Hi all,

Very very newbie here....saw the movie first, last weekend, and loved it so much. Now don't all laugh at once, but living in Australia, I didn't even KNOW that the series Firefly was connected to Serentiy. *please don't throw things at me...cos I bruise easily*

So at the end of the movie, in the theatre I said to hubby..."gee that would make a great series". I told my son when we got home and he howled with laughter.

When I realised that it was based on the tv series Firefly, I immediately hopped onto an online video store and ordered the DVD. I have watched the first seven episodes already...and am already totally and completely hooked.

I love all the characters...esp Mal...God he's so effing cute, I can hardly stand it. Reminds me of Brian in Queer as folk, if any of you watch that.

The episode, Jaynestown, had me rolling on the floor laughing so hard, that my dog started to panic.

I want to watch the whole rest of the series today, so that I can watch it all again next weekend, or whenever there's nothing worth watching on telly.

My brother was like that-he didn't know that the cast were the same!

Welcome!

I only got into the show this year too-after watching the movie-LOVED it!!

The series is awesome-unlike anything else. There's someone for everyone!

And yes,Mal is cute. But I have affections for a certain mercenary, a pilot and a doctor as well ;)

Enjoy your stay!

*My thoughts about Firefly boys = one-way ticket to the 'Special Hell'

Thanks for that last link, I hadn't seen that yet. Full of spoilers for the film, luckily I'd seen it 7 times, And it's been long enough I was able to laugh. Thanks.

Welcome Addie!
Universal Australia set up their own website:
http://www.serenitymovie.com.au/
you might want to check out...

also check out the things in my signiture;
specifically the River Tam Sessions
(guarenteed to blow your mind!)

edited to add:
when the Oz site was introduced Joss Whedon wrote this to the Aussie fans:
Quote:

Hello, fellow Australians! Yes, I say "fellow" because I was actually born in Australia! Not many people know that, because it's a total lie.

But I have been to Australia many times and no, again, just lying. Okay, everything I know about Australia is that Angie Hart is really cool and
that if you say "Shrimp on the Barbie" to an Australian they are legally allowed to strangle you.

Yet I feel a great kinship with all of you. Why? 'Cause we're BROWNCOATS, guys. We all fought together, we all suffered the same losses and the same triumphs. Although our websites may be far apart (um, is there such a thing as 'far' in cyberspace?) our hearts are close.

So welcome to the official Serenity Oz site. You're here, and that means you're family. We're all family, which means none of us can legally marry.

Weird.

Have a good time here, then have a good time at Serenity (the film) and then have a good time at Serenity (again), then rest.

You've earned it.

Yours truly, Joss.

I remember on the DVD someone said that they hope that there is a feature film, that it's sucessful enough for someone to go to Joss and say "you know, this would make a great television series" lol.
