new fans come to the site that missed it when it aired on Fox in '02. Seems that their marketing campaign for the series was not all that great. Course we already knew that.

Spread the word! Tell everyone you know about the series and the movie. Buy the series dvds and more importantly buy Serenity on dvd! The more new fans we bring onboard, and the more Serenity dvds that sell, the better our odds of the story continuing in some form.

Take care & keep flyin'!

Welcome to fff.net, whiplash4ever.

This is a friendly site and you'll meet people here from all over the world who love Firefly. There are those who watched it as it aired on F*X, and those like yourself who saw the movie first. And, you'll meet "recruits" - those who learned of Firefly through their friendly neighorhood Browncoat.

Dig through this site, read the unaired script "Dead or Alive", watch the viral videos, look into our guerilla marketing campaigns, and enjoy the abundance of terrific fanfic you'll find in the Blue Sun Room.

We're glad you are here.

EDIT: Wow, whip. Your hair is long! And, I'm impressed you have Joe Satriani playing on your myspace.
