I was thinking about being a browncoat, what it means, how it isn't a fad, or some little thing. I think once you are one, you can never not be one. Nathan, despite the fame, the riches to come, in his heart of hearts will always be a Browncoat. I can see Filion going strong into his 40's, 50's, and 60's. I can even picture a grey haired Captain Malcolm Reynolds fighting the good fight. One thing that is certain for me, I will foever be a "Browncoat". Hell, I was a Browncoat before I ever knew what a Browncoat was.

Fighting the good fight Sir, holding til you get back

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!?!?

I too was a Browncoat before I even knew it and was instantly aware of being one the minute I fell in love with Firefly.

I WILL be a Browncoat until the day I die. Proudly.

Yeah, I agree entirely. Whatever the future brings (and I hope it will bring more FIREFLY/SERENITY) I won't give up being a Browncoat. It's certainly not a fad. It's a part of life, a way of thinking and it's a loyalty to a cause (and a show) that I will always love.

Whatever comes.....we'll hold til Mal gets back. We have to.

I'm cheating a bit - I 'borrowed' this from Wikipedia:

Quote:
In the real world, "Browncoat" describes an especially devoted fan to the fictional Firefly universe. Browncoats sometimes wear bootleg Blue Sun t-shirts and caps, and can usually be found wearing them or character's costumes at conventions, making them recognizable to one another. The success of both the sales of the Firefly DVDs and the theatrical release of Serenity has been attributed largely to word of mouth of these Browncoats. Universal Studios had numerous early screenings of Serenity to existing fans of the series in an attempt to foster high ticket sales.

Many have made comparisons between Browncoats and Trekkies. To begin with, both are groups whose TV show was canceled and then turned into a movie because the fan base was so strong. Also, both groups have a language that is unique to them: for the Trekkies it's Klingon, for the browncoats it's Mandarin Chinese and a future form of English, with new words and slurred ones, like "gorram", which is a slur of "god-damn". Oddly enough, there are a number of Trekkies who have said that they consider Firefly to be one of the greatest science fiction shows ever. There are even people who consider themselves to be both a Trekkie and a Browncoat.

That's the appeal I found in all this, that I already WAS a Browncoat before having ever heard of 'em. The fact that I'm of an more advanced age than most typical SciFi fans (40) should give notice that I'm not one to lightly associate myself w/ the next 'cool' thing. Growing up, I never identified w/ Trekkers, Trekkies, or Jedi types. ( though I did enjoy some of the stories. ) Something just came along with which I identified, and that's pretty much that.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I agree with AURAPTOR. I've never been much of a fan of Star Trek or Star Wars, although there were shiny in their own way. It was just the 'reality' of Firefly that made it so appealing. Made me feel at home. I think I'll just tell the good lord when I die that I don't want no silky, shiny white robe. I'll just keep my dusty ol' browncoat.

I am right there with ya Raptor, turning 43 in april, so I grew up with star trek, and star wars. I love both those verses, but never have I been "in love" with them. I never been fanatical about anything except maybe videogames, until "Firefly". My whole life I have always done my best to do the right thing, do for my family, and keep on flying. I'm not perfect, the way it is, is the way it is. I'm sure if I wracked my brain, I could analyze why I love "Firefly" so deeply, but I'll sum it up into one sentence.

I'm 51 and this is the first show that I've ever gotten "obsessed" with to put it mildly. I always loved Star Trek but not even close to the degree I've loved Firefly and Serenity. When I consider what it means to be a Browncoat I think of things like a tenacity to keep trying in the face of failure, a never give in attitude and a sense that the majority is not always right, just the majority with all the power (Alliance). It also means a kind of virtual community of like minded people that share their love of something special that has touched a nerve in each of them. Something we all can indentify with on a deeper level that lets us put aside any of the petty differences that so many people focus on nowadays to separate themselves from others. How long will I be a Browncoat? Once you put on that coat there's no turnin back, it's with you till you die and perhaps even longer. Maybe God's a Browncoat?

AGIRLYMAN,

I agree that you can be a Browncoat a long while and not even know it. Heck I would even venture to say that most folks would consider themselves Browncoats. By definitons it would seem to be that you are a Browncoat if you simply don't take what authority has to say as gospel.

Who doesn't see things that way.Things aren't just black and white as the Alliance(and others) would have us think. there are plenty of gray areas that the controlers of worlds(and universes) use all the time to manipulate how things go.

So yep I'm a Browncoat. Been one since around age 10. Will continue to be one until I'm planted with my Brown coat still on.

From the moment I saw and fell in love with Firefly I became a browncoat. It does not go away like a disease, or mumps or chicken-pox. You become it, it becomes you. You are it, it is you. I will always be a browncoat. Till death do us part, and then some.

at 37 I saw Star Wars when I was 7 and have always been a fan of SciFi, I have always been a bit of a dreamer, and tried not to conform too much.

I have travelled, taken drugs (no harm in trying everything once) and now have given it all up and gone and got a family, 2 sprogs a wife and a small bu(S)iness. I have my own job and love the freedom, I do not aspire to being rich, I just appreciate what I have and get on with what is at hand. That is what I feel makes me a Browncoat.

All of the characters in Firefly live in a similar world to us, and want the same things. Even Jayne, though he won't admit it.

I have loved other TV shows passionately, but I've never really identified with them. I never wanted to become a doctor in Nowheresville, Alaska, or hunt aliens in a search for my abducted sister, or become a member of the presidential staff, but I certainly want to climb on board with Mal and crew and take off for the black!

My browncoat fits so well, it's become part of me.

Yeah, ain't the 'coats just about the shiniest bunch of fans anywhere? (Not to mention so damn pretty :) I've lurked on some other types of fan communities (Star Wars, lots of videogame forums, etc) and the most immediate difference I noticed when I jumped onboard around here was how gorram friendly everyone was. Especially considering how much of this is taking place online (where people often forego the niceties of civilized culture) I think this really speaks to the type of people Our Little Show has brought together.

I'm with everyone else on this: I'll be a browncoat until the doctors pull the plug on my life support. (And Buddha help them if they try it when I'm trying to watch Serenity 12: Wash has a Thing :)

Browncoats: the Amway of the sci-fi community ;p

Amen to that Serenityseeker!

When I think about what a browncoat really is & what it means, like others here I found I was a browncoat long before Joss even dreamed up the show.

I have never been so totally into a show that I wanted to be part of a community or felt the need to spread the word, attend conventions, collect all the merchandise, or post on a message board. Firefly & Serenity are different though. They resonate with something deep inside me in a way nothing else has done.

My wife knows the deal, when I go, I go in my brown coat. I'm hoping ol' Saint Peter won't mind the brown coat, replica Mal pistol, or Blue Sun tee too much.

I can't say I've always been a Browncoat but I can say that I was always meant to be one. The show kinda opened my eyes a bit on not taking in everything people (particuarly government) say as truth. But among Browncoats there is a level of respect that I don't see with any other group. Even seeing that comrodierie (pardon the spelling if that's wrong) makes you want to be a Browncoat if you aren't. And if you are a Browncoat you want to spread the news, not just to get another show but b/c it is so awesome you have to share it with everyone you know!

As for when I was offically hooked, I'd say after seeing the pilot and being in Serenity Valley. What they say is true, once you're on Serenity you can never really leave.

Can't say anything that hasn't already been said. A friend of mine found these series and fell head over heels with it, since he's a pilot himself. I dunno if he quoted anyone else, but his line when he spoke of Firefly was;

"Joss got it right what Lucas never understood. We don't care about the heroic all powerful CGI Jedi, we just want the stories of the little guys, the Han Solo men in broken little ships etching out what they can."

So I borrowed the series and only planned on watching one episode a day, I ended up watching each disk a day, commentary and all. I was hooked.

Despite being painfully brief, Firefly and it's sequel-ish movie are tops on my list. I've been recommending them to everyone, and I occasionally find myself humming The Hero of Canton at work. (which is funny, it's a town 2 miles from me.)

I may not have been here from the beginning, but I consider myself a browncoat. And plan on being one even after FOX starts hunting us all down to cover up their incredible mistake.

'till the day I die.

Although new to the board i was a browncoat from first watching the pilot last summer, the real one! Although from DVD and not on Fox, I was quickly hooked. Only joined up here in Feb but I felt like I came home. *hugs*
And as some of me fellow browncoats have noted, that's what draws us to the BDS and BDM. It's like our home, our lives, aka the real world - we eke out our existance in this topsy-turvy world, do the best we can for "ours" be it family, friends. We try to be real good, okay, maybe just good, or all right at least. But's that how life goes. And maybe that's why those of us that are 40's (I'm 43) relate to it so well. Our dreams we had in our 20's haven't become reality, but we're happy with has happened. We still have dreams, but maybe a little more realistic and grounded. The world isn't all rosy, you can and do get hurt, emotionally, physically, financially. The grand scheme of things, those darn pesky politicians, can turn our world upside with a piece of legislation. Sound like the alliance?

Sharing this bond here on this board, and any other BDS/BDM board we may particpate in, is a 'verse filled with support, understanding, compassion, humour, well, you get the picture.

Like many of you, I have been a fan of some really great shows and movies. I am an Angel and Buffy fan. I like sci-fi movies...and have never, ever, ever felt the need to seek out like minded perfect strangers to bond with. Yet here i am, bonded with the best people in the 'verse. Yet here I am, buying ff related tee's etc over the net. Yet here I am going to my first con on my own- no significant other, spouse, friend traveling with me (i won't really be alone 'cause once I get there i will be surrounded by my fellow browncoats)

Yet here I am at fireflyfans.net and feeling welcomed and at home.

i'm a browncoat for life, and I hope my friends, that we will all still be here, discussing this 'verse, the shiny new show and whatever else interests us, 20 years from now.

I know this post has been longwinded and also know that my fellow browncoats understand the need to sometimes express oneself to the fullest.

You know it gets exhausting always being on the losing side. The things I'm most drawn to seem to be dying from lack of interest by the 'verse at large. Had never heard of Firefly but Serenity got great reviews in Chicago and wanted to see it in the theater. Missed it. Waited for it to be on DVD - always out at the video store. Rented it and got giddy. Went to work still giddy and couldn't stop talking about it - discovered a browncoat sympathizer. Next day his set of DVDs were on my chair. Home to watch as many as possible. Dreamed about the show, the characters. Found this website. Bought my own copies.

This a familiar tale, oft' repeated. But it is a happy happy place here. And as a shy reader of other people's postings for the past month, I've really enjoyed other people's stories. So I worked up the courage to say hello.

I do think that if Firefly hadn't been axed so soon and if it wasn't such an underdog, it wouldn't be so special (not in anyway discounting how really excellent it is script-wise, cast-wise, etc.). I'm a sucker for lost causes. But for the first time ever - the cause isn't really lost. Because all you guys are here, too.

Thanks.

Wednesday, March 22, 2006 2:26 AM

Heh... I am a recently converted Browncoat and while I don't forsee myself dressing in costume or going to conventions, I find my love of the show comes from the images and ideas behind it, the idea of independence and freedom and fighting for what is right - not just in terms of true justice, but what is right for you and yours.

Firefly was a modern fairy tale without being cut in black and white... it was colored in shades of grey and brown and, if you study it hard enough, shows conflicts within humankind. Laugh if you want, because the gods know that overanalyzing television shows brings to mind the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons, but Joss really did tap into some overarching mytharcs of the human experience.

What does that mean? It means that I am a Browncoat now and probably will be forever because the story captured my imagination and made me think and wonder and question and dream.

When I found Serenity/Firefly last October, it was just what I was looking for at that point in my life. I just started university, and was having a difficult time adjusting, i broke up with my first ever girlfriend (only for a month though, but it was still a big deal), and I was having a hard time at home with my parents.

Firefly gave me something to look forward to every night after studying. It had the laughs, the friendship, the longing to be free, and the dedication of the people in it. Despite being a work of fiction, it feels more real than most "real" things in the world do. Firefly/Serenity has heart.

I was a HUGE Star Wars fan when i was younger, which lasted about 6 years of my life. Looking back on that, I know that I would choose Firefly & Serenity ANY DAY over anything else in the entertainment medium. If I were stranded on a desert island with nothing but Firefly and Serenity, I would be one happy fellow.

I will forever be a Browncoat, and I'm damn proud of it. I don't care what anyone says.

I'm kinda new around here, and haven't read many posts. You see, for a long time I participated in the Star Wars fandom (see my name). But that group of people in general have turned into some of the sourest and unpleasant people to discuss things with... that it was unbearable for me anymore. But the level of friendly discussion and general comradery present in the posts I've read on this site has quickly shown me how enjoyable and level-headed the FF fandom is. I shed a tear when reading this thread; seeing the friendship that a television show can bring. I think I've found a new home.

Hey, Adamwankenobi,

You certainly have found a new home... welcome to it!

You need a browncoat since you're new...

*hands Adamwankenobi a browncoat, that fits fine I hope*

We're glad you're here among us, make yourself to home and post often please we love conversation.

Don't forget to share the show and movie with the folks you care for, it draws them in and hopefully we can get a continuation and it also lets them enjoy the Firefly experience too.

My Fellow 'coats:

I have ever been and always will be a Browncoat. Joss gave it a name ('Browncoat') and some faces (our BDHs). As many others have already noted, the series gave voice to something primal that was an integral part of my emotional and intellectual nature. Love of family. A deep and abiding sense that Authority is frequently wrong, and that something needs to be addressed about that. A strong commitment to my fellow human beings and their right to live their lives in their own way ("Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"), and to fight against cultural, economic and governmental forces that act to curtail those rights. The weird and wonderful relationship that is a committed marriage (Wash and Zoe). The intrinsic value of following a chivalrous path in life (Mal and Book)...

Firefly captured those core values of mine, and then affirmed them in the most complete way I've ever seen in any entertainment product. The fact that everyone here senses that power too, at least to some degree, makes us a community of kindred souls, not just fans.

I'm new here. A browncoat seems to be a state of mind. I've only seen 4 episodes of Firefly, but so far I've seen enough to know that a browncoat does his own thing in his own time. A browncoat has a dislike of the government getting in his way.
I can't wait to see the other episodes of Firefly, and I have yet to see the movie.

This reminds me of the Signal and Firefly Talk podcasts... Early on they remarked that they would podcast until the movie was made. Then the movie got made and they said they's podcast until the sequal was made. etc. Personally, I hope they keep saying they'll continue podcasting for the next 25 years. In any event I'll die proudly as a Browncoat.

I've been a Browncoat since the very first episode I saw (the pilot). However, I was a little late to the party - as it was only last year (January 2005) that I saw it.

I went out and bought the DVDs the very next day.

I became aware of Firefly, after seeing the trailer for Serenity last summer, and then looking it up some more on the cortex.

Shortly after learning about Firefly, and watching a few episodes, I was forever hooked. I have seen each episode many times.

Subsequently, I have started watching Buffy and Angel, and am convinced that Joss is indeed a genius.

So, guess I became a browncoat early autumn 2005, and will forever stay that way...

Until the sudden but inevitable betrayal.

The remake with Tom Cruise as Jayne, Katie Holmes (or whoever it is that week) as Zoe, and the Scientologist reimagining that resurrects Book as Fat Johnny "Keep walkin' (like a ladies man), preacher" Travolta.

If you go to the Scientology site, it has a Church locator. It being computer related, I'm sure the boys and girls from the 48th at RAF Lakenheath could work up an interface with their targeting computers.

Other than that, I just have to echo Jayne, "I'm in."

Oh, jeez, not another one! Lord above, if anyone is as long-winded and convoluted as Zoid, I'm hangin' up my 'coat and movin' to Shortwindville.

Seriously, I've been Browncoated from minute 1 of episode 1. I remember the day in March-ish of 2003 when I was idly watching something I had taped that week. I was feeling too lazy to take the tape out of the VCR and decided out of curiousity to see what I had taped over. It turned out to be War Stories, right about the time Wash and Mal are being tortured. I FLEW up off the couch and looked around for someone to tell even though no one was home but me. I remember pointing at the TV and sputtering "LOOK!! LOOK!!" and scaring the dog. He seemed to be as happy as me, though, once I explained the situation. You have no idea how freaking HAPPY I was to have that little tiny piece of the 'verse. (Actually, all yous people probably do have an idea!) Anyway, I watched that damn tape many times before I heard that the DVD set was going to be released. Then I stopped until Christmas Day when I received the box set. I sat in the comfy recliner ALL DAY in my jammies and watched most of the set. I was never happier. (Is that sad?)

I am grateful I found this show, this site and that we got a movie. But I want more.

Crap. Now I'M the long-winded one! Zoid! I totally blame you!

Being a Browncoat has become an attitude, it may have started out as a fad, but as you can see it has grown!

Being a Browncoat, means so many things to so many people, but mostly if you call yourself a browncoat you probly have the same outlook as the crew of Firefly.

For me, being a Browncoat stands for freedom and the right to do what we want without big govt. It stands for doing whats right, even if you have to steal it. It stands for loyalty and love. It stands for never leaving someone behind. It means never having to say your sorry. It means spending alot of time in your bunk!

Peace~

Couldn't agree more. I have been a Browncoat even before I knew what one was and fell in love with Firefly the minute I first saw Serenity Part one. and even though I am only a recent addition to the noble ranks I will be a Browncoat till my last breath.

One of my close friends came to stay with me this week, she lives in PA and I'm in VT so its nice when she comes up. ANyway I have been telling her about Firefly for months now and finally she gets the chance to see my DVD's. We are up to Heart of Gold and when we finish the series I am playing Serenity for her. We may have another Browncoat in the making!

We have done the impossible and that makes us mighty!

I was a Browncoat from the first airing of "The Train Job", well before the term had even been coined and I'll die a Browncoat. Not because I'm a joiner, but because I've never had a television show touch me quite the way Firefly did.

Of course, I was "Touched by an Angel", but I showed the prosecutor where on the doll and now that angel is doing 10 years in Attica...

How long would one be a browncoat...good question. I think one needs to look at it from there own point of veiw. Personally, if the darn show did not have such unbeleivanble replay value...ie always something new seen, if you still laugh at the jokes, and if you are entertained everytime, will you ever stop being a browncoat? More importantly, I beleive being a browncoat is more than just being a fan of the show. The show, in its short run, created a since of longing for more that will never be fully realized at least by this poster. That hole in my soul, so to speak, is why I will always be a browncoat. If they had killed everybody off in Serenity, maybe I would be able to move on, however, since they did not, I will always keep my eyes on the horizon even if they do not make any future works until 2035, with Mal in a wheelchair hooked up to an IV.

Browncoat for life, not my fault, I blame the actors, writing/direction of Joss, the music, the lighting, the concept, and ironically FOX for this perdicament.

the best way to explain the fact that we are browncoats and that we will never change, is that we are a family here on this site! And tho we are from all across the world, and are all different in so many ways, becoming and being a browncoat means being a hero it means fighting the good fight, its about beliving in whats right and as long as we can talk about and watch firefly, then we have found Serenity! so remember "When you can't run anymore, you crawl, and when you can't do that... well, you know the rest"

Well, like with LOTR the biggest hype will die down after a while, but when you have something of such high quality that you really enjoy watching then I know this will always stay with me.

I still watch the old Star Wars films and the LOTR films, and will keep watching Firefly forever. I have now resulted to bying the DVD's for my friends birthdays to make sure the 'verse keeps expanding.

It also helps that I have a childhood friend who's last name is Niska (no kiddin').

Being a Browncoat is more than just being a fan of the show/BDM, if that makes sense.

I've watched Star Trek for longer than I can remember, and I've been a fan of shows since. But being a Browncoat means more to me than just being a fan - it's a way of life. This is a real community, I'm relatively new and some people have been here since the beginning and yet we're all in this together.

So to answer the question...I'll be a browncoat to the end, and intend to have a Chinese style funeral with people in white instead of black.

As a 31 *yikes!* year old newbie, I can honestly say that I hope to be a browncoat for as long as I can carry on with dignity under all circumstances.

On a slightly different note, was in a well known UK music/dvd store today and happened to see the box set of Firefly on sale. Burst out laughing when I saw that there's now a sticker on the front of the box advertising that it's
"FROM THE CREATOR OF SERENITY"!

No matter what Nathan, and the rest of our BDH's do; i think Firefly reaches out and grabs your substance with the depth of the 'verse and the abosolutely perfect click of characters that Joss put together.

Of course, I never got an *official* browncoat from FollowMal at any time. But I've been around a stretch, and saw every episode the night it aired. (Even if i did it record them and rushed back from the bars to watch each new episode!). And i let my loud mouth go off regularly around hereabouts.

Of course, life moves on. But im not letting my coat get dusty. I think Firefly was too cool for even FOX to kill. I'll be watching those same episodes for years and years.

ROLANDREYNOLDS

Tuesday, March 28, 2006 7:41 AM

Shortly after the hype of Serenity died down, after the adrenaline, elation, sorrow, and euphoria thinned out in my veins, I got back into the swing of 'normal' life. It was only the summer before, through blessed word of mouth, that Firefly was brought to me, and my friends and I sat and watched the DVDs religiously until we heard they were making a movie. That was easily one of the best year my life has ever seen, but the wave did dissipate, at least in character.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not as big of a fan as some people who seem to be able to talk about Firefly 24/7. Oddly enough, maybe, I kind of have a bit of admiration for those diehard Browncoats. I think maybe if I was surrounded by at least one other, Firefly might come up a bit more in my everyday life, but I'm getting that that's not a bad thing. Being a Browncoat isn't simply about being a fan.

A couple days ago, I broke out my copy of the DVDs once more. I hadn't watched them in about 6 months. I can't describe (and won't try, because I know you understand) the pure joy it was to find that I was still so moved by every moment in the episodes. Still laughing, still tearing up, still cheering. It was like coming home, opening the docking bay doors and hopping on the ship to go for a ride once more. Being a relatively new Browncoat, I have in brief moments worried that it had just been an above average phase in my life that would fade away. But now, after this, I realize that no matter how much time I spend living 'away' from it, I have Browncoat's blood in me. And really, I'm never away: The Browncoat's values, the creed of determination, loyalty, and fighting the good fight are with me everyday, even if I'm not thinking about Firefly.

I just wanted to voice my feelings of solidarity, and gratitude that this community exists for me to do so. I am the only Browncoat that I know of where I live, and I don't usually post in forums much. It's nice that this is here for when there's a real need for Firefly catharsis. Thank you. Xiexie so much ;)

Once you've been to Serenity, you never leave.

“When peace comes to mean the absence of conflict on the one hand, and when conflict with an unjust and racist political order is a moral imperative on the other, then it is not difficult to understand that the better class of human beings are, in fact, deeply committed to disturbing the peace and creating conflict.”

Never knew I was a Browncoat until 2 months ago when I discovered this wonderful 'Verse. So much I identify with, right or wrong.

I missed Firefly's first run on Fox, going through painful divorce Fall of 2002. The recent previews of Serenity on pay per view peaked my curiosity, started the movie then stopped it because I HAD to go back and learn the history of these characters. Long story short, I now own the DVD's, the movie, the novel, the comic.

Call me crazy, but it just all was familiar. Mal lost his faith at Serenity Valley. My divorce was my Serenity Valley- the Angels never came and God was and remains silent. I too have learned that waiting for "help from on high is a long wait for a train don't come". I totally get Mal's anger at God.

Prior to discovering Firefly/Serenity, I thought the new Galactica was pretty good. I was blown away how Firefly was awesome right off the bat and never looked back. Great stories, great characters, great emotion. How can you not get a little choked up watching "Out of Gas" or "The Message"?

Eh, enough rambling. I volunteered for the Independent's late, but I'm here for the duration. I love the series, love the movie, and the fan dedication the got the movie made. Thank you Joss Whedon and everyone involved making the 'Verse a reality!! A Browncoat until I die ('course dying ain't exactly plan A)!
