Teh Registry for Fans from when the show was still on!

Oh Oh! Me too. (Plus my husband)

I still remember watching "Train Job" for the first time and taping it so my husband could watch. (He was in the den trying to get some work done.) I went right in to him after the show and drug him out to the living room and started the tape.

And I've been a member here since April 12, 2003.

PsychicRiver:

Devoted fanatic since the first five minutes of The Train Job, seen at work, based on trailer seen during football game on F*x. Originally thought: 'Cowboys in space? Yeah, but it's sci-fi on TV, so I'll give it a try'. Afterwards, I was impressed at how natural it seemed to have low-tech civilizations on newly terraformed bodies. Used to watch Firefly, then switch over to SciFi for Farscape. Science Fiction Fridays! I was in heaven...

Regularly posted on alt.tv.firefly, first in January '03, because of disbelief over Firefly's cancellation (I thought 'hiatus' meant hiatus, like the slow child I am). I remember how psyched I was when F*x showed the fantastic 2-hour episode of Firefly in mid December '02! Wow, they were really going whole hog for this great series! When Firefly didn't show up the next week, or the week after that, I figured it was similar to how Farscape used to show new eps for 8 weeks, then rerun them, then show new eps, then rerun. I had no idea for the first month that it was gone forever.

Moved here in April '04 because a poster on a.t.f. referenced this site. Made FFFn my home because it was easier to navigate and write on (for me) than the OB, which also left something to be desired in terms of topics...

The NOB, which I tried contributing to, suffers from the same problems as the OB, IMO: it's more like a chat room, than a discussion board. Haken gives us a couple of options in terms of interface here at FFFn; I use the default one, with messages from the General Discussions board listed in order of latest activity. This is my start page when I launch Firefox. I like the way that all the responses to a thread are shown on a single page; one need only scroll or use CTRL+F to find a person's response on that topic. At the OB & NOB, the default interface forces you to 'page over' too much.

I still occasionally lurk at the NOB: I really dug their recent thread featuring female Browncoats' cleavage shots. As much as I like cleavage, it's still not enough to make me give this place up...


Chronologically,

zoid

Fan since day one of airing. I had no idea they were being shown out of order, I just liked it. I used to tape Firefly and John Doe. Firefly is the only show I've ever....obsessed about. It's the only thing I've ever obsessed about. I'd pay good money to have it back on the air, as if no time had passed.

Ditto. Well, with the exception of obsessing over you, wild thing. You also wrote:

Oh, to live in that 'actual future'. What did I ever do so karmically wrong to wind up with my consciousness shunted down this branch of reality, with no Firefly in it?


Obscurely,

I'm included in this bunch, PsychicRiver. I watched, or taped and then watched, every episode as it aired (except for Ariel - forgot to set the timer that night). I was extatic when I heard the DVDs were coming out. I bought them, watched them all in 2 sittings, then went on the web and found this place, and I've been darkening Haken's doorway almost daily ever since.

Me, too; I watched the network broadcasts, and ended up taping as many as I could for my aunt and uncle.

I was writing a big long response...
about how when basketball would pre-empt the show I would call the local station
to be sure they would run 'Firefly' after the game
(they were always very nice about it)

I was a big Whedon fan before so it was easy for me to recognize the greatness of Firefly right away....
