Oh, we have 'em. In fact, on at least a few occasions, I've BEEN them! :)

p.s., LOVED 2010...just introduced friend to 2001; haven't seen it in 30 years!)
I don't know if I *LOVED* 2010 - it had its issues - but I found it certainly helped clarify a few things. Think of it as 2001 For Dummies. I think I must see 2001 at least every few years. It changes; watch it at 20, then watch it at 40, and see if you see it the same. I was lucky enough to see it in the theatre when it was new and I was much, much younger. It made an impact, to say the least.
I was just digging through some boxes of old stuff in the garage, and found my 2001: A Space Odyssey ("In CINERAMA!") poster still rolled up and tucked away. Might have to matte and frame that one...

Only with self-proclaimed "geniuses" like you, Kingelbert...

Always glad to see a couple of newbies, especially one experienced somewhere else. Welcome to the party. Got Wife Soup and Fresh Bao over here.
Looks like everybody's beaten me to the punch: look out in RWED, but if you can take it, it's fun too.

I can take it, up to a point. But I've been in three or four threads there already, and it's SUCH a joy! Honest debate with INTELLIGENT people...I'm in heaven! Admittedly so far because not only are the posts intelligent, but there seems to be somewhat of a left leaning...ahem.
But I have questions...I'll wander around, pracitce and get my shit together, but a couple of things would help speed it up:
How does one go back to replies to one's topics?
How does one get bak out of a particular thread back to that forum?
Is there a way of being notified of new posts in a particular thread?
Much appreciated. Between the lovely welcomes, the appreciated words of warning, the intelligent posts (hey, I don't care if you're right or left, actually, as long as you MAKE SENSE!), the ability to use my beloved emoticons, and the fact that this forum is still ALIVE (which many Firefly forums, in my wandering around, aren't)...I'm starting to feel at home already. SHINY!!

"2001: A Space Odyssey ("In CINERAMA!") poster still rolled up and tucked away" -- ooo, lucky you!
No, to me 2010 is plain old fun sci fi...2001 is a completely different matter. "Loved" as in "enjoyed", actually, not "appreciated" and "thought provoking" as 2001.

I know, isn't it fantastic? We'll have to wander around and find our way together, along with our "compatriot", eh? Shiny, shiny, shiny!

That TOO? Oooo, I've truly gone to Firefly Heaven...I don't mind people misspelling, and at my age typos are frequent, but a total lack of grasp of English floors me.

Hi there you two!
You've received plenty of warning about the RWED, so don't think I need to say anything more than even if you do see a really heated nasty fight, a lot of those people are friends on other parts of the board despite hanging out on the opposite ends of the political pool.
We do have a few very strongly right-leaning folks out there, but they're honest and genuine and thoughtful in their beliefs. Everyone is, actually, don't mean to imply our liberals aren't or that in other places there's no such thing as honest right-wing folk. (I'm neither, for the record, if you end up talking to me you'll see a lot of 'on the other hand's. But don't mistake that for me not having a position. You'll see. :) )
You will see maybe some hints of prejudice and bias that may alarm you, even some strange behaviour. Heck, I readily admit I'm a kook, and biased towards the scientific sides of an issue. But we also respect people's right to speak, so we also don't really believe in banning anyone. If you see someone who just really offends you and you can't understand why we allow them to hang around, the best course of action I can suggest is to ignore them.
So, on other topics... If you guys are really into Firefly and the Whedonverse (and you're here, so I'm assuming you are), I thought I might point out our fanfiction, images, and fanart area, the Blue Sun Room.
