So when did you become a Firefly fan?
September this year. I though Sci-fi/fantasy was dead. Bought the DvDs to check it out. I've not regretted it since. :)

The characters and their back stories. The humour. The 'you are here' quality of the show.
Who is your favourite character?
Mal.
Which is your favourite episode?
Out of Gas.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Mal.

Discovering a little more about River.

Discovering a little more about River and the truth about Shepherd Book.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
None. *Disappointed* Although, I've sorta grabbed the attention of one of my friends. She wants to 'learn everything about this new tv show' I'm watching. (We kinda have a similar taste in tv shows and hobbies.)

River and Simon.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Wash and Jayne.

After the end of Angel, when I needed more Jossverse
What attracted you to the show?
Snark withdrawal
Who is your favourite character?
Simon
Which is your favourite episode?
Ariel
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Probably Wash, even though I can't even drive a car, much less do a Crazy Ivan
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
More "future history"--and more times when Mal DIDN'T totally get his ass kicked
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Something that's satisfying as a stand-alone but also works if the trilogy gets completed. Not an easy thing to do, I know, I'm a fic writer.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Bwahaha! I have GET! An entire CELL of English Browncoats can be traced to me.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
The ones actually shown: Zoe/Wash. When I write fics, I'm kind of a Mal/Simon shipper.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Kaylee and Zoe.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
Something about that song just BOTHERS me. So sue me.
No touching release dates!

Psi-ChickRiver queried:
So when did you become a Firefly fan?
First five minutes of F*x broadcast of TTJ.
Quote:
JAYNE
(to Mal)
Your move.
Camera ARMS UP to see the game on the table is Chinese Checkers. Mal moves.
ZOE
That's a bold move.
MAL
I live on the edge.
Zoe makes a much better move.
JAYNE
(to Mal)
Nice work, dumbass.
MAL
I've given some thought to moving
off the edge, it's not an ideal
location... might get a place in
the middle...
What attracted you to the show?
It had a character named 'Kaylee'; my wife's name is Kayley. Saw it had Alan Tudyk in it; loved his work in "28 Days" (stole the Sandra Bullock-based show) and "A Knight's Tale".
Who is your favourite character?
Mal.
Which is your favourite episode?
Serenity, pts. 1 & 2, OOG, and OIS; can't choose between them; they are quintessentially what Firefly is all about, IMO.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Book, definitely. Especially the self-loathing and -flagellation for past sins.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
I think the first season was complete. Second season: finding out what Book was all about, River coming to her senses (just like we'll see in the BDM).
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
See previous answer.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
5
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Wash and Zoe. It's the most realistic depiction of married life I've ever seen on TV. Okay, except for the frequency and gusto of the sex after seven years of marriage. Still, a guy can dream, right?
Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
River, Mal and Book. I think that combination will be a real problem for the Alliance/BlueSun hegemony as the story continues in movie format (Inara and the Guild will provide key resources as well)...
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"Burn the land and boil the sea..." Destructive capability of that nature, able to boil a sea, would be dreadful and awe-inspiring. Told from the artist's viewpoint, this must have happened to Mal. I suspect his homeworld of Shadow had the artificial gravity generators turned off, and got explosively outgassed. Exposed to zero pressure, the blood in your body would 'boil' out of your skin; same thing with a moon artificially boosted to Earth-normal grav (1 G), then instantaneously reverted to 1/16th G. The atmo would explode away from the planet as the gravity holding the 'column' of gas to the planet's surface suddenly vanished.
Nice thread, Psych...
Respectfully,
zoid

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
From the first moments of "The Train Job" when it aired on TV.
What attracted you to the show?
Fan of Buffy and Angel. Figured I'd give Joss Whedon a chance.
Who is your favourite character?
Kaylee. No wait, Zoe. No wait, Jayne. No, it's definately Wash. Actually...
Which is your favourite episode?
Out of Gas
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Kaylee
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
That we would have learned more about Inara's life before she came to Serenity.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
I frankly would be happy watching the characters sit around and have a picnic for 2 hours. I just want to see them!
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
My husband and I working as a team-- probably about 10 or 12.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Wash/ Zoe
Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
Jayne and Kaylee are always funny together.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity...

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
About this time last year... Caught it in the middle of the season. So immediately stopped then waited for the DVD release to watch it in it's glory:)
What attracted you to the show?
The silence in space, and the fact that it was "Joss Whedons: FIREFLY!!!!"....Oh and the fact that Tim Minear was on board from Angel. Top Writer!!!!
Who is your favourite character?
Jayne.
Which is your favourite episode?
Objects in Space.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Mal - but I'm not really like any of them, which is maybe why I love it so :)
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
I'd have liked a really strong establishing thread where the Alliance are really bearing down on our heroes! For several episodes. In fact maybe a seven or eight epsiode ark.
I'd have loved the sense of them feeling like they were being constantly chased and hunted, without any relent.... To the point of nearly being beaten down, loyalties tried, realtionships frayed etc....Maybe even the crew having to seperate for a stint, just to play with our emotions. Y'know.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Hmm a little of what I just mentioned, but no resolution to Book, River or Inara - remember she has some questions too?
....Ultimately - Jayne fall for Kaylee, Kaylee let him down because Simon finally comes to his senses, and Jayne develop emotionally. Then take Jayne's darkness, born out of rejection, and further the SImon/River confrontation, to the point where Mal and Jayne develop real hatred for one another, not this payful thing they have going now, but a real tearing of loyalties and ethics so that Mal's nobility is brought into question, and the war and it's failure are resurfaced to play on everyones minds.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Two friends who I also converted to Buffy and Angel, and also my Mum and Dad! My dad being the real achievement as he hates even Star Wars!!! So yeah I think I did quite well.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Jayne and Kaylee. Although upon repeated viewing I've noticed a great deal of touchy feely going on with Kaylee and Inara...... I'd be up for more of that..... Er hmmm
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Jayne and Kaylee. Book and Mal
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
Hmm. Not particularly into that song. It works for the show but I prefer Jayne's song.
However "Take me out to the black...." s'ok
Cool thread :)

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
December '03. Had to wait for the DVDs to come out, since I was never home when the show was actually ON...
What attracted you to the show?
A number of things. I'm big on the whole action/adventure thing, and I found the combination of sci fi and westerns highly entertaining. Also, Joss Whedon is my hero.
Who is your favourite character?
Wash. I like the funny guys.
Which is your favourite episode?
Toss up between Ariel, War Stories, and The Message.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Hmmm... tough call. Probably a combination of Wash and Zoe.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
I'll get back to you on that one...
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Really looking forward to seeing where the story with the Tam siblings is going.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
*Counts* 1, 2, 3... 4 directly. They in turn have converted others, who in turn have converted others, and so on and so forth. I think that one day, the world will be populated entirely by Browncoats.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Simon and River.
Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
Kaylee and Wash.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line from "The Ballad of Serenity?"
It's been said before, but "You can't take the sky from me." It's just... perfect.
“I loath bus stations. Terrible places. Full of lost luggage and lost souls.”

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
About five months ago, the day I opened the boxset. (To be precise, a fan a few minutes in and an obsessive fanatic a couple of episodes later.)
What attracted you to the show?
Two words: Joss Whedon.
Who is your favourite character?
Kaylee. Although if my head ruled my heart, I hope I'd say Mal. (Mal is a brilliant character. Kaylee is un-unlikeable.)
Which is your favourite episode?
Serenity. But for the sole reason that it's twice the length of the others.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Simon. Mostly his talent for alienatin' folk.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
Jayne accepting River and Simon (I don't think he has yet). Blue Sun to seem creepier and weirder. A brilliant episode in which Badger and YSB cross each other. Preferably no musical episode in season one.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Rivery goodness. But what I hope will happen is affected by the spoilers I've read. 
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Only four! Working on another three currently. Plus I donated some DVDs to my library, so maybe they've performed some indirect conversions. (I should check that, but, Data Protection Act and all that...)
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Mal and... er... Heck knows. Can't answer this question, so many stand out.
Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
Book and Jayne. I'm convinced Joss was building up to Book 'n Jayne's Excellent Adventure somewhere down the line.
Which is your favourite line from "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity". (If the show is all about "we have a boat, wheeee, look, we can go places!" then the line should be "no place I can't be". It isn't.)
