i must confess i was somewhat sceptical about firefly

a couple of friends of mine constantly praised it to the rafters, and generally this is a bad sign, because anything they both like is generally unspeakably awful (van helsing anyone)

the DVDs were forced on me and having nothing better to do i watched them........

i have just seen the LAST

episode, its 01.15 and im nearly in tears

in my opionion firefly was the best sci-fi show on TV, ever, by a goddamn country parsec

it has everything that is neccesary to be great drama: characters you care about, in a milieux that is intersting, that are in conflict, PLUS great special effects, fantastic music, gorgeous women, the ongoing river story, and a comic psycho killer called jayne

oh and for the record I LOVE KAYLEE!

LOL, good to see you finally cracked under pressure. Be sure to thank your friends, now :)

Keep the faith, spread the word, and hold the line. And if Mal takes too long getting back, or something happens: we take the ship and come rescue him :)

Know how you feel, I was a sceptic for the same gorram reason and I saw Serenity mostly because I was bored. Took about 5 minutes and then I was completly sold on the entire series

Greetings, Krasny, and welcome to our sector of the 'Verse. You're #20575 here, if my SereniFly-addled brain stored it correctly.
You're nowhere near through with all the shiny stuff available.
First, of course, is to find and watch Serenity, the Big Damn Movie. Then you'll just find more little bits, books, more...

If FollowMal catches up to you she'll issue your virtual browncoat so you'll blend in.

I'm on strawberry duty, and the whole gang pitches in, stocking the buffet for questioning. Lots of fruit, cookies, Mudder's Milk, etc. are laid out right now. (Avoid the red kiwis, however. They trickled in from one of the llama threads -- some kind of experiment.)

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Memorize the dialogue. Post your haiku, your limericks, your Burma Shave poetry, your musings and questions.

But most of all, spread the word!

Welcome, Krasny. You are among friends who know exactly how you are hurting, and share those feelings. Pull up a chair, grab a Mudders' Milk and set a spell.

Like Spider Robinson so rightly noted, "Shared pain is decreased, shared joy is increased"!

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

Van Helsing is a ruttin good movie! Visually stunning, epic musical score and you cant go wrong with Hugh Jackman.

FUTUREMRSFILLION

Welcome Krasny. It is never to late to join the fold. You are amongst your own kind now.

I am sure FollowMal will be along, she gets busy in the storeroom. There is always food somewhere and plenty to drink. There are discussions of all kinds and lots of silliness, I try to promote as much of that as possible!

Check out the BDM, its more Firefly crew to love.

And I have to agree with Calhoun, Van Helsing was pure guilty pleasure. Movies don;t always have to be the caliber of Firefly/Serenity to enjoy them!

Try your hand at a FireFly inspired limerick, or take a ride on the slip and slide!

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

Welcome aboard Krasny! Glad to have you w/ us & as a member of the fandom.

Be sure that you spread the word on what a great show it is to all of your other friends as well. The more fans we can bring into the fold the better our odds of a movie sequel or some other continuation of the 'verse.

Keep flyin'!

Welcome to the fold, make yourself at home, one you watch Firefly you can never go back.

As for Van Helsing, ohh no how can people have such great tastes (Firefly) and like that.

Heres a quote/review of Van Helsing

"Vantastic, 5 Stars" News of the World (this is a erm rubbish newspaper).

"You can't take the sky from me"

Yes, welcome - revel in our enjoyment and pain. And for the record, yes Van Helsing was about as enjoyable as cleaning up after the dog.

Sorry FollowMal, I'll clean up the 499 browncoats right now.

How many times have we heard this story? Someone didn't think they'd like the show, sometimes they even saw a few bits and didn't like it.

Then they start watching the DVD set... and boom. I've seen someone go from as vitriolically against it as possible to being a whole hearted evangelist for Firefly, not to mention that guy who drank a jar of salad dressing.

Welcome aboard, glad to have you with us.
