So when did you become a Firefly fan?
Summer 2004. Friend brought the box set over, even he hadn't watched it yet. I was hooked by the time we got to the opening credits!
What attracted you to the show?
It's uniqueness in drive and vision. One of my first thoughts were that Firefly really takes the "wagon train to the stars" idea seriously.
Who is your favourite character?
Kaylee. Too freakin' cute. So snuggleable.
Which is your favourite episode?
Probably a tie between "Out of Gas" and "Objects in Space" both some of the darker, conspiratorial episodes.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Wash: I too wear Hawaiian shirts and make smartass comments. :)
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
A deeper exploration of the Blue Sun Corp. and if perhaps Niska was involved to some extent (something tells me that man has hands everywhere, no?).
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Exactly what I've been told won't happen: more Blue Sun. But I just want one big damn adventure!
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
A few...five, perhaps. Mostly students.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Kaylee/Simon...Joss had the tension set well on that 'ship.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Good question. I would have liked to see more semi-coherent River involved or more how-does-he-know-so-much Book.
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
Take me out, to the black, tell them I ain't comin' back

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
When my best friend force fed it to me after it went off the air. I will never doubt Joss again.

Space-Western (ughhh.) Oh wait, Space-Western (yeahhh!)
Who is your favourite character?
Kaylee.
Which is your favourite episode?
Objects in Space.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Like Kaylee with a side order of Wash. I have bad hair, like strawberries, dinosaurs, being funny, and Zoe or Simon.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
Simon & Kaylee making out for Pete's sake.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
I hope that River will have healed enough for us to learn more about her. She was such a great character, but so scattered sometimes. Oh yeah, and more about Book's past.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
7 directly. Probably about 30 more through them.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Toss up between Mal&Kaylee, Simon&River, or Jayne&Book.

Gorram it! Where is Book from? What's his secret?

Mal Reynolds and Kaylee.

"Out Of Gas"

Hmmm... Jayne.

The mistery of Book...

So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
2
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
When I watched the first episode on fox. I knew I loved the show when the Captain took care of Crow... it was such a great moment funny but dark.
What attracted you to the show?
At first, just the fact that it was a Joss Whedon show. Then I fell in love with the characters. I can appreciate each of them in their own way. The setting was great as well; I liked the dark western in space theme. It's kind of an oxymoron but I like the realism of this sci-fi/fantasy show. This show is about real people in space (not perfect people in spacesuits). They make mistakes and have bad days but they keep flying.
Who is your favourite character?
Kaylee. She is just the kind of person you would want to be friends with.
Which is your favourite episode?
Now that is something I can't decide on... The only one I can’t re-watch a hundred times is Heart of Gold.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Kaylee, I suppose.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
I would have like to have some answers to some off the on-going themes of the show. What’s happing to River, does Inara leave and what's with the Reavers... Can't wait till the movie!
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
LOL see the above answer!
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
I have made all my friends watch. They have become fans. Now I am working on my parents!!
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
hmm... Well I love the family aspect of the show. You have Simons and Rivers amazing love for each other. He was willing to give up everything to save her. I also love the Mal and Kaylee big brother/little sister dynamic. Oh and I think Wash and Zoe relationship is pretty great. It's a real glimpse into married life.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Do the hands of blue guys count? Oh and the Reaver. They are such dark elements of the show, but I can't help wanting to know more. I guess it’s the fear of the unknown.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
...you can't take the sky from me....

Kaylee and Simon kiss, Mal & Inara admit their feelings, River kicks major Reaver behind!

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
November 2004
What attracted you to the show?
Joss. I'm a big Buffy/Angel fan.
Who is your favourite character?
Probably Kaylee.
Which is your favourite episode?
The pilot.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Definitely Simon. He overthinks, and I think I do too. Possibly. Let me ponder for a while longer. Plus he's hopeless with women.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
While I suspect there would have been at least one "big event" and a stunning cliffhanger for the finale, I suspect most of the real development would happen in Season 2.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Happen? I think it should about the story rather than any events as such.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Well, I've sent episodes to a likely candidate and discovered that another one had already watched the show.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Jayne and his guns.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Jayne and River. They're the original odd couple!
And finally...
Which is your favourite line from "The Ballad of Serenity?"
Well, call me a traitor but I don't think it's that good a song. I guess, "You can't take the sky from me" because it's a good quote.

So when did you become a Firefly fan? -About two minutes into 'The Train Job' when watching its premiere.
What attracted you to the show? -Initially it was the premise: a sci-fi western. Two great tastes that go great together. What kept me watching were the great characters, great acting, great writing, great directing, and the fact that there was no sound in space.
Who is your favourite character? -It's tough pulling a Sophie's Choice on this one. I'm going to go with Mal.
Which is your favourite episode? -'Objects in Space' is damned brilliant, but I absolutely love 'Shindig.'
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like? -There's a little bit of each one of them in me, but I think I'm going to have to go with Wash.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled? -Book's origin definitely. The elaboration of the relationships of both Mal and Inara and Simon and Kaylee. The Reavers. River and the hands of blue.
What do you hope will happen in the movie? -Well, everything that I listed in the previous question.
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats? -Only six so far. I'm currently working on my folks.
Which is your favourite relationship on the show? -Mal and Inara.
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more? -Wash and Book, mainly because they didn't really all that much.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?" -I've got to say, it took me a long time to warm up to the song. Friends and I would have countless debates on which show on tv had the worst theme song and the two finalists were always 'Enterprise' and 'Firefly.' I really like it now, I sing along every time I watch it. 'Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't comin' back.' Says it all.

As I watched the pilot ep on the DVD I bought for myself last Christmas. If the rest of the show hadn't aspired to, & often attained, that quality, I probably would not have remained a fan to the end of the DVD.

Episode direction more consistent with the vision Joss illustrated in his pilot ep, particularly from Tim Minnear, 'though I'd probably be happiest if he did not direct another ep.

We'll all be dumbstruck while it's on, cheering when it's over, and have trouble waiting for the second weekend to watch it a second time

Reckon that depends on what you call a Browncoat.
If that is a fervent fan, ready to carry the Word, then only two.
If that is anyone who started liking the series because of me, and will prolly go see the BDM, then twelve, so far.
