Hey everyone. Hope I'm posting this in the right place, but I just wanted to say hi and say I'm sorry I did not discover this show before last monday. I'm a huge sci-fi fan and have heard about the how through the Farscape board I usually visit. I finally gave it a shot and was blown away. It's too bad that the show got yanked (Which is why I didn't get a chance to see it.) Now I can't wait for the movie. To bad it won't be out till sept. Glad to be a part of the board and can't wait to talk to all of you. :)

Howdy, welcome aboard!

Where are you from? There are Browncoats spread across the planet.

I myself am a Yank in the UK, I never saw the show on the box either (it was only on the sci-fi channel here), my sister told me about the dvds.

Get on over to the Serenity Movie site, www.serenitymovie.com and sign up for the Browncoats.

I've seen the preview of the movie and it ROCKS.

Stay shiny!

I'm not really new, but I tend to read and not post (I usually don't feel like I have anything useful to say). ANyway, I do need some help on something so here should be good.

I keep trying to change my alias but it never works? What's the dilly-o?

Hi, Carla

Click on "Home" on the menu for the web page itself (NOT "Home" on your web browser), then "My Firefly".

On the left column is a link for "Edit Profile".

Go into this and you can change your alias.

Stay Shiny!

Yeah, I do that, and then it just doesn't change! Is there a way to delete my profile and re-register.

Thanx anyway

Hey JoeQ.

Welcome. It's fun around here. People are great and the conversations are very engaging. Not long here myself, so hello.

You probably tapped into the best forum - given that it's about the best show - it makes sense I guess.

hi, i don't type very much on the forums, but i do tend to wander around reading what people say.
CHeck out the Caption Tightpants threads, they are classic, and gd fun, even if ure poor at it.

Wondering how much u'd seen, u sed u'd discovered it, am i to take u've watched the whole series.

I myself am British and as it was never properly aired over here apart from on SCI FI, which i don't have, i bought the DVD and watched it in about a week (that sounds like a long time, but i was supposed to be revising for my AS Levels(important 17 year old exams)at the time)

Watching it off the DVD's, i feel is a great way t do it, because u get the whole series as Joss wanted it, and thats gotta be better than how the Meat Heads at Fox, dealt with it.

i vote dropping the term "it's been axed" in favour of the more appropriate every day term
"it's been Foxed up"

Ah'm new too.

Firefly is playing now in New Zealand, pretty much as Joss intended. We got Serenity up front where it belongs and we're getting the episodes that weren't screened in the US. Only two to go though.

Guess I'll have to save my pennies for the DVDs so I can watch 'em all again - including ep.2 which I missed first time around.

Ain't much of joiner when it comes to web boards, but for Firefly I'm making an exception.

Stay free, keep flying.

PS: Ain't hardly scientific, but I found another way to show your support for the BDH's. Go to http://www.topdogcity.com/firefly5.htm and add a brick. (I'd use a disposable address.)

Shiniest gorramn show in the 'verse!

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

Welcome aboard JoeQPublic! Glad to have you w/ us. It's always a pleasure to greet new fans to the site.

We all enjoy reading how everyone came to discover the show. It is amazing how much the fanbase has grown since the DVD set came out. I am still amazed at how far we have come since we first heard Fox was cancelling the show. Now we have the DVD set, the movie coming out, and trading cards and action figures as well as novels set for release in late summer and early fall this year.

Not to go all sentimental an mushy, but I am really happy to be part of this fanbase and connected if only in some small way to Firefly/Serenity.

Glad to see another fan join up.

This just makes me realize how this show could have survived if Fox had gotten the word out properly. I really think that the marketing departments should work on internet advertising. Not on msn or anything. They should go out and find communities with similar fanbases (i.e. farscape) and advertise to them. Maybe that's too much to ask though.

i DO aim to misbehave

JoeQPublic, CarlaTam, IntheBlack and CapnEric because I think I may have missed your debut.

Welcome!

I was just discussing with lochravin this morning about the diversity of the Firefly fan base. For those of you living out of the country, I’m in the US - Minnesota to be exact. And now I’m talking to someone in Korea (lochravin) New Zealand and the UK. I wonder if that was what Joss intended or if it’s a happy side effect.

And what BC said about the fan base isn’t just mush. It’s the pure, honest truth.

Fans come and fans go...but zealots are with you until the bitter black end.
