There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


I don't know about the rest of you, but I am a also a huge fan of Veronica Mars. Joss loves it too, and he not only wrote a review of the first season DVDs for Entertainment Weekly, he even guested on episode six of season two.

Michael Muhney, who plays the sheriff we love to hate, attended last month's Browncoat Backup Bash, which was organized by fans after cancelation of the official Flanvention by Booster Events. Mike was there because he had contracted with BE for another charity event. He had not seen Firefly at that point, although he had seen Serenity. Thanks to the generosity of a flan he has now seen Firefly and the Done the Impossible documentary. This morning he reported on his reaction on his LiveJournal page, Rack of Lamb - http://community.livejournal.com/rack_of_lamb/196896.html.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Here is Michael Muhney's blog for those who can't access it (he asked that we post it on all the sites since he can't):

Calling all Browncoats...


If I knew how to post over at Whedonesque and other critical sites, I would. Therefore, I'll kindly ask that this gets posted on appropriate sites by someone who knows how to do it.

Thanks to the fascinating evening I had not long ago with a gaggle of Browncoats, I was talked into watching the Firefly series. I had already seen Serenity and figured I would just see more of the same with the series. I couldn't have been more wrong. The series captivated my attention, emotion, and imagination on an epic scale. I actually got to know the characters, Joss, and Tim very well through watching the series. I must proudly confess, I am now a Browncoat.

A gentleman that I met the evening of the Browncoat Backup Bash named Ray H. (I'll keep his last name private in case he's a secret agent of some sort) sent me the Firefly series, the behind-the-scenes "making of" fan DVD, and the soundtrack. I couldn't possibly thank him enough. I've just finished the last episode only 20 minutes ago and I'm experiencing a myriad of emotions, but sadness would be at the forefront because I no longer have more new episodes to look forward to. I just hate how the general public or the flawed Neilsen ratings system can be the achilles heel in such a brilliant series like this one. There is a greater part of the modern world that doesn't know what it's missing by Firefly.

I could go on and on about Joss and Tim, but I think my favorite thing about their writing is the inherently flawed characters that drive this show. I love that there is so much weakness, waffling, and hesitation in each one of them. I completely identify with those characters and I am now wishing I had a relationship with Joss because I would seriously invest the next five to ten years of my life in the next show of his. If I knew the man, I would certainly tell him so. Who knows what the future holds? But, if destiny lands me on one of his next creations, I'll be in a literal actor's heaven. I wish more showrunners could take a page out of Joss' book and really work the art of writing a true character-driven show. Look up "character-driven" in the dictionary and there's a picture of wide-eyed Joss giving everyone the finger.

I was very intrigued how so many intelligent, articulate, snarky, and downright funny people could love a show so much. It was actually meeting the people who adore the show that drove me to find out just why they are so passionate about it. I have watched the series. I now know. Enough said.

I am completely honored to be called an honorary BDH. Thanks to Ray and all the other Browncoats for showing me something I needed to see.

Yours,
Michael Muhney (a.k.a. future regular on Joss' next show)

I hope he'll soon join us on some of the forums, perhaps Whedonesque.

I'd not really gotten into Veronica Mars.. now I have to admit I'm going to have to go back and check it out.

My Netflix queue is growing.

but...but...he's such a jerk on veronica mars

I love that show too. It's written so very well. Best show on tv right now IMO. Great to see one of the actors has come over to our side.

Entirely pointy.


I joined Netflix just to check out Veronica Mars. After a few episodes, I bought the DVD's.
It is the best show on TV.

His character is a jerk, but my son met him at last year's ComicCon and says he's a great guy, and that's also the word from those who met him at the Backup Bash.
