Hello fellow Browncoats....

I get the feeling I've been missing something rather important for the past few years...

Around 3 weeks ago I was looking for a particular DVD and 'found' Serenity purely by chance....things kind of changed after that.
Firefly had passed me by like a ship in the night when it was being aired on TV so when I came across the Serenity DVD I remembered someone telling me Firefly was brilliant and was indeed required viewing (duh..)

So I bought the DVD and watched it. Oh dear, this is the best written and acted Sci-Fi movie I've *ever* seen. Period. I'm including, in this statement, all the usual suspects such as The Matrix, ST, SW, etc, etc. Why...WHY had this passed me by? (something I'm still having trouble answering)

I then immediately purchased the Firefly series. If it weren’t so biologically impossible I would actually have Mr. Whedon's children.
Firefly gets it right in such a way it's beyond me why it was cancelled. Having read up on the turbulent history of this unbelievable piece of creative genius, it saddens me to see the dire rubbish that gets (constantly) commissioned to fill the 'verse with tired, contrived, badly acted and generally just plain awful trash.

In my (humble) opinion, a certain Mr. Lucas should bankroll (Ad infinitum) future series of Firefly until he is bankrupt as penance for SW Ep.1, Ep.2 and Ep.3. To have this entire 'verse consigned to history is such a shame. I could only compare this loss to the destruction (God forbid) of the Sistine Chapel as a loss of such genius!

There, rant over (for now). I have since bought the Serenity soundtrack and am hunting any other Firefly DVD's/CD's/Floppy disks/Stone tablets I can buy for the cause.

I'm even looking for a brown coat...it's that pervasive.

Long live the 'verse.

Welcome to the 'Verse, Blackadder...
FollowMal will be along shortly with your [virtual] Browncoat I'm sure.
Let me the be the first to extend the hospitality of the group to you & yours.
Lots a great stuff to read/see/hear & a friendlier bunch of ne're-do-wells you will never find.

Stay Shiny!

Welcome brother...you will find the company of soldiers on this board.

Keep fighting my beloved Browncoats...fight for your Captain!

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

Hi there Blackadder,

welcome aboard!

Wow, another new addition to the crew - this is so shiny!

I'm sure FollowMal or Kaele will be around soon with a 'coat for you, until then I'm sure there's berries and chow down in the galley. Make yourself at home and have fun here!

Does anyone have any idea what sales of Firefly and Serenity are like now? All these new members -we must surely be getting someone's attention by now!

- Shiny. Let's be bad guys.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die

DONCOAT

Welcome, Blackadder.

I sure hope you have a cunning plan that cannot fail -- for getting our Big Damn Heroes back.

On second thought, if your plans work as well as that other Blackadder's... never mind!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't disagree on any particular point.

I think we all have reason to be optimistic, after all, it's not like the 'verse is going to LOSE fans -- it can only grow...and grow...and grow. :D

I think the real problem, as it's been all along, is exposure. There are still so many potential viewers who just don't know about it!

Welcome Home!

Ok, so I know this isn't your real home but when I signed on it felt like I was comming home, So I welcome the new recruits that way. Since FollowMal and/or Kaele haven't arrived yet, tide yourself over with your choice of coffee, tea or Mudder's Milk while you wait for the shiny new 'coat to arrive!

JOSSIS(Most Definitely)AGOD

Hiya, Blackadder.
Great screen name.
HWL at this you wrote:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a wondrous 'Verse, and who knows what limitatons have been cast aside? We'll have to ask Dr. Tam.

In the mean time, come to the galley and interrogate the buffet. Fresh supplies are brought in daily, and we try (as you may see in other posts) to accommodate all tastes -- within reason, of course.

Try not to trip over the ShipsCat.

(I'm in favor of having Lucas fund further SereniFly)

(Don't miss SLiTHER while it's still in theaters!)

Thanks for all the friendly welcome messages...glad to be a part of it all. It does feel like a homecoming (you hit the nail on the head there Jossisagod).

Doncoat: lol! I am indeed the incarnation of Blackadder as a Browncoat so expect plenty of (mostly useless) plans to bring Firefly back.

I'm going to look for a comfy cushion as I'm going to be a-holding with the rest the Browncoats till Mal gets back....

There's no place I can be...since I found Serenity

If you are a collector I suggest the australian release (metallic case).

You can find it here:

I just ordered it in addition to my "normal" italian version.
Oh, you might need a region-free DVD player ;)
