CANTER


I've worked out the perfect tactic of converting normal people to Browncoats.

(spoiler)

I invite them to my home and them force them to watch 12 hours of Firefly until they're brainwashed. :)

I did this to a fried of mine...and she immediately fell in love with Wash. She laughed at everything he did, and started quoting him at the office.

And then...last night I showed her the BDM.

I had to watch her crumple into tears when he died. I felt so bad! Even guilty.

And then I had to try and answer all the inevitable questions:
"Are there any more?"
"Why did they cancel the show?"
"They're doing a second movie, right?"
"But why not?"
"But it isn't fair!! It doesn't make sense!"

Welcome to being a Browncoat. I gave her this site's address. Hope she finds some comfort here.

Awww...
I think that you should've like stopped the movie right before he dies, and said "That's it! The movie's over!" And see if she'd believe it...Or maybe something less crazy-sounding....

Love keeps her in the air when she outta fall down, tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.

I cried when Wash died. Then again I also cried when Darth Maul died in The Phantom Menace (yes I actually paid money to go see that movie I'm ashamed). Still why did Wash have to die? In the extras Joss said it was because he wanted you to think that things could go wrong, well worse, he said it added to the "mood". Evil Joss!!! But good job, so far I've successfully recruited no one.

Mal-"Well, look at this. Appears we got here just in the nick of time! What does that make us?" Zoe-"Big Damn Heroes, Sir!"

We don't know if Wash has a twin brother or some such thing could happen. Or we may in for something new. I guess we just have to hold our breath and wait and see what Joss has in store for uS.

But it sounds like we have a new Browncoat to consider. Have your friend join us so we can say hello.

Soon, with enough brainwashing, we can have the whole world aboard Serenity...

A good thing about Firefly is a lot of people watch the show for the first time when they visit friends.

Very disapointed in you

I had to write an essay about the hardest thing in a story I ever had to read... and I did it on Wash. (I did it on the novel and visual guide.)

WASH WE LOVE YOU FOREVER <333

Yep, that's the only way I've been able to get anybody interested!
If they aren't a captive audience, and I can only say, "Go Netflix it," their eyes just glaze over, and they mutter some lame excuse.

That's the way that I got hooked. When one of my friends said that a bunch of people were watching this show called "Firefly" in the main lounge of my dorm, I told her wasn't really interested. Then she proceeded to talk me into/drag me down to watch it. I wound up seeing almost the entire series that day. I then went out and bought my own copy of the DVDs.
And made d@mn sure that I saw the BDM the night it came out.

So yes, I highly recommend the ambush tactic. It worked on me and I'm sure it'll work on other potential Browncoats.

Wash: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: Oh God, of God, we're all going to die?

Here is the man behind the makeup, in case you've never seen him.

Got hooked when my brother said he had found this cool movie with a great bad guy in it. Of course it was Serenity. That was 6 months and innumerable viewings ago. I hesitated to buy because I didn't want it to ruin the 'atmosphere' of the movie...Wadda mistake!!
Finally, bought the series a month ago. I have been a fan ever since and still just can't figure out why they canceled the series. Especially, considering the crap that is on. Stoopid decision by stoopid, short sighted fools, lacking in imagination. It had everything... Hot women, macho dudes, great storylines, great (quotable) dialog. All the characters had potential.
Whatever...

You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.


First off, nice story, Canter!

Next, I'd like to give a warm welcome to SmokeyE3377! Hope to see you around, find the thread to vote Firefly, and enjoy our corner of the 'verse!

the confusion a new convert feels when they find out there is no more is crazy.

at first it's hard to believe, then you vow to do something about it. then you settle into holding the line and wondering what kind of half crazed monkeys make these decisions!!

I agree! The reason it was cancelled is 'cause Fox executives are a bunch of big, dumb stupidheads. Who weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling. And are really, really dumb. And I really hope that other people can think of better insults than me....
But seriously, I don't think I will ever know why they actually cancelled it, other than because of their lack of brains.
Oh, and welcome to the site Smokey!!

Actually got to be a hero yesterday.

Lent my mate the first three discs (had to keep the forth back as hate to have none to watch.) after the first episode he was going on about how great it was (of cause) then yesterday he sent me a mail saying "bad news" I have finished firefly, i am gutted there arn't anymore!

I said what about the forth disc!! and after the disbelief subsided he almost cried with happiness!! so if anyone could tell me about a magical 5th disc I would also be very happy!!!

you'd think they would keep the best show ever on the air...with all the crap on these days.
i watched serenity first, wash dying was so much worse the second time, after i had watched firefly. Bought the box set and movie watch it again and pretend its not over, converted 2 people so far.
we'll all be waiting for the magical 5th disk.
