Proud To Be A Browncoat

[Trek_Girl42]

This is why the fans, actors, producers, everyone to do with Firefly(and Whedon)verse is so awsome! Just goes to show how much the actors especially care about and believe in this show.

I hate West Hollywood.

But I'd a gone. Dressed all fancy, too.

Was reading this yesterday, incredible, it really does make you proud to be a browncoat.

I'm a fairly new Browncoat, but seriously THIS right here is why I love it so much. It's the love, the dedication, the spirit, the fight... It's beautiful.

And the thing is, as rare as it is for a fanbase to be this devoted, its unheard of for the actors to be so devoted to the show. It makes this grinch's heart grow two whole sizes

It does, the fans and those who made Firefly just seem like such wonderful people. I don't think any other show can boast this kind of passion and generosity from it's fans and those make it alike.

My friend was shocked at how much I love Firefly.

He's been a Whedonverse guy for a while, although he's never seen Firefly, he loves Buffy and (especially) Angel. I'm not very big on celebrities, in fact I'm kind of anti-celebrity, but I told him the one guy I would really like to meet is Joss.

Just so I could thank him for Firefly.

I agree- Joss is probably the person in the world I'd most like to meet, he just has such a great creative mind; I'd love to have a conversation with him.

Of course, my side would in all liklihood mostly consist of "uhhhhh.....".

Of course, if I have my chance to meet someone else. . . like I dunno. . . Morena or Summer. . . I'm not going to spit at the idea.

Okay, I'm in. Where does one sign up to be a browncoat?

Just got my boxed set for Christmas (Firefly) watched the Serenity DVD again, then the whole 14 eps and I am convinced that this is the best new sci fi since Stargate started up.

It shoud really start a trend of small scale sci fi series where characters rule.

I also really admire the fully conceptualized alt universe......

Very nice! Firefly is definitly one of the best sci-fi series ever made.


I introduced a friend to Serenity yesterday, the meeting went well.

Not sure where else I can put this stuff. Some general things about Firefly. The show continues the revolution in TV Sci Fi that started with Babylon 5 in that characters change, their actions have consequences, villians re-appear and have some ongoing content. Small, relevant details surface as clues or mysteries, then re-appear later. This keeps the viewer on his toes.

Being a big acoustic music fan (progressive and traditional folk/ bluegrass) I just love the music.

At first I thought the blending of old west and sci was very strange, until I understood the back story and began to notice the touches of modern elements mixed with the old west settings, like a Bar window that doesn't break since it's a force field.

I started thinking about how you would handle transportation and an economy in a newly terraformed planet: Horses make a lot more sense than lots of automobiles, when you have no roads and limited manufacturing to supply parts.

The place where this show really shines is its emphasis on the micro, day to day drama, relationships and conflicts. The tactical scope and human close-ups are just excellent......

Perhaps more later...

Hey all. Just wanted to put word out there that Firefly is on sale at Target for $20 this week.

*parties* I just bought a ..... third copy. (One for me, one for a friend whose nearest Target is 45 minutes away, and one for another friend who's been asking to borrow my copy. Figure she can have her own.)
