So when did you become a Firefly fan?
I'm a result of a conversion party. Many of the people there didn't like Firefly because they expected Buffy/Angel type stuff(wow, just like Fox!) but I fell in love. That was in... May, I think? Maybe earlier. I'm pretty new to it.
What attracted you to the show?
I'm not even sure... since I saw it at a conversion party, I just thought it'd be a fun diversion on a Saturday. I still don't quite know what attracts me to the show... there's just so many elements of it that I like.
Who is your favourite character?
Hmm... I'd say it's a cross between Jayne and Kaylee.
Which is your favourite episode?
Another tough one... I'd say either Out Of Gas or Our Dear Mrs. Reynolds.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Definitely Kaylee. I look kind of like her, I'm a tomboy, and people think I'm a saint of purity upon meeting me, then I wind up saying something or another that shocks them. 
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
More depth into Simon and Kaylee's relationship, why Book is tied with the Alliance, and of course, more development with River. Oh, and more Reaver stuff.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
I hope it will answer some of the series fans' unanswered questions.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
A few. Not many yet, because I admittedly don't own the box set yet(I'm borrowing from a friend right now, and I've asked for it for Christmas). Some of my fellow Browncoats and I are planning on holding a conversion party sometime in January for some of our friends.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Hmm... Wash and Zoe. It reminds me of my boyfriend and I.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Hard to say... maybe Inara and Mal, just because of their ovbious romantic blundering.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"Burn the land, boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me..."

Greetings&Felecitations:
So when did you become a Firefly fan?
The first moment I heard about the show.
And that Joss was involved with it.
What attracted you to the show?
It had all the right elements, a original type StarTrek scifi meets western and Joss' name on it.
Who is your favourite character?
Hard to say, I like Inara and River they both have so many possibilities as characters and are pretty too! Or Serenity herself.
Which is your favourite episode?
The Pilot Serenity/Ariel/Trash/Objects In Space
with Serenity then Objects
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Hm, tough one, I fix things like Kaylee does, but bumble like Simon alot and am alot like River w/o her brillance.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
A bit more on the 'verse&it's history, Wash's past, where River's character was going and more on Inara.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
More of the last and maybe a tie in with the Independent's remnants and an appearance by Juliette Landau. :-) More of Mal & Inara.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
A few with more possibilities in the future.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Tough one. Crew & Serenity, Mal&Inara, River&crew, Simon&Kaylee.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
I liked the three romantic relationships in the series, each was unique and yet related and well done. But co-operation? River. Anyone she was with followed by Inara and Book. They were a fascinating sub plot.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"Take me out into the black/Tell my Ma I ain't comin back, You can't take the sky from me I'm still free!" I've been there and had that happen and it's true.
"Once you've been in Serenity, how can you ever leave?" Zoe to Simon.

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
Two of my friend's and fellow filmmakers had built sets years ago for a failed sci-fi series called Star Runners. The ship sets were going to be used in the episode Bushwacked, so I tuned in to see how these "Alien" sytle sets looked ten years later. One episode got me curious, and later, when the box set came out, I bought it, and have been hooked ever since.
What attracted you to the show?
Joss (great writer), the cast and characters, and the non-Trek style premise.
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 (Ideals and world view) Wash (Love for wife)
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
That we'd learn more about River, Book, and why Inara was leaving.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
See answer above!
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
At least 5 hardcore Browncoats, and at least that many that are fans.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Mal and Inara.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
I'm still madly in love with my wife of 20+ years, so I always liked to see those "real" private moments between Zoe and Wash.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"You can't take the sky from me."
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Funny (or at least 'off-beat') versions, anyone?
So when did you become a Firefly fan?
When the blessed child, Joss Whedon was born, on 23 June 1964 (he's a Cancer like me!). I've been an avid fan ever since.
What attracted you to the show?
As I was celebrating His 38th birthday, my news spider came across a mention of Joss' Firefly. The attraction was built-in.
Who is your favourite character?
Wash, 'cause he's so much like Joss.
Which is your favourite episode?
(writer) (episode 1.01 "Train Job, The") (writer) (episode 1.03 "Our Mrs. Reynolds") (writer) (episode 1.10 "Objects in Space") (writer) (episode 1.11 "Serenity: Part 1") (writer) (episode 1.12 "Serenity: Part 2") (writer) (episode 1.15 "Message, The")
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
I like them all because, how could I not? But I'd say I'm definitely most like whichever one Joss likes the best.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
Joss cameo as leader of the Browncoat Underground.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Somewhere around Reel 200 Dialog 2, the theatre management announces that the Firefly sequel has just come out, and will be playing at the conclusion of Serenity. This way I'll never have to leave the theatre, and can bask in Joss-y goodness, forever and ever, amen.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
I have tried converting people to brown coats, but they squirm too much when you try to sew on the buttons.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Joss and Tim.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Joss and Alan Tudyk. What a couple of characters!
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"Music and Lyrics by Joss Whedon" I love that line! It has a lot of deep meaning for me personally.
Jus' Jossin',
zoid
P.S.
I'd never heard of Joss Whedon before Firefly. I still don't care for Buffy or Angel. I don't read comics. Firefly is Joss Whedon maturing as a storyteller, right before your very eyes, and appealing to an audience of 40-year olds for the first time...

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
My friend lent me the DVDs a while ago and I have been hooked ever since.
What attracted you to the show?
He asked for his DVDs back, so I thought I'd better watch them and after the first five minutes of Serenity I was desparate to know what happened.
Who is your favourite character?
Wash
Which is your favourite episode?
War Stories
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Wash. (It's the hawaiian shirts and the dinosaurs, not the bad moustache)
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled? I would have liked to have seen Kaylee and Simon get together, but let Inara and Mal stew for a while.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
I hopew we'll learn more about Book's past.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Five! And counting!
Which is your favourite relationship on the show? Mal and Jayne. They're a great double act.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more? Zoe and Kaylee, they should have had more time on screen together because they seem distant.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
Take me out into the black, tell them I ain't comin' back
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
When Mal kicked Crow through the port engine in "Train Job".
What attracted you to the show?
I am a sci fi fan, and I love Joss. How could I not be attracted to the show? 
Who is your favourite character?
Mal. He is the captain and he would do anything for his crew. He is the glue that holds them together.
Which is your favourite episode?
Out of Gas. We get to see how everyone came to be on Serenity and get a little back story. The music score for this episode will get you all choked up.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Definitely Mal.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
Not much really. I would not have wanted any deep secrets exposed or anything of that nature. Perhaps some more clues on Book's past. Perhaps some more tension between Mal & Inara.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
I hope we learn a bit about Book and why he is now off of Serenity. I would like some indication of what it was that drove Inara out to the rim. I want to see Mal & Inara confess their feelings for one another.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
So far, ten. I am still working on converting more.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
I liked the friendship that had started to develop between Jayne and Book. No two characters on the ship could be more different, yet they seemed to form some sort of bond. I would like to have seen that explored more.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
I would like to have seen more involvement overall by Wash. We see his relationship to Zoe, but not much interaction w/ the rest. We got some interaction going w/ Mal in "War Stories", and a bit w/ Kaylee in "Heart of Gold", but that is about it.
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"I don't care I'm still free...."
