I sent off my postcards and i've got a letter going out tomorrow. I'm being a good fan.

But I think i'm probably unique in why I got into Firefly. I was raised a sci-fi fan, yes.. and so I was interested in that, but what really got me was seeing Alan Tudyk on the commercials. I have been in love with his acting since I saw 28 days.. and I saw the previous and shouted "it's gerhardt"

and once I turned on the show.. I was hooked. It appealed to all that sci-fi freak stuff inside of me. and to the alan tudyk fan.. hehe

I was walking thru the livingroom while "Out of Gas" was on...

I'm a scifi fan, my favorite book was Downbelow Station. this was the best of that book plus B5 plus a little Star Wars thrown in.

MORE! I want MORE!

Joss Whedon has ruined me for other tv. As of now, I only watch three shows. Whenever a friend forces me to watch something else... it's just so shallow. There is no substance to it. I do not mull it over. And I am therefore bored. I watch Whedon because he challenges me as a person to examine the world and what it means to be human. I'm sorry, but Star Trek and Sitcoms don't do that.



Um, what he said. I'd seen Buffy before, but not enough to be a fan until the fourth season when it suddenly took over my television joined quickly by Angel and now Firefly. The only non-Joss show I really watch is 24 and that's just satisfying my childhood crush on Keifer. Why JW doesn't get the kind of respect David E.(girls club canceled after two eps)Kelley gets is beyond me.

I do like "The Practice" by David E. Kelly. However, you make me chose between "Girls Club" and "Firefly" and, NO CONTEST, I think Firefly is a much more original series and the characters are much more interesting. We have enough lawyer series on TV as it is. I was begging ANY of the networks for something a little different (now that the X-Files is over, there was nothing holding me in front of the TV). Lets hope FF lasts!!

Plus I was writing a story along similar lines, and I thought, "Hey! That's my idea! But BETTER!"


Hey! Thats me too!
I've always like all kinds of science fiction. Though I never liked westerns (Bonanza bugged me, Dallas bugged me, Little House on the Prairie bugs me now, and Clint Eastwood has always bugged the hell out of me in anything except Paint Your Wagon!) the little cowgirl inside me screamed a big "yee haw!" when she heard of the new 'space western' show. Its about damm time!


I wish I was a jellyfish because jellyfish dont pay rent.
