Was a fan of Firefly from the first episode I saw. Watched it till it got cancelled. And was very ticked off. Then a friend showed me a program to download TV episodes. Started watching Firefly like that and became a regular here. The of course I bought the dvd's.
My confession would have to be that I got into LOST later in the game. It was about 4 or 5 episodes in till I started watching. Basically I was so sick of the crap happening on Smallville, I downloaded a LOST episode to see what it was all about. Plus I saw David Fury's name associated with it. Once I saw the Pilot I was hooked. I ain't watched Smallville since, and Wednesdays there is quite a gathering at my house just to watch LOST. I even made a shirt to wear when watching. (SHAMELESS PLUG, SORRY)

My friend had the DVDs and i thought ill watch Firefly in a month or so after my exams. Of course it will be good because Joss created it but surely it wont be as good as buffy so it can wait.
I have never been so wrong - and i cant believe the boxset was in my grasp for over a month and i didnt apreciate it!
I feel so bad about that! But also thankful to all the devoted fans at Fusion who proved to me that i had to watch it immidiatly!

I have the worst confession of all.
One of my closest friends is married to one of the purchasers at Sky (ya boo sucks) and being a sci-fi fan she got him to preview Firefly. He didn't like it and on his word Sky didn't buy Firefly and helped to kill it off. 
I confess I am still friends with this bad person who caused worldwide badness.
I really should get me a signature

Just remember, things sometimes happen for a reason.
If the show hadn't been canceled, Serenity wouldn't be a movie comin' out, if he han't made the Serenity movie, Joss might not be doing Wonder Woman. If he didn't make these two back to back hits, they wouldn't have given Joss like five times the money to make the second Serenity movie! To come: Joss owns Hollywood!!
Okay, so I'm a little too into the future here, but you get my point.
Hug that bad friend of yours. They won't be bad next time.

I didn't miss Firefly when it was on television. I somehow found out in advance about the show, and waited eagerly for it's arrival. See, I'm an Adam Baldwin fan, so I liked the series before it even aired!
Don't be too hard on yourself, you had no idea about the brilliance of the show. I have little ones too, which makes any television viewing difficult!

I liked Adam since My Bodyguard. That dates me.
Is it just me, or is there quite a few of us Browncoats that have reached our 40th rung on the ladder of life? I catch these comments, or I look up profiles and we ain't jus' a bunch of little kids here, are we?
We all just think and communicate so young-like is all, huh?
Chrisisall is 45!

Quote:For me, Lost is just fictionalized Survivor. Yes, I've watched the episodes and I agree it's well done, but if I don't keep telling myself it's just fictionalized Survivor, I'll get sucked into watching another great show that may not be around for long.

Am I bitter? Well, maybe a little.
My confession is that I didn't watch Firefly so much because I loved the show. I really was not so sure about how far the Western angle was going. I was initially put off by the theme too, but then at first I only listened to the very Country sounding initial bars. Still don't like Country, but have long since gotten into Blue Grass.
What made me keep coming back was the fact that I couldn't figure out who was playing Mal. His face was extremely familiar, but I couldn't figure out why. Now, if I'd been truly curious, I would have looked up Nathan Fillion right off the bat and found out that he used to be Johnny on Two Guys and a Girl. Did I do that? No - I kept watching through Bushwacked. That episode informed me that Whedon wasn't taking any grief from anybody.
Then I watched Our Mrs. Reynolds (the third episode in the original run on fox) and I was irretrievably hooked.
God bless Nathan and his pretty face. If not for him, I don't think I'd be here.
Fans come and fans go...but zealots are with you until the bitter black end.

Did the same thing Chrisisal did. Saw the first episode under lots of distraction and didn't get it. I wanted to see more, but never caught it again.....then it was gone.
Discovered it again on Alan Tudyk's IMDB profile. When I saw I Robot, I couldn't place his voice. It was so familiar but I couldn't place it. When the credits rolled his name didn't help. So I went home and looked up the movie, clicked on his name and knew exactly who he was as soon as I saw his picture. "Watt from a Knight's Tale....Gerhart...I know that guy" I started looking at his profile and realized that I had seen almost every movie he had done and liked them all. I clicked on Firefly and realized it was that show from a long time ago. I found it a few months later and bought it thinking.."most of his stuff is great". That was last November. I fell hard for this show and I am so greatful to all of the diehard fans that have done so much to help get the movie made. I wish I had paid more attention back then....I missed out.
Sorry this is so long.

I'm always facinated to find out how folks came across this singular piece of beauty and wit.
Alan WAS great in I, Robot, too.

I have many friends who don't want me to like LOST, because every show I start to like gets Ripped Mercilessly from the TV. i.e. Angel, Firefly, almost Tru Calling, and of course Smallville just went downhill.
