Conversion to Firefly
Saturday, November 19, 2005

Howd i get into the show? Went to a movie with a few friends, and saw an add for Serenity. I thought it looked cool, ive got a thing for movies and shows with kick ass female characters, there arent enough of them out there. It looked very interesting too.

One of my friends who was sitting next to me however, started going crazy. I asked him what was up, hes like "Its Firefly!" I had no clue what he was talking about, so i looked questioning, he said it was an awsome cancelled TV show, then the movie started, so i shrugged, and figured id ask him about it later. I actually remembered seeing the show box set in Barnes and Noble while looking for something else, and reading the back, but not giving it too much thought.

Well, this was the beginning of the summer, nearer to the end, he lent me the first disc. I was hooked, though i got a little confused in the beginning, after, i was totally hooked. The characters were amazing, and the plot was great, it was serious, but funny. Well, he lent me the rest of the discs and me and a friend watched them while we were on a trip. By the time we were done, she was a fan too.

We counted down, then went and saw the show on opening night, 10:15 showing on Friday. Well, we got out after midnight, and by the next night, me and my friend who had converted me were back for a second showing...and he spent the whole time quoting, I threw a few back. I think the people infront of us pegged us as absolute geeks, and hated us. Oh well, it was just as good the second time. Now, though its out of mainstream, weve been searching for somewhere to see it again. I got a call on wednsday from my friend, and he was going crazy. He'd found a small theater that was, for two days, Serenity. Well, needless to say, weve already got tickets, and are ready to see it a third time.

And imensely looking forward to the DVD release.

Welcome! I highly recommend rewatching 'Firefly' with the commentaries...
and there are other goodies you may have missed:
watch the R. Tam Session vids:http://www.hittarivertam.nu/

and buy the 'Serenity' comics published by Dark Horse,
and have you joined the Browncoats yet?

and I highly recommend Joss Whedon's 'Serenity: The Official Visual Companion' which has more in the scrip than made it to the screen (so it is a VERY fun read)
besides it has story boards, drawings by the costume and set designers, and lots of production memos which are must reads (really reveal everything Joss wants in this film, and how patiently he feels about it all).
enjoy!
