Just wanted to say hi! I've been a fan of firefly since the second episode they aired. (Only because I missed "Train Job", a fact I deeply regretted!) I put the DVD series on my Christmas list, and then on December 9th I took it back off and told everyone, "Forget Christmas. I can't wait that long!" It's been Firefly heaven ever since.

I don't know why I wasn't motivated to join this site before now, but I'm joining now. I'm actually very excited because I converted my brother. I've been trying to get him to sit down and watch it with me ever since I got the set. ("Just the pilot episode, pleeeeeeaaase . . .") He wasn't interested because . . . well . . . I'm his little sister, so how could I possible have good taste in . . . anything? (I'm 30. Do I ever get to stop being little sister?) Anyhoo, he finally sat down with me to watch the pilot episode. After it was over, he sat quietly for a sec, then turned to me with a grin and said, "Another episode?" It was 2 o'clock in the morning before we finally shut it off. He now only has 4 episodes left to watch, and he keeps saying, "I can't believe they took this off the air!" and "I can't believe I never heard of this before!" I'm very full of myself.

I'm afraid I threw him a little when I told him my favorite character was Badger. I don't even know why. I blame Mr. Sheppard.

Anyway, that's my story.

Hello.

Welcome to the board!

I too am trying to convert friends to watching the show. Before the show was cancelled, I got my SO to watch it with me and she got hooked too! I managed to get a couple friends to watch it, although only one of them actually watched every ep on the DVD set.

Keep flyin', fellow browncoat.

Welcome!!!
The one person I would have converted, it turns out it's her favorite show too. Pretty cool, aye?

Welcome! Although you haven't fully converted your brother until he starts calling you 'Mei-mei' ;)

Thanks for the welcome! I'm afraid I've been very picky about who I try to get to watch Firefly. I'm afraid I might have to end friendships if they hated Firefly. I too few friendships to afford losing any, so better not to risk it! LOL! I just had a feeling about my brother though!

I didn't know until tonight that mei-mei meant little sister. I thought it was just a generic term of endearment. I think I won't share that tidbit with my brother. OTOH, I have caught myself using Firefly terminology in my head. The day I use it out loud, however, I will worry.

No, the day you start looking in your rear view mirror to see if Reavers are chaing you or develop a phobia of Blue gloves and mittens, then you need to worry... but not until then.

Nice to see you and welcome to the 'Verse

Also... I can kill you with my brain...
