UNCHARTEDOUTLAW


My students finished reviewing for their final exam early yesterday and I gave them a choice of things we could start watching instead of just letting them sit around and be idle.

Choices were:
Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
Firefly Disc 1
2001: A Space Odyssey

My 4th period chose Firefly. I was stoked! And while not all of them were watching it intently, one student pipes up part way through...

Student: "Mr. Nelson, this is a TV show?!

Me: "Yup! Sure was!"

Student: "Wow. They really paid a lot of attention to details and stuff!"

I was thrilled that someone genuinely felt that Firefly had more of a movie feel to it than a TV show. :) Just had to share my shiny moment.

Hook 'em while they're still young and impressionable!

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Excellent work UnchartedOutlaw! The more people we can expose to the series, the more Browncoat converts we bring into the ranks.

Keep up the great work!

Do I see a field trip the day Serenity comes out?

That would be cool! I will be 'sick' that afternoon. Well, I just have to take time off, I don't fake being sick. No, really.

Field Trip, I wish. Don't think I could pull that off...but I may play hooky the day it comes out. ;)

Newsflash! This just in! It seems that all across the country, people are getting a mysterious illness that prevents them from going to work and school! Wait, I'm just getting something new now... What's that? It's happening in Europe? All over the world? What can it be? Now back to you, Scott, in the studio. Scott? Scott, back to you now. Scott, can you hear me?

(Back in the studio, Scott is gone but he has left a mysterious sign on the desk that reads: "Once you've been to Serenity, you never leave. You just learn to live there.")

Now that sounds like a basis for a viral marketing campaign.

Anybody care to fill in the details, like a fully fleshed idea, strategy, and execution plan? ;)

Firefly IS the virus. There's only one cure: Seeing the BDM!

True, true.

But just THINK of all the publicity for the BDM if you had to go to court to defend your right to show Firefly in class occasionally!
