shit. This is why I'm not a politician. I'm an idea man. Not so good at the "Julie the Cruise Director" thing. I welcome all help. First, we need a plan. (Yes, sometimes I overthink things).

OK. Let's see.
1) Must see if they can be done with "Watch Party"
Check! They both can!
2) Must do a test run to see how many can "join the party"
3) See if in a viewing, is everyone, indeed viewing at the same time (give or take a few seconds)
3a) Can someone join in late? Will they be where we are? Or starting from the beginning?
4) Can we chat with headsets? Would that be a good thing? Or would that ruin the whole notion of a "Watch n Post"
5) We all need to share gamertag's (it seems we don't have to actually be xbox "friends". We can simply enter a gamertag).
6) Pick a designated time to do a test
7) Pick a designated time to do the actual event
7a) Firefly or Serenity? I lean towards the first event being the movie. I think it will be a lot easier to get a good group together once, with multiple timezones and all, than 14 times.
8) PrOfIt!!

eta: I put a post in Press. I hope that is the right place for this type of thing. Finally finding some assertive back bone, I made an executive decision to pick the movie. Despite my crazy list above, I think a due date (rather watch date) would be prudent. Nothing gets action like a deadline. I propose Dec 26th. In an effort to avoid the malls.

ION - did we know there was a Firefly wiki? [link]

Ah, I misapprehended your purpose in being here.... (sorry, I do so love that line from Badger). In any case, I won't be of any help in planning or participating since I don't have Xbox. I had been envisioning the old-fashioned, pop-in-the-DVD and do a watch-and-post type of thing, which isn't what you're talking about.

Yeah, I'm planning on popping in my dvd. I don't have Xbox, and even if I did (I have Wii) I don't have the bandwidth to stream video. I don't think it has to be complicated, does it?

We certainly could do it that way. Just thinking of new toys and technologies. It might also afford the ability to chat while watching. Unsure. I haven't done a watching party. And, on the outside chance, maybe some folks don't own the dvd.

I have the dvd, but no Xbox. I'll join the party in any way I can, if I can.

ETA: I suppose that means, if y'all hold your Watch Party in Xbox, and I am available at the time, I may watch on my own, and post my comments here.

I'd be with WindSparrow.

I've got the dvd, but no Xbox.

I guess it could be like being at a party where more than one conversation is happening.

So we would have a few doing the x-box thing, and a few doing the dvd thing. That's cool.

I think this is a nifty idea. I'll volunteer to test any or all of the things that need to be tested.

I'm also happy to sit on my couch with my laptop and post in here while watching on Netflixbox.

Raq's gonna be our go-between!
