So when did you become a Firefly fan?
Well, I was a Joss fan. When I heard he was going to have a new show, I was pretty excitied. I think I really fell in love with the show after seeing The Train Job. When Mal suddenly pops into Inara's shuttle and says "Can you do my hair, too?" I just knew it. That was your trademark Joss Whedon wit.

What attracted you to the show?
The fact that it had Joss' name attached to it. I also think it was the writing. Nine characters, each with their own personality.

Who is your favourite character?
Have to say Mal, with River a close second.

Which is your favourite episode?
You'd think with only 14 to choose from, I could narrow it down. I'll just say Out of Gas.

Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
I dunno. I remember with the personality quiz on this site that I'm like 82% like Kaylee or something.

What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
I don't know. Maybe seeing more of the Firefly universe. Mal mentions in Serenity that there are 70 odd Earths. Would have been neat to see how the other planets turned out.

What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Hmm... Just more time with these characters, I guess. I really don't care what happens in the movie as long as it's justified. I trust Joss to make an amazing movie.

So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Uh... One? Well, maybe two. I sucked my sister into the show after I got the DVDs and we may have converted her boyfriend. I don't know if he's been impressed or not, but one thing for sure, he's getting dragged along to the movie.

Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
I like Simon and River's. The devotion Simon shows it just awesome. T.V. shows always show sqabbling siblings so it's a nice change to see a brother and sister getting along.

Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
People seem fasinacted by pairing Jayne and River in fics. It would have been neat to see the two trying to get along on the show.

And finally...

Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"There's no place I can be/ Since I found Serenity..."

"Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing." - Zoe

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
I saw The Train Job on its first airing, though I didn't get truly hooked until i got the DVD's.

What attracted you to the show?
Created by: Joss Whedon. 'Nuff said.

Who is your favourite character?
Do I have to choose? I love them all, but i think that the ones that I can relate to most are Mal, for his sometimes sarcastic sense of humour, and Simon, because of my....erm....trouble with girls. I was also interested in seeing what was up with that crazy River, and learning more about the King of Hawaiian shirts, Wash. I have this horrible feeling that if the show had continued that he might have died at some point. AHHHHH!!!!!

Which is your favourite episode?
Either Serenity, Jaynestown, OoG, Ariel, or OiS.

Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
As previously stated, some combo of Mal and Simon. Probably closer to Simon.

What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
Climactic story arc-age. BLUE HANDS! BLUE HANDS! REAVERS! BLUE HANDS!

What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Every main character survives, Mal and Inara divulge their feelings, Simon and Kaylee kiss, more learned about Book and River. The basics.

So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Currently a work in progress, but so far i have successfully converted anywhere from 5 to 12 people. I am cycling the disks through 4 people, and one of them has a brother who tuned in with 7 or 8 friends, one of whom was already a fan.

Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Simon and River, but if you are talking romantic relationships, then i say Simon and Kaylee, because they are just so durn cute together, with their wacky antics.

Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
Someone with Wash. He got the least attention character-development-wise, save for War Stories.

And finally...

Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me"


"When your miracle gets here, you just pound this button once." -Alan Tudyk, in a message to Joss with the packaged button, about the Firefly movie

1) This summer, thanks to Static and my friend Hugh. Dual coincidental conversion.

2) It's so well written and performed. It's a diamond in the rough. And it's sci-fi. And western. Throw in a few magic swords and an elf, and it would be a smorgasboard of every genre I love. And I think Joss could pull it off.

3) Favorite? River, I think. She needs that caring, nurturing, protecting thing, but at the same time, did you see that trick shot? Chaizus.

4) Objects in Space. Very artistic.

5) I identify with a few characters, really. I think Book is closest to me, though. But there's also some Zoe and Jayne in there too.

6) Perhaps some of Book's past, some more Blue Hands/What the Heck is Up With River, and Reavers. Maybe a sympathetic alliance officer who was acutally a good person that ended up working with Mal on something.

7) Simon actually getting his acto together and hooking it up with Kaylee. Because the on and off thing was irritating. And maybe a confession of love between the Cap'n and Inara.

8) At least 5.

9) Wash and Zoe. Go geeks.

10) Mal and Book, or some really kick-ass commando style infiltrate and rescue (in a more sneaky manner than in War Stories) with Book and Jayne. That way you'd get to see even more of the skills a preacher's not supposed to have. Like in Pale Rider.

11) "There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity."[/i}

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
About 6 months ago. Caught by accident while flipping channels, back when the Canadian Sci-fi channel was showing it.

What attracted you to the show?
Characterization, plain and simple. Who amongst our favourite 9 can we not identify with, eh?

Who is your favourite character?
River. Strong reminder of a brilliant and troubled lady I once was with and tried to help in bumbling fashion.... off topic. Next!

Which is your favourite episode?
OiS, Serenity, OoG.

Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Wash, w/o the strong marriage. Or Simon, w/o the trade skills. Okay, 67% Wash, 33% Simon.

What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
Ended right where it ought. "Yup, Here I am." Brilliant.

What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Inara does not give Mal a free thrust. Would kill the tension that drives the relationship.

So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Still workin' on it....

Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Jayne/River. Loads to work on in that one. Anything can happen.

Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
Zoe and anyone other than Wash or Mal.

And finally...

"Take me where I can not stand."
