I have been trying to convert the people at my college with little success (they are too busy to watch the show). But a couple of weeks ago I loaned my DVD's to a friend from out of college. I went to his place today to get them back and asked if he had finished them and he said yes, several times and that he really liked the show. So I have my first confirmed convert. GO ME.

Woohoo! Nice Job! For every 15 people you convert you get a free toaster oven and a raffle ticket for a chance to win an all expenses paid trip to Ariel!

*not really, but that would be pretty cool*

Keep up the good work!

Congrats! I just got mine recently, too! Anyone have an estimate of the projected exponential increase in converts (if we all convert two, and they all convert two . . .) how long before we take over the world?

I too am having a hard time getting ppl to stop smell the roses and watch Firefly the series. I've been after my sons(18&21)to sit and watch it but they say they are always to busy. If they would just see the pilot eps I think I'd have 'em.

I'm thinking of putting a fake label on the dvd. "Space Girls Gone Wild" or something.
Yep that might work.

I've converted two friend's and one of them was a full on trekki, don't know how i did it just lent the DVD's, scratch that Joss did it with the brilliance of Firefly and it sells it's self.

Unfortunatly the rest of my friends ar'nt so much into sci-fi and refuse to watch it ... time for new / more friends.

What you mean the wounderful feeling of a canceled show and the uphill battle to get a new one?

No, Mercury, the love of the 'verse.

I know that being in an uphill battle is hard and some days I get sad about this too. But I'm always grateful to have Firefly/Serenity and the hope that I have for a sequel or the return of the show.

I also have this community and the larger Browncoat community all around the world I am a part of. I love being a Browncoat, I'm proud of us and our uphill fight.

It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

It's bittersweet yes, but I'm happy being here on this ship!

Yay! good man. I have converted 2 of my friends. However I do try in work. My email signature says 'Sean etc, IT structure, etc' and at the bottom it has 'Can't stop the signal'. LOL. My manager questioned this. I told him its from 'Serenity'. He was really nice about it but him questioning was his way of saying 'remove it', I wouldn't take the piss because he's a really nice guy. Hopefully he'll watch Serenity. He said he's never heard of Serenity. I told him best sci/fi movie of 2005. SO he should watch it. My teamates also all looked at me with a quizzacal face :( (all hardcore downloaders). I just confirmed 'Seriously! not just the best sci/fi movie but 1 of the best movies of 2005). GIve me a couple of weeks and it'll be part of my sig again. 'Can't stop the signal'

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

Congratulations! Only 999 more converts to go!

Great work! Keep it up. Keep converting. Keep flyin'!
