Does that make your team Browncoat Ducks?

Well, we have a lot of Beavers, too.

My condolences.

Here's a question. I see many posts online from people saying fans have to keep faith a Firefly type project will reappear again. Is that a requirement as a fan, or is that what defines the term Browncoat?

I'd say I don't see how faith and Firefly go together, but I suppose that's what the show was about.

Not big on faith, myself, of any kind, so I don't see it being necessary. Mind you, I've never called myself a browncoat, so maybe it *is* a good definition.

So, did anyone see the HD episode yet? I'm :ahem: acquiring it, though not having an HD TV, nor, it would seem, a PC that's fast enough to show the thing anyway (have I reached *that* point of the PC cycle already?), I doubt that I'll get a chance to watch it for a long while.

I identify as a Browncoat and I have no faith that the verse will continue except in comics.

And books, Tamara. Possibly badly written books. (If they let me do one).

I suppose I'm just having an identity crisis, as I'd group myself in as a Browncoat as, well, I've done the socialising bit. But I don't think there will be another movie (uhm, usually). But it sometimes feels like I'm a bad fan for sayin' it.

I consider myself a Browncoat and would be first in line for any new movie or TV show continuing the 'Verse but I don't see either as very likely.

I'd say it's not so much faith that there WILL be another FF/S 'verse project, but the hope of one.

But that's not right either, because even a passive fan can hope for more.

I'd say that a Browncoat is an active fan, the minimum being someone who takes even the small initiative to talk online, or IRL, about FF/S.

I put together an old page defining "browncoat", and it seems kinda outdated now that we've done fighting for the movie and won that battle.

I'm an old Browncoat, a retired veteran. I'm letting the new recruits do their thing. More power to them, but I'm just tired.

That's a good point, Juliebird. Maybe 'keep the faith' is more 'don't go away' in translation?

that, and the philosophy of a bunch of other Fireflyisms.

"Keep flying" being a big, all-encompassing one that really captures the spirit. The fact that we're still here talking about it, that's flying.
