There are alot of Aussies that pass through here. There was a thread awhile ago called Aussie Browncoats that did a rollcall for Aussies but damned if I know how to find it.

Anyway - have you heard the news? Channel 7 is finally going to show Firefly on FTA! Its a really crappy timeslot - 12:30pm 10th of November. Check local guides!

Very shiny news tho!

I just read that Channel 7 are starting with "The Train Job" instead of "Serenity". This is a TRAVESTY. Im so mad right now - if the ungodly timeslot wasnt enough.
Grrrrrr

Oooh! Mangoes!

Tuesday, November 2, 2004 7:31 AM

So does that mean they'll only be showing the 11 eps that went to air on FOX, and not all the ones that were made?

GRRRR!!!! Mind you, there's no reason why I would stay up (or tape) the tv, when I have all the eps, ad free, at home.

Sorry, but as I don't have a ratings book or box they won't know whether i watched anyway, so it's a non-issue.

My problem with it is that it won't draw in the new fans who may otherwise have gone for it. Why can't they show it prime time in a non-ratings period and make us all happy????

I guess it's better than nothing, and I'll be lobbying to have them broadcast again prior to the movie's release in a better time slot!

BTW - from Sydney - it's nice to find other Aussies on the site.

Yup I'll say!

Great to see some perth people as well. You guys pick up firefly at Empire Toys in the city? Its where I got mine and the only place I've ever seen it.

I honestly don't really see the point in seven broadcasting it if its going to be at 12:30. There are not many people who'll stay up that late to watch a show they've (probably) never even heard of. Have seven advertised it at all?

Perth! There seems to be quite a following here.

Shows how smart they are at Seven, show the series after they've released it on DVD.

I got mine at EzyDVD. But I have seen it at Big W and JB Hifi.

Where's Empire Toys? It sounds like an interesting place. What do they sell there?

Hey Guys,

Newcastle here.

I've converted heaps of people. Basically everyone i've lent my spare DVD set to has become addicted and purchased their own set.

I have tried to get the video rental places like Video-EZY to rent out Firefly to no avail..

Reading above that channel 7 is airing Firefly at 12:30pm.. how bloody stupid can you get!! Thats as bad as Fox's original blunder with airing. Studio execs wouldnt know a sure/good thing if it bit them on the ass..

I'm basically doing everything I can to increase Firefly DVD sales and popularise the upcoming Serenity movie(which I am certain will be a huge success anyway) in the hopes of a series return or at the very least more movies.

I seriously class Firefly as the BEST TV viewing ever.

If anyone knows who to contact at channel 7 about their poor viewing time please advertise that fact to us all. Lets campaign them for a better slot!

Wednesday, November 3, 2004 11:07 AM

I remember you now Calhoun! (i havent been here in a while)

lol you are right though but I guess you gotta start somewhere. I spose the reasoning behind it is that they don't have to go through every single letter people send. and if they did have a more direct line of contact chances are it would be pretty full up with people trying to get through. I guess u gotta go with what they give you

One thing I'm concerned with is the movie's popularity here, especially considering the crappy timeslot seven has given us on television. If there's enough advertising for the film before its out its got a good chance of doing well.

But I think theres a hell of a lot of americans that know and love firefly and definitely not as many australians.

I hope they make it a "Big deal" release here and not one of those movies they give two ads for and are out for only two weeks.

Any guesses on which one it'll be?

Hey guys! Melbourne Calling... (and all the Londoners weep...)

Re: Channel Seven - It seems as if the letter campaign only made them more determined to give the show a crappy timeslot. I'm also disappointed that they're starting with The Train Job. They could have started with Serenity Part 1, surely! I agree - perhaps the best way to go now would be asking them to show it during the summer non-ratings season leading up to the movie in April.

^^^ Ch 7 has finally come around and will be screening Firefly FTA as of Nov. 10th. But they're starting with The Train Job. Instead of sitting around calling them crazy, Libosis, Weevs, and buffy.com.au have set up the site above. Download a letter, print it off, send it in. Maybe we can get Channel 7 to change their minds and screen the series in the right order... :)

Hiya peoples,

Perthian here. Just come to round up more people for the Firefly meetup on Sunday. Gloria Jeans Coffee shop in Perth a 2pm. Really looking forward to meeing everyone. We might also be able to work in a walk down to Empire. It's a cool little store, but not the easiest place to find.

Also got some contact ph #'s here for channel 7, if anyone feels like giving them an ear bashing (just make sure it's a polite one, so they listen to your grievances).

Sydney: (02) 8777 7777
Adelaide: (08) 8342 7777
Brisbane: (07) 3369 7777
Melbourne: (03) 9697 7777
Perth: (08) 9344 0777
Queensland: (07) 5430 1777

Really imaginitive phone numbers aren't they?!

Here's hoping channel 7 have some ability to use logic and reason!

Thanks for the news, Jumpy. I'd like to reiterate that it would be really really great if everyone could send in a letter or fax to Channel 7, or call them, especially in the next few days, asking them to show Serenity Pt 1. instead of The Train Job first, as well as encouraging them to show all the episodes in the Whedon-certified intended order, *not* the order Fox screened them in. Check out www.sixdegreesofwhedon.com for more info.

I'd also like to remind Browncoats in the Melbourne area that we're having our second meetup this coming Sunday November 14th at 2pm. Please go to http://firefly.meetup.com/161/events/ for more information, and if you're a first-timer feel free to join up and RSVP.

Hey, speaking of which, did the Browncoat contingent in Perth get together this weekend? How did it go?

I unfortunately couldn't make it to the meetup. Those uni history papers are a killer sometimes :P. I hope they got together in the end though

Well the meetup was a bust. I actually live with Idiot Child, and we went along with our other friend SpikeyG, and then met up with a total of no other people. :(

The venue was rather crappy, so it could be that people turned up and we just didn't see each other, but it was rather disheartening. We did have a good afternoon after that though, shopping in Perth. A trip down Hay St to the new Empire Toys proved fruitful for SpikeyG, and I got a Four Star Mary cd from 78's, so all in all the day wasn't a total loss. It was just slightly more Buffy orientated as opposed to Firefly.

Here's hoping next month will be better. I'm looking for a different venue, so suggestions from Perthians are highly welcome. Also a date change, to later in the month as IC and I are both going to be out of town the first week in December.

Let me know your views, so we can really make the next meetup a success,

Sydney here.

Thought I'd log on and see what our reactions were to the news that 7 assigned the death slot to Firefly. From a business perspective, I can understand - Australian broadcasters usually wait for around a year or two to see how a series fairs in the US to gauge whether it has a future on tv or not. To them, it looks like they can only milk Firefly for a few weeks for diehards then the movie will come out (which they won't make bucks for unless they get the screening rights), and then that'll be it for them, so they can only assign it a deathslot.

However, 3 things to note:

1) They are targetting the geeks and diehards, putting it up against ST:Voyager, hoping that some of that crowd will come 7's way - no other target audience there.

2) It screens after Alias, so maybe they're hoping for some sort of run on to Firefly - same crowd and target audience to them, and only geeks and diehards will stay up at that time, right?

3) With 11 (hopefully 14) episodes and one ep a week, give or take the Xmas - New Year intereference, it looks like they're timing the end of the series with the run on to the movie, which kinda makes sense.

But by then, look at who will be left watching - to Ch 7, it's a case of Preaching to the Converted.

To all of this, I say GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh.

Btw, good to see you still carrying the torch Young Spirit! Keep up the good work

JUMPY

Monday, November 8, 2004 4:55 AM

Yeh about what you are saying about seeing how a series fairs in the US first:

I notice on Channel Ten they air these new crime drama or sci fi shows close to prime time. And yet they're shows I've never heard of before, with not even a huge fuss made over them on the internet. Just a couple of examples, there was that show about the crime fighting taxi driver, that lasted for 'bout 5 seconds. And there was that Jake 2.0 show, same story as firefly got cancelled after only so many episodes in its first season. What's more, they air them once a week for five weeks at the most and they don't air them anymore.

So, granted I've used a different network as an example, why would they see these shows doing well (or having a future as you said) on Australian television and yet not firefly, which with its DVD release has now become a pretty big success AND a big deal on the net AND with an imminent movie release?

So I do agree with you about them rating success in US first , but I'm always questioning the kind of logic and research they actually put into this sort of thing. Unfortunately reality television and other mediocre programs are still favoured, pushing quality shows out of the picture.

Monday, November 8, 2004 8:48 AM

Before I say anything, I have to say that I have a vehement dislike for (bad) reality TV. But this is where the topic of reality TV gets interesting: just like drama and comedy, there is good and bad reality tv. Favourites of mine in the past include The Mole, The Amazing Race (at least the early ones) and, admittedly, the first season of Survivor. And while I hearitly agree - most reality shows on the box are "utter shite" - there are a few good ones out there.

Back on topic (sort of), I called Ch. 7 today. Encouragingly, it sounds like they've already gotten some mail and phone calls about it, because when I got through to the programming department and started asking, the woman I spoke to told me they were aware of the situation. Unfortunately, it appears that Ch 7 believes they need to screen them in the US order. I told her about what happened in the UK (Sci-Fi channel found out the correct, dvd-set order and screened them as such) and I think she said something along the lines of 'they were looking into it, but if they don't have a firm result/permission by Wednesday, they will go ahead with The Train Job.

So don't stop calling and letter writing!

Oh, and the logic they use in these cases... ??? Who knows? But I don't think they spend enough time websurfing

'Yes... this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "this land".' 'I think we should call it your grave.' 'Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!'

Monday, November 8, 2004 11:42 AM

Some good thoughts in there.

Re: Ch10 and airing new "no-hopers" for 5 weeks, yeah, that's an astute observation. Come to think of it, Ch10 has a very decidedly different way of marketing their programs. In fact they all do I guess. Ch10 really tries to sell their programs with over-hype and mystery. Ch9 seems to go for the grand, epic overview (it's always the number 1 drama that changed the planet in some way), and when they try and connect with the younger, "hip" generation, it really fails miserably (they've currently got a thing for repeating certain words rap-style to appear cool - their ad-maker needs to get laid). Ch7 undersells everything, which is both good and bad - good because the cheesiness is of a lesser quantity than the others, but bad for new unknowns - such as our beloved series.

But take a look under the surface and maybe we get a hint why: Ch10 is basically 3 things: reality shi+, law&order and the Simpsons. Ch9 is basically the loyal Packerettes, Survivor and prime time US favourites (CSI, ER, etc). Ch7 is the hip crowd - Alias, Buffy, Dark Angel... I think Ch10 is always hungry for passionate fandom for its shows, so they hype the hell out of the programs they buy hoping that there are some sick people who are just as passionate about X as we are about Firefly :) Ch9 has its trekkers and ER-ites, Ch7 has its buffy /alias crowd, the closest thing to that sort of nutness Ch10 has are A-idol and big brother (it used to have Xphiles but they've all gone back to their motherships now and they're desparate for more!).

Just some food for thought.

That's some great news YoungSpirit, it's v. pleasing to know there are more nuts out there than those that show up here :)

Is anyone able to pull up stats on just how well DVD sales were for Firefly? Aussie or world sales? is there a way of finding out? Just curious to see how many closet browncoats are really out there...

Lol Channel ten: Law and order and the simpsons. You're not wrong! Channel ten likes its American sitcoms also, Seinfeld, Just Shoot Me, Becker to name a few.

Ch7 is the hip crowd - Alias, Buffy, Dark Angel...
... I dunno... would you call us the hip crowd or the 'cult crowd'? Because I know few sane people who would stay up as late as we (are forced to) do to get our 'fix' ... :)

But hey, nobody ever said that cult was bad. The way I see it, 'cult' is the word they use for great shows that were (a) perhaps too clever and smart, intelligent and funny for their own good, or (b) good shows that weren't promoted well enough or (c) both of the above.

I bought (Australian) Empire this arvo, and was perusing when I found this...

===== =====

In The Insider's You Heard It Here First column on pg. 18

Buffy creator Joss Whedon is well on the way to turning Firefly, his prematurely (and unjustly) cancelled sci-fi show, into Serenity, a full-length motion picture. Best summed up as "Far East meets old West in outer space", the film picks up six months after the series left off, but aims to be as accessible to newcomers as to seasoned fanboys. "It was the hardest thing I've ever written, to tell the story without repeating or contradicting myself," Whedon confesses to The Insider, reflecting on an arduous 15 months spent penning the script. "I never want to do that again." So, we've got to wonder , why did he do it in the first place? "Because I believe in the story, I believe in the characters and I believe in these actors," he insists. "I truly believe these people are worth, if not seven years of a series, then a big-ass movie."

===== =====

About time the Aussie mags got in on the act! I hope they have some good coverage when the movie comes out next year...

When I called Ch 7 last week (Monday lunchtime)I was given the impression that they were contractually obligated to follow the screening schedule set out by Fox, BUT the woman I talked to said that they were aware of the situation and that they were trying to contact Fox and figure it out. She said that if it wasn't figured out before Tuesday afternoon then they would screen the Train Job, which they did. However, it looks like they finally figured it all out and will (hopefully!) screen the rest of the series in order.

How does this jibe with other people's interactions with Ch. 7??

Well this confirms it. When I watched the Region 1 DVD I swore I saw a "6 Years Later" subtitle after the scene of Mal having his soul crushed and we jump forward to the salvage operation.

It's strangely absent from my Region 4 DVD set. I wonder if they simply forgot to include it?

Good to see so many of you on this thread.

I noticed last night that 7 decided (maybe you guys made enough noise to persuade them) to play the first half of Serenity. At last, some sanity.

The only gripe I have is they don't bother playing it in wide screen. Just doesnt' look the same as on the DVD. I'm buying a second copy as a Christmas present. I love it.

First saw the show on SCI-FI Channel while visiting Canada earlier in the year. Only saw one episode, but went out the next day & bought the (Region 1) Box Set. Got back home & a few weeks later the Region 4 box set came out!

Have held a few Firefly evenings & converted quite a few people, who in turn have converted quite a few people. I also own a piece of Serenity (one of the 2 comm mikes).

Can't wait for the movie!

Luck and a disregard for the value of money.

I saw the comm mike advertised on eBay. It was being sold by the wife of a set worker who had collected it on invitation when the sets were being destroyed. She kept the other one, and also owns the compression coil shown in OUT OF GAS. I haven't put it in a display case yet, but I did post pics to the Blue Sun room a few months ago. You can be happy that a piece of Serenity lives in Australia. I am!

Funny you mentioned Canada. I have a friend there who writes film reviews part-time. He missed the thing completely and didn't bother to find out. I sent him 3 million pages of email on it, So he's now fully briefed.

I'm checking in on him at intervals to make sure he gets it.

Very impressed with the collectibles you mentioned. The compression coild as well? You could start a Firefly display museum.

(I wish I had that much disregard for the value of money ) Perhaps if we ever get some sort of Firefly convention happening in Australia you could invite the cast to have a visit with it Any chance you could point us toward the photos you talked about? Perhaps post a link?

Re: Battlestar Galactica - if you're talking the new mini-series/series... I think Ch 10 is going to show them next year, I vaguely remember seeing something about it on their "Coming in 2005" ads. Keep an eye out!

No, the coil is owned by the lady who sold me the mike. THAT would be one cool memento! But I'm happy owning a piece of the ship that was in every episode.

A pic of the mike is here:

You normally saw the back of it when Wash or whomever was holding it, but the back don't look like much. It's obviously a real-world item that has been pressed into service. The brandname/logo is covered with a piece of tape to ptevent it showing up in a shot.

I'm curious about this too, and about the worldwide number. Posted this question elsewhere but got no answer.

As for playing Firefly at 1AM... I can't understand why they are playing repeats of Alias EARLIER than Firefly. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at anything they do. I hope there are no Alias fans here, but that show sucks. (sorry).

Glad I looked at the pic. It's neat. I am glad you've got it too.

I mistakenly thought it was the "wireless" version that was seen in Ariel when Mal talked to Jayne who was stuck in the airlock.

Off topic:

You know, it would be neat if they ever shoot future episodes (here's hoping) of Serenity/firefly here. That's the one thing we're missing. It was great to read blogs about the set and the cast and meeting them.

I'd say it would be even better than having the Star Wars prequels shot here (at Fox Studios).

About Fox studios... I remember taking a little sneak at some of the sets of Attack of the Clones when it was being filmed. A friend was a set builder there, and she got me in. I was suffering from shock for the next few months. But, you know, it's overrated in retrospect. Both the film and the size of the production. Especially when you consider two things:

- Firefly was made under extreme duress and at a fraction of the budget of any Star Wars prequels. As the saying goes... lots of money doesn't mean it's gonna be good.

- Fox (the owner of Fox Studios) cancelled Firefly.

These seem enough reasons for me to not think much of all that. More and more, I realise how important it is to have good stories and characters. I guess that's why we're all on this chat. But I think I'm digressing.

About the release delay:

What a bummer. I know I can't use swear words, so that's all I should say. I really hope marketing is all there is behind it, and there are no sinister reasons. Man, such a long time to wait.

So glad to hear it. I think they go for $60 here in Sydney at some outlets. But, because most video shops don't even know about it, most of the time it's gotta be ordered in. (in time for Christmas, I guess).

By the way, someone suggested on this site to go to Enough Rope's site and register Joss Whedon as an interview guest, about a week ago.

I think a few of us did it, and got in. I remember seeing about 4 or 5 entries for Joss. I don't think they take any more now. I hope they get him on.

Melbourne here. I missed the first episode on 7 due to exams and not having the faintest idea that it was actually on, but have enjoyed both parts of "Serenity" and fully intend to continue watching the show. To be honest, despite my enjoyment of Joss's previous creations I was skeptical about the idea of a "western" sci-fi show, but it seems to have been pulled off pretty well. Hey, I'm just glad I've got something to fill a little of my time over the summer break.

I *wish* I could be watching Firefly into the wee hours of the morning. But uni holidays spell - for me - a return home to 'the country' and Prime television. And for some reason Guthy-Renker and Danoz Direct seem to have a much better hold over the coveted post-midnight timeslots than the best show in the 'Verse. Disappointing, to say the least.

Also disappointing (and disheartening) is the fact that Jothanax couldn't get hold of a Firefly DVD box set in... Melbourne? Perhaps we need to do a bit more submersive guerilla marketing in the Victorian capital...

Hey everybody!!!
Not that anybody will know where it is, but I live in Kalgoorlie- mining community about 700 k's East of Perth. Apart from those few I have converted, there is absolutely no firefly support out here. Not much chance that there will be either. You think you guys got it bad, but when they decided to show firefly on our local network (we don't get ch.7 here) they gave it to us at 1.25 on friday night, and they gave us 'Bushwhacked' first!! Not only that, but then they waited 4 weeks, gave us 'Jaynestown', followed by 'Our Mrs Reynolds' and last week it was in our viewing guide for us to get 'Out of Gas' and we never got it!!! It was in again for this week but I missed it because I fell asleep on the lounge. I swear, are they trying to kill any hope that people will go and see the movie.
And may I just say that I am VERY annoyed that we are going to have till November to get the movie. Why can't we get it the same time as the US? Well, at least Joss can count on having my support. And trust me, I will be dragging my friends along to see the movie whether they want to or not!!
BTW- Can't help on how or where to get DVD's. IdiotChild bought mine for my birthday (Thanks by the way for that)

Calhoun,

I just remembered this conversation from months ago, when you mentioned Battlestar Galactica and how good it was. I remember not being too convinced at the time, but now, I just want to say, you were absolutely right. I love BG. I kept thinking "It's going to disappoint me any minute now", but I'm glued to it every week. I just went out and bought the pilot disc for more than I should pay.

I also got me a widescreen TV as mentioned so long ago. Only a small 66cm, but nice. Did get me a few scratches and bumps just putting the damn purpose-built cabinet together, but it's so nice to watch this stuff on.

Anyway, to confirm that you were right about Battlestar. I wanted to get the whole season, but as usual, EasyDVD said "It's not in stock, but if you fork out 95 bucks now, we'll order it in for you". I hate that.

I go so far as to say BSG is the second all time best show ever! close on the heels of Firefly.

After Firefly ended there was a huge, long void in quality TV, especially quality Sci Fi TV. Even though it still pains me to think Firefly on TV is over I am happy now Battlestar is around. I hope it continues for many good, long seasons.

I was chatting with a US Browncoat about an idea they are thinking of
implimenting for a shindig, and it sounds pretty awesome...
definately something we could do down here.

You're familiar with Paint Ball or Skirmish? Two teams, armed to the
teeth with a gun loaded with paint balls, battle it out for
supremacy - The Independants vs The Alliance.

It'd also be a cool fun way of getting newbies along!

There's a bunch of paint ball places around and about, but the most
affordable ones are in Sydney. Eg:
http://www.paintball.com.au/index.html in West Ryde

We could make a full weekend out of it - I can organise cheap group
indoor accomodation (self catering) in a bush setting through some
networks I have - so we could have screenings and a full-blown
shindig in the evenings.

Bearing in mind that it'll take some time to organise (and I wanna
come too), how does Queens Birthday Weekend in June sound?
