Firefly's 5 year anniversary

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

I just realized (thanks to someone else's post) that today is the 5th year anniversary of Firefly's premier. "The Train Job" was aired 5 years ago today, the first time an episode of Firefly was on TV.

I want to do something to celebrate or to at least acknowledge this anniversary! I'm not sure what to do though. At least I can shout out to a wonderful show that ended far too early and that I love like crazy.

Par-tay!!

I never saw it on TV - I first saw it at a friend's place in NZ when it came out on DVD. But gosh, doesn't time fly?

Cool - you had a friend introduce you!

I never saw it on TV either - I never heard of the show and only come to the fandom through the movie.

Heh, well, at least she and I mutually introduced each other to stuff. And at least she had good taste. She was 100% straight before she met me. ...I think it was a fair exchange! :-D

That's interesting you saw the movie first! I was so desperate for it to come out. I keep fantasising about mini-series and the like. Another movie. Anything live action! *sigh*

Oh wow!

Yeah, I saw the movie first and I loved it. I wanted to see and learn more about these people and was thrilled when I learned there was a series on DVD. Then I was less thrilled when I learned how fast it had been canceled.

But I still loved every episode.

Has it really been that long? And today's the day? Well, guess that explains why Mal's birthday is listed as September 20. *g*

Oh, cool - I didn't know he had an official birthday. Where is it listed?

It's on this screenshot in the BDM: http://caps.cruel-kindness.net/displayimage.php?album=100&pos=2149

However, the year has got to be wrong. No way, is Mal almost 50 years old! Another shot a couple seconds later has it as 2488, but that could just be the transition from one shot to the next. The popular theory is that 2468 should be transposed to 2486.

Oh, cool! Thanks for the screen shot.
