I actually found this site because I was looking around for information on "Serenity" and stumbled across the site (it's going to seem overly convenient when you read my sig, but it's the truth). I love the show, and I'm ambivalent about the fact that I never saw it on TV - I didn't get the chance to support it as a fan, but I got to watch the entire series as Joss envisioned it.

I've been looking at the statistics for the I-CON website - Jewel has drawn a lot of attention in the time since we got her information up on her site(sometime yesterday morning), as a fan of the show I'd love to see more attention go that way. One of the reasons the convention staff thought that Jewel would be a good guest is because of you - the fans - and all the support you've given since day 1. I'd personally like to see more Firefly/Serenity guests in the future, but that would require support from the fandom in coming to the convention and proving to the coordinators that you have a strong voice and want to see this sort of thing happen (Won't take much convincing for me, but I'm not in charge of these kinds of decisions).

I invite everyone here to visit the website, take a look around and, hopefully, come down to the convention and see what it has to offer. If people on these boards, or the coordinators of fireflyfans.net, would like to come down to the con and have some sort of place to meet, I'm sure we could arrange a "fan-meet" of sorts. If you're interested, talk it out amongst yourselves and then drop me an email and let me know that it's something you want to pursue. If Jewel would be willing to attend that meeting, I'm sure it would make it all the more wonderful, but that's a decision I would never think to make on her behalf, and I have no idea how busy she will be over the course of the weekend.

I want to thank you all for your dedication to the show, and to Science Fiction. It's fans like you that enable I-CON to do what it does.

The actors are wonderful, though a couple of characters can be annoying, especcially at first (couldn't Jewel Staite have occasionally stopped smiling idiotically during the early episodes?).

Wow, I don't think he got Jewel's character at all - I thought it was all about her being light and Ms Sunshine, not a smiling idiot. The person who almost on her own had to balance out the darkness that the other characters put forward. I always thought if anything she was the most under-rated character on the show for her ability to keep the humanity flowing in the show. More so than any other character you felt what she felt when she felt it. She was ultra-real in that sence and unlike other characters throughout TV and movie history who are as smart as she was in keeping that ship running, most other characters in the past always had a chip on their shoulder or a jadedness to their character, as if you couldn't be happy at doing your job even in less than hospitable conditions. She still saw the best in people and that is a rare trait in any character and an event rarer trait when you can find someone who could pull that off as believiblely as Jewel did. Are we that jaded as a society that when we see a character as happy and innocent as Kaylee in such a dark story that we automatically sneer at the character and dismiss it as stupid, other than perhaps realizing that she is the embodiment of the innoncence lost by the other characters, and I think Jewel did a brilliant job of pulling it off and keeping Kaylee real and human and perhaps reminding some of us what we may have forsaken, that's the harder job is to be happy in an unhappy situtation cause you are at least still there. Just my 2 cents I guess.
