I'm looking for two things. One, a browncoat. No, not a fan. A coat. That I can wear. And purchase for less than $1200 (http://www.fireflycostumes.com/costumes/browncoat/).
Two, a large (as large as possible, preferably 1920 pixels wide) picture that was used as a poster/wallpaper for the movie Serenity. IIRC based off of the screengrab below; I just need a higher-resolution source. :)

I wouldn't mind finding a good 'Coat as well, been on the lookout for a while now.

I would pay $1200 for Joss Whedon to tell me, in person, who the hell Book really was. Wondering that is driving me bat**** insane.

He was an ANDROID!!
Edit: Okay, who's the wise-guy that turned off spoiler tags?
-
He was a former operative. There, happy?

That would be too easy to explain I'm afraid, it might be something shocking, possibly he headed the Miranda project?

On Book.
Read the novelisation of Serenity and you get a very, very big clue in the chapter where the Alliance attacks Haven. I'd find the book and quote the passage, but I gotta go to work.

He was the pope. On walkabout.

Next time there's a brown coat movie screening in the city I was thinking about going along and checking it out. :)

"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" :lol:

Don't get it mixed up with a dirty mac screening, then.

Found one of the things I was looking for; the full HD trailer for Serenity had the shot. A little Photoshopping, and here you have it:

Got it, but I haven't read it yet. I've got a theory that he was actually the Alliance commander in charge of the fighting at Serenity valley. He was decorated as a hero, hence his VIP treatment when he got shot, but his experiences there changed him considerably so he left to enter a monestary... and ultimately the priesthood.

The Browncoat's commander and the Alliance's commander on the same ship? It's the original odd-couple!

I don't see no browncoats there.

Speaking of browncoats, does anyone know if there's one on sale similar to the one the Doctor uses in Doctor Who?:

Go into any suit shop and you can find one of those coats.

Meh, my old waxcoat looks quite like it, if you'd tear of the shoulder flap, cut some holes in place of the push buttons, and kind of rough it up (more then I've done with normal use already). Cost about 90 quid in a little Scottish town called Glencoe, but coats like it are avaiable from 10 quid upwards in just about any outdoor/farmers store in the UK. (Good ones are a whole different story altogether, but if you're going to rough it up, you want something cheap.)

I just don't want to spend a lot of money ;)

Back to Firefly... Cotton, not leather, but a decent price ($60) (http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=244509). Not a Firefly replica though, just a similar style of coat (duster, actually).
For a more genuine replica, however: http://www.abbyshot.com/products/ps-firefly-browncoat.php - only $400-500 USD. :eek:

When my Wife (Girlfriend at the time) and I went to see "Revenge Of The Sith" in theaters, there was a guy behind us in line dressed with a Sith dark robe and hood, and he looked alot like Mal from Firefly. I told him this, and he said that his Girlfriend had introduced him to Firefly by showing him the pilot on DVD, less than a week prior. She'd told him that Mal was alot more hansome than he was. Later that year when "Serenity" hit theaters, I was joking with my Wife (again, Fiance at the time) that we could end up running into the same guy, now a total "Firefly" nut, dressed to the nines as Mal... didn't though. Shame.

I SOOO wanted a Darth Vader or Stormtrooper costume for LotR. :D

You'll still get your chance. Dress up like Darth Vader and hang around the front entrance of the cinema when the next Trek is to premiere, wearing a big sign that says "I hate trekkies". Y'know, Die-Hard 3 style.
I guarantee you nobody'd have the brass to jump you.

They're trekkies - they'd just shake their tricorders and possibly pens (from the top pocket of their immaculately pressed white shirts) at you. After all, there's no toy weapon that can beat a lightsaber in a square go.

I dunno about the sign (that'd be sort of self-abuse TBH), but the opportunity is brilliant. :)
