Evening all. Another newbie foisting themselves on you. At length, probably. (From East London, England.)

It almost (but as you can see, didn't...) goes without saying that I'm an huge fan. Slightly obsessed, and know more of the lines by heart than is probably strictly necessary.

I found Firefly completely cold. I can't remember where I'd heard if it, and had never read any reviews, but while on holiday in New England, I saw the DVDs in a Mall. Recognized the name vaguely, splashed out the $24 (it was a while ago) and lived happily ever after.

You probably don't need to hear that all the other near compulsory traits are present and correct:

I will bend anyone who doesn't move fast enough's ear and make them watch it (though I'll only forcibly lend them my UK set, not my 4 slimline cased Yankee discs) until they agree it's rather good.

I will wait in near incontinent expectation for the BDM;

I will find myself using slightly frontiersy idioms, if my attention slips, or I can legitimately sneak them into,well...anywhere, really;

I'll also BD everything.

I kid myself that I can give it up really. Self awareness (or better still, people backing cautiously towards the door) is very important, or you all end up lollygagging and whittlin' and looking all manner of ridiculous. (I know. Too late.)

Anyway, why did I register? Ah yes. Morena Baccarin. Is she not Vivien Leigh?

Morena Baccarin...is she not Vivien Leigh?

She reminds me more of Hedy Lamarr.

Sadistic crap legitimized by florid prose...tell me you're not a fan.

Pez, i hate to contradict you on a movie legend, but I'm afraid it is indeed Hedy. Short for Hedwig.

She was the most beautiful woman of film....or one of them. And there is a bit of Hedy in Morena's companion look. Hot!

Oh wait! You were being all Brooks-like weren't ya? I'm so dense sometimes!

I can soooo relate to your description. I would guess most of us here can, really. So, you should feel right at home here.

Welcome!

WHITEFALL

Welcome!

I think someone should start one of these newbie threads with "Hi, my name is , and i'm a Firefly fan" and wait for the first person who gets it to go HI !!!!! That'd be fun.

Everyone:*HIIII GIXXER*

I survived a day in Whitefall and all I got was this lousy signature!

Really, chaps, I'm surprised nobody's called me on the Harvey Korman gaffe yet! I thought you SF types were supposed to be quite pedantic...

Yours sincerely,

(only ever been to one convention* ever, and not quite got the hang of it yet)

*NEC. Mrs G's a BSG slasher and made me go. Downright unsettlin' experience, I can tell you. Gratifying to see that the second most mobbed bit was the Firefly Stand. Only beaten by Dirk Benedict, who was pretty damn cool, really. I did try telling him that I no longer feared being locked in a barn anymore, since they all contain a V-8 and enough scrap metal and welding gear to make a reasonable tank, but he ran off...
