Is this a common problem with Browncoats?

Here it is. Most nights I watch a show or movie before I hit the bunk. Lately it's been like this:
I pop in Robocop and get through about twenty-five minutes of it when a voice in my head says, quite distinctly "...you'd be enjoying Ariel a whole lot more right about now..." So I take out Robo and pop in disk 3.
Or the other night where I was watching Westworld, and the same voice came back, "...if you're gonna watch something western, Objects in Space would be more fun..." So I take out Westworld and pop in disk 4.
I can't seem to get through much of somethin'in the way of what ain't Firefly without that voice intruding and gettin' me to make a switch!
Does anyone else have this problem?
And who's voice is that, anyway (don't sound like me, is it somethin' in the dvd's that gets planted into your subconcious to direct your viewing habits, or is it Malicious usin' her reader-projection powers on me)?

Help!

Can't watch his other favourite stuff no more Chrisisall

I keep trying to watch Buffy and Angel at the moment but end up watching FF instead. The only Buffy episode I have managed to watch lately was OMWF and that was only so I could sing along.

I am even having problems with Babylon 5. I am converting my other half to B5 (still trying with FF but he doesn't like it - insanity) and every time I think of suggesting the next episode my mouth actually says 'why don't you play your guitar its been at least a day and I want to watch FF'.

Something very wrong with the world

I really should get me a signature

Ah, Westworld...fun.

yeah, pretty much. Sometimes, when I am at someone’s house watching whatever it is that they watch, I play one of the episodes in my head. No one seems concerned that I laugh at the wrong time or gasp or whatever...they just think I'm being weird again.

thatweirdgirl, I play eps in my head, too, mostly at work. I say,"Huh?, What?" a lot 'cause people interupt during the really good parts.

What it is, is this ...

The Creators of the Firefly DVD`s created them with in-built subliminal messaging on the DVD startup screens. If you go freeze frame and then step by step, you will find that the hidden messages ...

"You will buy at least 2 sets of this DVD"

"You will lend one set of DVDs to others"

"You must watch an episode of Firefly everyday otherwise the bad people will come"

"Joss Whedon is God"

"Selling your DVD set is Bad, real Bad, you will go to a special Hell if you sell you DVD set"

Those are the ones I`ve picked up on, I get so far and then I just have to watch an episode of Firefly

I went through a similar stage my own self. Only it got to be the ONLY thing I'd watch, and since I got cable and hooked up my XBoxLive, I forced myself to take the DVD out of the player.It hasn't gone far, as it still sits right NEXT to the player.

I do still hear and see things in FF point of view. Do I really need to elaborate? Naww, didn't think so , not here.

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Wow, when I started this thread I thought maybe nobody'd respond, as I personally don't know any other Browncoats on a face to face basis, and I thought it a mite peculiar to obsess on on series to a point such as this.
Sure am relieved to find I ain't the only one two steps from a looney bin.

Now, I'm gonna make tonight a no- Firefly night.
Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.

Maybe Ash can save me Chrisisall

Yeah,
You're definitely not alone here. I think it may be the voice of Joss. No matter how many times I've seen these eps, anytime I'm watching someting that isn't good, I think "I could be watching Firefly instead." Of course the same thing happens to me with music. I hear the crap that passes for music on the radio, and think, "I'd rather be listening to Marillion."
Never settle for less.
