Hey BogMonkey, Welcome!

What my fellow Browncoats forgot to tell you is that your bunk is in the guest quarters. Book will get ya' settled, of course he's bound to preach on a bit.

My story is similar to that of EC Gordon:

"I watched Firefly from the beginning on FOX, loved it and cursed much worse than gorram or ruttin' when it was canceled. I am a long time science fiction fan, of books as well as movies and tv. I'm 59 and I grew up on Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Star Trek and so many more. Until Firefly came along.........."

Of course, I read sci-fi books more when I was a kid about 100 years ago, but I'm a total sci-fi geek. If it's up in the black and on film, I've probably seen it - even the bad ones.

With me, what got me hooked, was seeing the promo for the show on Fox (he curses muttering under his breath). Picture this: Serenity flying in low over a herd of wild mustangs. That image, more than anything else, just absolutely floored me. I am sucker for that type of sh#t. When I watched the show back in 2002; what kept me hooked was River. I felt that she was the central character even at the very beginning. And I actually felt that she would eventually reveal her superpowers.

I wasn't far off. The best show ever, sci-fi or otherwise, PERIOD.

Enjoy the ride!

Part 2

As an aside, BogMonkey, there is a thread lurking about that asks folk to tell us how they chose their user/screennames.

Curious minds want to know. Why BogMonkey?
