Welcome, Harold! Glad you've found your way home.

You'll find that everyone here feels exactly the way you do, and we're always happy to see new folks. They've all got stories! Speaking of which, how did you find your way to the 'verse?

We like to give newcomers a (virtual) Browncoat of their very own. FollowMal has the shiny new ones, but if you'd prefer something a little more lived-in, I've been recycling (cleaning, patching, repairing) previously-loved 'coats. I'm sure there's one here that'll fit, more or less.

*hands harold a mostly servicable browncoat*

If you ever get one of FM's new ones, just drop this one off in the storeroom for the next newcomer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm pointin' right at it!

Welcome Harold...I found the 'verse just a few months ago myself. Pull up a stump and sit a spell; vote for firefly as best TV show; there's a link here you can vote once an hour...join up on Sci-Fi forums and express your desire to see the show return..the Sci-Fi channel IS having a Firefly marathon on Dec. 12...I'm planning on calling in sick (**coff**coff**..heh heh heh) from work that day...visit us often and we'll commiserate on why this incredible gem of a television show was cancelled...when there's so much crap still on. And..if you've never been and are so inclined; join up with the browncoat army next Labor Day in Atlanta...we're going to continue just showing up and growing!

Welcome Harold95. You're among friends and family here. And may I suggest a thing or two to look into?

1) The River Tam sessions, a viral marketing idea Joss put together with Summer's help a few weeks before the movie's release. You can find more at session416.com

2) Done The Impossible - at donetheimpossible.com. The story of the rebirth of Firefly as Serenity as told through the eyes of fans.

3) The Signal and Firefly Talk - podcasts about Firefly and Serenity. http://fireflytalk.libsyn.com/
http://signal.serenityfirefly.com/

4) And neither last nor least, Mosquito! http://mosquitoverse.com/
A hi-larious Firefly parody film.

There are also the Visual Companion, movie novelization, the Dark Horse comics/Those Left Behind comic novel, T-shirts and Jayne hats, action figures and statues... and more to come, I'm sure!

Welcome to a very shiny group of people Harold!
All the folks here are very friendly, and it's not hard at all to feel welcome.

And yes, this is very normal behavior...pretty soon you'll wonder why other horribly crappy movies/shows are made and they cancelled Firefly. And then there's always the urge to go storm Fox's offices with torches and pitchforks too....

SIRI

Hey Harold95,
I'm also a newbie. Was a Buffy buff. Nathan played a bad-ass preacher in several Buffy episodes and I heard Joss talking about him in the commentary. I had watched Serenity this summer and liked it but didn't discover Firefly until I heard Joss' comments.

I into my 3rd time through and have been sharing Serenity with my friends (bought a second copy to share).

These Browncoats have been working long and hard to keep Serenity flying. You'll enjoy hanging out with them because we all share the love of the 'verse and her folks.

As far why it was cancelled - there's certainly no accounting for taste or good sense.

Welcome to the party. It's kinda fun to see a newbie scream the same stuff we ALL screamed one time or another.

Check out the favorite scene/ favorite quote or subtle bits threads ( can't remember the exact names, but they're in the TOP 100, or will come back.). Then watch the eps again, see how many nifties are new on the second pass...

Hey Harold, you are most definitely not alone, in what you think or what you do! FloralBunny will be able to tell you exactly how many other Browncoats are on this site (and it is only one of many such sites) but it is well over 25,000 and going up every day!

Enjoy the shows (again and again!) this site, the company, and knowing that there are many Browncoats holding the line with you around the world.

HAROLD95

thank you for the very warm welcome!

how it came to be.....

my mom had given me serenety. i tossed it in the stack of dvd's i have and never looked at it.

i missread the title and thought it said "serendipity" and thinking it was a chick flick (no offence!) i never got around to watching it, till last week whe i was having a rough night and wanted to watch something NEW.

i popped in the dvd and was stuck to the screan, glad i had finally corrected that mistake!

then in watching joss's commentaries and opening dialogue, i realized that this movie had something to go with firefly.

so i got me the whole season dvd's and last night i watched the last one, #4. although i still have all the extras to watch, and seeing as how i have only seen disc 4 one time, i think i have to watch it many more times !

an absolutely amazing show and movie....and to the person that asked, yes i saw the movie FIRST.

kinda a wierd way to go about it, but seeing the movie got me hooked, and when i realized there was more......

i went for it!

coming into the 'verse from the movie is pretty common (at least that was my way in!) and seeing as the fanbase is growing daily with guys like me and you, you just have to wonder how the series would have done if it had come after a movie like Stargate etc... ah, but to dream eh?...

Harold95, I came to the verse in much the same way, watching the movie first, then finding out about the series and watching those next.

After you watch the behind the scenes you HAVE to re-watch the movie. Serenity is awesome, but it's even better after you've come to know and love each character. There's so many little things they throw in that you'd only really catch if you watch the series!

what i have just realized is that there is commentary on most of the shows, so now i am rewatching all the shows, with the commentary.
there is allways good stuff with that information.

i knew the movie had it, but the season dvds were kinda elusive.

Welcome Harold95 glad to have you onboard.

I would venture to say that 95% of us browncoats were intruduced to Firefly through Serenity. This tells me that 1) the series was poorly pubisized and 2) if we had the numbers then that we have now we still (at this time) may have a weekly dose of the veres.

Anyhoo, didn't a browncoat come up with the idea of pitchforks and torches and a marshmellow roast(subsitute marshmellow with F*X) at F*X's place? I'm in :)
