I was just introduced to Firefly last week. At 1st, I just "dvr'd" some episodes, but got out of order so I borrowed the DVDs. Being a Star Trek fan from way back, it has been hard for me to watch Sci-Fi shows on TV, not sure why..I guess I figured they could not measure-up. All I can say is, I am very sorry that I never watched Firefly before now. It grabbed me right away, as I zoomed thru the DVD series, and watched the movie this weekend. I am speechless, what a fantastic show! Planning to buy all the Blu-rays as they come out!

Sorry to be late....

Trying to get my Dad to watch it now, he is not a big Sci-Fi fan, but loves Westerns! This is the 1st web discussion/forum etc. that I have ever done. The show has inspired me!

There's a lot to discuss.
Like, did you think Serenity was a good follow-up to Firefly?

You're not late, merely "timeline challenged".

You started off recruiting new fans right away. I'd say you're ahead of the game.

It's really good to have you with us Late Bloomer. I too never got to watch an episode of Firefly while it ran live, and only picked it up one day while shopping at Borders and I saw they had the box set for dirt cheap and while I never heard anything about it it looked interesting enough to risk at that price. Was I excited at that find? I own Serenity but just bought the collectors edition Yesterday from Amazon.

Welcome aboard there LATERBLOOMER.
I really enjoy seeing post like yours. They get the FFF forums all excited again. Glad that you found the Joss verse and I’m also glad that you “GOT” the show. Some people see the show and think it’s good, but it’s not merely good, it’s fantastic. There’s plenty things going on around the forum so dig in. Hope you win your dad over and get him to watch it too. May make a si/fi fan outta him yet (lol)

Anyway, glad you made it to the forums, Z

Yes, I thought it was awesome! It tied things together really nicely! River was the only part of the "series" that I did not totally "get" until the movie tied her in. What a bada-- fighter. Now I see why Summer was cast in the Terminator TV series, which she also did a great job in...actually seemed like a similar character in some ways!! I Hope Terminator returns next season... Anyway...I have already tried to convince at least 2-3 people to watch Firefly. Gorram Good show!

Welcome! I'm happy you found Firefly/Serenity, because it is awesome....

And I understand that Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles have been picked up for next year so we'll be seeing a lot more of Summer Glau!
