Okay, so I'm new to the community. Hi.

A little about me. I'm a 20-something college student and part time writer from the Netherlands. My field of study is policy, management and technology, for those who are interested. When I'm not studying or working (an honest job, I swear) I'm working on the manuscript of my first book. (or on Fanfiction, because I like to steal characters and toy with them.)

I got into watching Firefly over the weekend because I had it sitting on my hard drive for a while now. I'm ashamed to admit I downloaded it because of the references made on The Big Bang Theory. (Seriously, I couldn't stand that there was a show mentioned that I didn't know, so I downloaded it) And then, after I watched everything (in order, or so it turns out) I rewatched everything. I swear, it's the best show I ever saw, how did it ever get canceled?

So here I am: I volunteered to be a browncoat because, well, it seemed like the thing to do.

For those of us who watched when it was originally broadcast it turned out to be both ironic and downright cruel that the last lines we heard on the show were:

Mal - We're still flying.
Simon - That's not much.
Mal - It's enough.

I honestly didn't know that those were the last lines of the show...

The last lines we heard here in the States, but of course that should have been the last lines of the first episode we saw.

This was the broadcast schedule for Firefly:
20 September, 2002 - The Train Job
27 Sept - Bushwhacked
4 Oct - Our Mrs. Reynolds
11 Oct - preempted
18 Oct - Jaynestown
25 Oct - Out of Gas
1 Nov - Shindig
8 Nov - Safe
15 Nov - Ariel
22 Nov - preempted
29 Nov - preempted
6 Dec - War Stories
13 Dec - Objects in Space
20 Dec - Serenity (finally, the pilot)

Trash, Heart of Gold & The Message never aired, not seen in the US until the DVD release.

The way it should have aired:
Serenity
The Train Job
Bushwhacked
Shindig
Safe
Our Mrs. Reynolds
Jaynestown
Out of Gas
Ariel
War Stories
Heart of Gold
Objects in Space
Trash
The Message

Then Joss reshot and/or looped some dialogue in the last few and rearranged them for the DVD set, so the last four after War Stories ended up:
Trash
The Message
Heart of Gold
Objects in Space

Just to add that Firefly had already been cancelled by Fox, and Joss was able to finish shooting the final scenes/episodes, and the entire filming was wrapped on 20 December, without the Pilot ever being broadcast, and none of them knowing if it ever would be aired. That night they all went home and saw the Pilot broadcast.

It was officially on "hiatus" at first, but deep down we all knew what that meant.

IIRC, we knew the pilot was airing at least a week ahead of time.

Here's one of the old threads about it the cancellation.
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=1146
It was started a week before the pilot aired and it mentions Adam and Tim posting about it elsewhere. Damn, has it really been that long ago?



And welcome, Xipper!
