Hello to all. The wife and I are big sci-fi fans and just recently discovered FireFly. We ran across Serenity several months ago in the video store and liked it alot, then when the wife was Tivoing some stuff on Sci-Fi, Direct TV came back with a suggestion on FireFly. She said ok and the rest is history. We started watching the first one and said "Hey wait a minute these are the same characters from Serenity!" We watched the Tivoed episodes and immediately went out and bought the DVD collection. I am sure this story has been repeated many times here, but it is mind boggling to me that a show of this quality did not succeed and is still somewhat unknown. Hopefully that is changing now. I am going to be talking it up and loaning the DVDs. We are on the 3rd or 4th viewing of all the episodes now. I hope that someday FireFly can be reborn, hopefully as a series. I am a big StarTrek fan, I watch Battlestar, Stargate and the wife watches FarScape as well, but FireFly IMHO is the best scifi show I have ever seen. Here's hopin.....

Welcome to the 'verse That WentWell!

FollowMal should be along shortly to give you your very own virtual Browncoat.

We're all hoping for more and with more Browncoats joining every day maybe it will happen!

SISTER

Welcome! I am new to the 'verse as well..just got my browncoat yesterday as a matter of fact. If I could be as graciously welcoming to you as others on this site have been to me; I, too, just recently (August) found Firefly/Serenity. Isn't it just awful that this spectacular series was canceled?? HOW, WHY, when there are so many gawdoffal programs on now? Oh, and NBC is no longer going to be doing 'scripted shows' as they're too expensive! My my..if ever we needed Firefly it's NOW.
Sorry for the mini-rant; my husband is also a HUGE fan..so I guess I'll have to share my browncoat with him sometimes. Welcome; this is a good group of smart people.

Welcome home, ThatWentWell!

No worries about finding the show later than some. What matters is that you're here now and spreading the love to all and sundry.

I see I got here before FollowMal, which means you can grab one of my recycled browncoats. If you don't mind a few tatters and patches, they're almost as good as FM's brand-new virtual ones. Except for the fit, unless you're lucky.

* Hands TWW a previously-loved browncoat that sorta fits *

Put your feet up and enjoy your stay. Any questions or comments are more than welcome.

I'm pointin' right at it!

Welcome, ThatWentWell! You're in good company here as we all feel the same that this was the best gorram show ever and that a certain unnamed nasty little network is run by pinheads.

That said, please let me offer you a glass of Irish whiskey to sip.

It's always a pleasure to meet new folks. It also sounds like you're headed in the right direction, eg: the recruiting.

Look forward to seeing you around!

Welcome ThatWentWell:

Yes you are correct about people asking why this show went off the air. But that is what we all have said, and still wonder why.

You did find the movie and the DVD's of the series and that is good. And now you can share your experience here. So glad you found us.

Allow me to add my welcome also, ThatWentWell. Love the moniker. Besides the FF/S reference, it also has a nice Native American cadence. Shiny. Will your wife be joining us here as well? We have a few couples on board.

There are a wealth of interests served on board here so shop around and find your favorites. You'll be welcome wherever you go. And the Browncoats here are...well, the Browncoatiest people you're apt to find anywhere in the 'Verse. You've already met a fine sampling here.

"Well, here I am."

Now I am learning about scary.

Hi, ThatWentWell, and welcome aboard! Believe me, we NEVER get tired of hearing how folks became hooked on our beloved BDS and BDM. Those stories give us renewed hope that someday some TV executive will say, "Hey, aren't there an awful lot of people in love with this show and wouldn't it make sense to make more of this show they love so much?" Sigh. We can dream...

Anyway, we're so glad you're here!

Per-zact-ly, TWW. It's been said over and over.
The show wasn't marketed effectively, so it's still
being discovered.
As is our shiny crew here on fff.net.

TWW, you are #23283 to sign on.
Welcome home!
You've been browncoated already, I see.
Lookin' good.

Ramp offerings usually consist of drinkables and
these here-now strawberries which I've brought
back after a bit of an adventure.

Then it's up to the galley to question the buffet!
Look at all the edible goodness spread here, and
more coming.

Ice-planets are in the cooler, bottom shelf.
Newly re-stocked in a number of flavors.

Please do not step on ShipsCat or into her dish.

Spread the Firefly love!

CHRISTHECYNIC

Welcome here, we're weird.

I'm out of practice, a recent (completely unrelated) search on Google said that people told others, "Wait till Chris says hi," and I never came through for them. I have this strange desire to start an, "I missed you the first time, introduce yourself again," thread but I think that would be a little self centered of me.

Anyway, there are important things you need to know that you can probably figure out on your own which I'm going to tell you anyway.

The first is just to spread the word, if you feel how we feel you don't need to be told that it deserves to be seen, you've already said what we all live by, "I hope that someday Firefly can be reborn." But the thing is the chances are, well they suck, but that isn't important. The important thing is that there is only chance of it happening if more people learn about it.

The other thing is that if you just look around you'll find that you've come to a place where there are people who care about what you care about, and care about you. The reason for that is simple, we're a family, and you're a part of it, welcome home.

ThatWentWell,

Did you see Nathan (Our Captain) Fillion's recent movie SLiTHER? It is available on DVD in UK and Aussieland now and USA October 24, 2006.

Also Nathan will be on LOST (USA) November 8th, 2006 and he has a new movie in theaters January 5th, 2007 (UK USA) White Noise: The Light

Nathan also has a contract with Fox to either in a pilot for his own show or be on another show.

Joss Whedon has written the script for Wonder Woman and will be directing it sometime soon.

Keep spreading the word about Firefly/Serenity.

Browncoats, someday Firefly/Serenity is going to tip!

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

Welcome aboard ThatWentWell! Glad to have you here.

Trust me, we were confused at the cancellation of Firefly until we remembered it was Fox that had it and that they suck.

Spreading the word and loaning the dvds will be the key to growing the fanbase and the hopes of any continuation of the story. So, keep up the good work.

Take care & keep flyin'!

Thanks. "That's a kindness." Yes the wife will be joining. To all who responded, thanks. As far as the moniker, well naturally I tried a few that had already been taken. First one was Mudder. I thought no way that one's available. Sure enough. Then I tried YoSaffBridge. Maybe a chance no one has used that one. I actually missed that line on the first viewing of that episode. Wife pointed it out on the second viewing. Taken. Then I tried Catalyzer... nope used as well. We had just watched the episode where my moniker came from the night before so... TaDa!

Yep, looks like it may be difficult to get Serenity flying again, espeicially with the o-cast, at least anytime soon. Life goes on and it sounds like Nathan's career is starting to blossom. I am still gonna remain hopeful though. I have never seen a cast of characters I liked more. The characters had depth, breadth. The writing was superb. There was humor and chemistry, a really crackling fine show. Hey FOX, either bring it back or let Sci-Fi bring it back and hurry!

I'll be in my bunk!
