  • Jonny+AceJonny Ace June 2008

    SO i thought i'd start a thread for all those Browncoats out there. to help you all understand how insanely obsessive i am about our BDH:

    The most recent tattoo i got was the outline of a certain Firefly-class transport ship. so yeah, that's me how bout all of you?

  • MikesterMikester June 2008

    Jeebus, a Serenity tattoo? That is hardcore. I'm currently nearing the end of possibly the slowest Firefly viewing ever. I introduced a friend to the show ages ago and we've made our way through a few episodes every time I've seen her since, but we only catch up once every couple of months. It takes a serious amount of willpower to avoid saying to hell with it and finishing the series off myself! I can't even remember how it ends.*

    * (Please don't kill me. I'm still a real fan, okay?)

  • RazzRazz June 2008

    I marathoned the show in two or three days because I had just bought the Serenity DVD at a discounted price somewhere, and I kind of just... fell off the map while there was still show left to see. My girlfriend got mad about it because 1) I had bothered her for about a month to watch it with me, and she kept saying yes (but never made enough time for one episode) and 2) because I pulled a Gollum.

    Ah... so worth it.

  • FerrosFerros June 2008

    Yeah, i bought the series box set and knocked it over in two days. Then i spent the next 6 months forcing everyone i knew to watch it, most them of watched it all in one night or over a weekend once they got started.

    (Please don't kill me. I'm still a real fan, okay?)


    i won't kill you at all, i think it's awesome to get someone else into the show, and if you forgot how it ended it'll be shiny all over again for you. in a way i envy that. i pulled an all nighter to watch the whole series. with cigarette and bathroom breaks i think i did it in 18 or 20 hrs. something like that.

  • 15 Step and I marathoned the series together over a weekend. Of course, it was during our MEGA-SUMMER-OF-WHEDON! Where I got her caught up on the last 4 seasons of Buffy and all 5 seasons of Angel. Good times man. As for the Firefly tattoo, is it the image of the ship that shows after the episodes? Because I have wanted that tattoo FOREVER! I already have my Buffy and Angel related tattoos, so I really need to round out the collection...though maybe I should wait for Dollhouse.

  • jacob666jacob666 June 2008

    cheers to the serenity tattoo! my favorite part of the firefly dvd is the commentary on "war stories"

    so choice!!!

  • RazzRazz June 2008

    aye!

  • mSeligamSeliga June 2008

    The first time I saw it, I borrowed the DVDs from my uncle but didnt finish. I completely forgot about for a bit, then saw it on Hulu. God that show rocks. I got my mom into BSG(to the point where she can answer trivia from out local comic shop) but she isn't into Firefly. One out of two aint bad.

  • FerrosFerros June 2008

    Is it bad form to think Firefly is better than BSG even though it was cancelled years ago?

  • 15step15step June 2008

    Every day I think about getting a Serenity tattoo. Every day.

  • jacob666jacob666 June 2008

    i once dated a girl who's mother was a devoted browncoat, i think i like the mom more than the girl.

    Right there with you on both fronts! So, apparently the woman who played Mrs. Reynolds is in some new show called Mad Men.

  • 15step15step June 2008

    Mad Men's first season just ended and I still can't bring myself to watch it because I'm still mad at AMC for getting rid of Hustle. I did watch Breaking Bad, though.
    Apparently it's the savior of TV. Christina Hendricks looks sexy as hell in '60's clothing.

    If you don't mind sharing! I'm curious, I've never seen Buffy or Angel-themed tattoos. It sounds impressively geekish :)

  • FerrosFerros June 2008

    War stories was my fave episode, but the ones with Saffron were also excellent and fun to watch.

  • Jonny+AceJonny Ace June 2008

    i will post a pic ASAP, but i'm an ass and lost the cord that connects my camera w/my comp. but i'll fig it out.

    They look great! Subtle enough that anyone who didn't know what they were looking at wouldn't even notice the geek homage. That's like stealth-geekery or something.

    I second (or is it third by now) the Grrr Arrrgh! Battle cry!

  • jacob666jacob666 June 2008

    "we aim to misbehave!" would be a pretty bodacious cry of battle.

    i've been thinking of getting a firefly tattoo for some time now and i have about half of it cemented in my mind but i can't think of a graphic (totally the wrong word) other than the chinese symbol painted onto serenity. i'm not really a chinese symbol kind of guy (if you are, that's great) so i'm at a loss.

    you could get the outline of the ship. or one of those cute Fruity Oaty Bar commercial girls.

  • MelkorMelkor June 2008

    I have a T-shirt with the three oaty-bar girls on the front, and the "not mandatory" squid on the back. You have no idea how many times I've had to attempt to explain it, or should I say have failed explaining it.

  • ArcysArcys June 2008

    I must say that I've never seen Firefly before.

    So, just watching the first episode... I must say I'm intrigued.

    It's confusing for the first few episodes because it doesn't really bother to explain itself, but once you get into it it's impossible to get out.

    So, you're saying you haven't been working?

  • 15step15step June 2008

    I watched most of it, even though I own the dvds. I find this happens every time they marathon:
    Me: "Oooh! Firefly's on! Well, I could just watch it later...Oh, Objects in Space?! SWEET."
    And then hours of my life I could have spent being productive are given to Joss Whedon once again. Oh, who am I kidding, it's totally worth it.

    First you need to upload the picture to a site like photobucket or imageshack (I would suggest imageshack personally)
    After uploading it, the site you uploaded it to will give you a few URLs that you can paste inside of the little box that pops up when you hit the forum's image tab. Make sure your post is formatted as html, and the picture should show up in it.
