Welcome home, phoenixstars.
It's right shiny to have you aboard
our boat.

Watch out for guy's offers, though.
The gun may be free but he'll charge
you for the ammo or you'll have to
fight one of his clones for it.

Me, I hand out strawberries and invites
to come up to the galley for the buffet.
This night we are featuring mangos,
pineapple, papayas, bananas, all manner
of brownies and cookies, and the traditional
hot cheese with chips.
Captain may favor us later with a big dish
of his renowned Repeating Bean Dip.

Drinkables are at the far end. Mudder's,
Dew, Nandi's fine rice wine, and the
fountain of shimmerwine.

No worries, Tristan, looks like I have everyone to help me hold down the fort while RadarRese is gone.

Well i am kind of new-ish. First saw Firefly when it premiered with "The Train Job". I liked it, didn't love it, how wrong i was! Then i simply lost track of it, wasn't good back then with keeping track of time (i was 12, didn't pay much attention to when a tv show was on, and now i am sorry i didn't), and we always ate out on Friday nights and whatnot so i only saw like 2 or 3 episodes after that.

Then i remembered Firefly a few months later, and it wasn't on anymore. And i was like, "what happened?" And then i dropped it.

Then in Winter 2004/5 i was in the theater. And this preview came on for something. It seemed like a sci-fi movie. Looked cool. And for some reason i thought to myself "it's a Firefly movie." and i leaned over to my mom and said "Firefly" and then the title came up and it was Serenity. And then i checked at home and there it was, Serenity was a movie based on the tv series Firefly. And i said to my mom, "I have to see it when it comes out." Don't know why, wasn't a huge fan of it when it first started.

And then it came out. And i begged my parents to take me. And they didn't. And they wouldn't let me go by myself. And so i was not happy. Then over Winter Break from school we rented it, due to my severe pressure and begging. We watched it. I fell in love. I absolutely adored it. It was amazing!!! And then i didn't get enough cash to buy the series and the movie until about a month ago. I got it. Watched it. Loved it. And now i am proud to say, "I am a Browncoat." Watched the entire series two and a half times (due to commentaries is the half) and working on making it 3 and a half. Seen the movie probably 5 or 6 times since i bought it.

And i signed up here and all. And i love it.

I LOVE FIREFLY AND SERENITY AND THIS WHOLE 'VERSE!!!!!

Don't think i told you guys anythign about how i came to discover Firefly when i first came. Although i'm pretty sure that FollowMal gave me my browncoat from a thread i started a while back. So no need to greet me, you've all seen me around and all. Just wanted to give out my path to finding Firefly.

Hi, Phoenixstars!

I'm fairly new, too (joined about a week ago, saw the movie for the first time about three weeks ago, and the beginning of Firefly a couple of months before that). There seems to be a number of us "newbies" lately. I haven't spent a lot of time here yet, but I can tell you it's a nice place. I think you'll feel at home.

Thanks all.

Shiny, my own browncoat.

I saw the movie when it came out on DVD over here and the same day I returned the rental I bought my own copy. A week after that I bought the Firefly DVDs. So I've been a fan for a while but I only just found this place yesterday. Guess I haven't been looking hard enough.
