Welcome home, copterdoc.
It's right shiny to have you join
us. (I've just peanut-buttered my
keyboard with my knife, I got so
excited.)

Guy's right. The buffet is magnificently
well stocked this evening, the strawberries
so fresh, the bao so tender, the wife soup
so perfectly seasoned.

Ignore whatever it is under the table.

You'll be getting a coat fairly soon, I think.

Did you bring a towel? Saturday is bath night.

Welcome aboard, Copterdoc!

Let me offer you an Irish Whiskey, if you'd like.

FollowMal will be along shortly with a browncoat of your very own.

It's always nice to have new folks on board. It just makes our family bigger and happier.

THEVERSE51

Well, here I am.

Finally decided to join up after lurking for a while. I remember the Firefly series ads on Fox - even though I am a SciFi fan it really didn't get my attention and I only checked out part of a couple episodes. Then about 3 months ago a blogger on ScienceBlogs.com (Seed magazine sponsored and an excellent set of science blogs across the entire science spectrum) wrote about the series and Serenity. I rented both and was hooked.

That is really shiny that our little show/movie has reached a place like that. Easy to get hooked, huh?

We're all hooked here.

We're happy to have you join us.. you need your browncoat too...I know it's only symbolic but it's given with a sincere wish that you feel like you totally belong. You're with family now.

Thanks. It fits great. As for new recruits. That is no work at all. All you have to do is get them to nibble and the hook sets itself. My wife thought I was crazy until I got her to watch the first few minutes of the first show. Next thing you know its 2 days later and she had watched the whole series and the BDM twice. I need to buy another copy of both because mine are in Iraq making the rounds right now.

Welcome, Oddsbodskins (great name, by the way!)! There is no official time limit on lurking before it can be called lurking, so I think you qualify. No matter how long (or short) it was, the important thing is that you've joined us.

Please be sure to tell us all you learned from the buffet. I've been trying to ask it subtle questions but it keeps ignoring me. I'm sure it has something to hide.

I didn't. I'm of Irish descent, and have found the Tullimore Dew to my liking, so I offer to share the beverage with folks.

I've not had makers mark. Is it a hard liquor or a malt variety beverage? (I need to find me a quizzical emoticon.)

Hello, Firefly fans. I wasn't completely sure I wanted to join in here as I'm a (very) new fan and I figured I'd be a bit out of place... but, this thread encouraged me to go ahead.

I just want to say that this show is INCREDIBLE and I'm so sorry I never knew about it while it was actually being broadcast.

A couple friends of mine (huge Firefly fans) showed me the TV series and Serenity and I'm so glad they did. I admit I was a bit confused at first, but that faded as I was sucked into this amazing world and I absolutely love both Firefly/Serenity now. I've only seen one Firefly episode so far, but I cannot wait to see the rest. The writing on this show is phenomenal and the characters are wonderful - the only show I've ever seen that can beat Firefly/Serenity in those areas is Everwood (and, yes, I'm still mourning its cancellation. Why do all the best shows get the boot?!).

Long live Firefly/Serenity! <3

Edited to add: I have to admit, I did a bit of an injustice to my Gilmore Girls with this one... it at least ties with Firefly.

I have de-activated my Lurking Device (I believe that's Cling-on technology) after observing for years. I was never even anonymous.
Firstly, obviously, I must say: Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race and we must learn to live in harmony. Secondly, (equally obviously) I must say do send round that hootch. That's bracing!
According to this-here fantastical gizmo, complete with it's spectacular array of lights, the thing in the egg is quite tasty. If you toss it in the soup and give everyone a little, it eases the resentment caused by ScrewTheAlliance's vacation. Harumph. Well deserved though it is. (Eighty-three gorram chapters!) Still, I have AMDOBELL's lovely body (of work) to cuddle up to.
Also, does anyone else suspect that FollowMal is really an ancient sent to watch over us?
Speaking of whom, might I have a coat now, it's awful cold in the black.

Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Hello all, I'm not sure if i'm doing this right or not but here goes. I've been a lurker here for a while and have become a very big fan of the verse. Seen the movie bought the firefly dvd set I just wish I had found the show when it was on television (a bad divorce at the time of its airing) but i'm wearing out those dvd's now. I am now ready to join the browncoats and to do my part to get more of the verse we all love and enjoy.

I couldn't possibly have said it better than that! (Though, my guilty pleasure is American Idol - the only reality TV I find worthy of watching.) I suppose that's precisely how awful, trashy, lacking-in-any-sort-of-quality-whatsoever-shows-that-I-shall-not-name-in-order-to-be-polite managed to beat my Everwood onto the CW...
:( *tear* But, I don't need to tell you all how heartbreaking that is... you most certainly know. :(

Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

Thanks for the drink, RMMC!

Question for you all: What do "BDM" and "BDH" mean? I've been seeing those around and I can't quite figure out their meaning, though I conjure the first one has something to do with the movie (it seems to be used in place of it, as far as I can tell)...
