I saw Serenity last Friday with a buddy of mine, we didn't have anything to do so we decided to go see a movie. Now neither of us had ever seen or heard of Firefly (i actually have ever of firefly but since it was slated for friday even i never really got a chance to see it because of work and other personal stuff, i really wished i had caught it when it first aired) but he said that he had heard good things about Serenity so we went and saw it.

I loved the movie and decided to check out the show. Needless to say i was really disappointed that the show was cancelled so prematurely. So i bought the Firefly season DVD on good faith that the show would be as good as the movie. Needless to say i was blown away by how good it was. I have a few other friends i'm confident that i can convert :)

i plowed throught the dvd and now i'm heartbroken that i will only be able to watch it on dvd, but it's so good that i'm watching it all over again.

Now Jayne is by far my favorite character i think my favorite scene of his was during "Objects in Space" when Early has the crew captive and Jayne grabs his blanket to show his collection of guns only to cozy himself up to get back to bed!!!

what's everyone's favorite scene???

Did you notice he drooled on his pillow when he was busy sleeping through Early taking over the ship? Love that bit.

Wash with the dinosaurs is right up there,
and the last scene in the movie tags it just right.

It's so cool to hear the stories of the people who saw the movie first, loved it, and went out and bought the series on DVD. That right there oughta prove how well Joss did in making the screenplay accessible to the uninitiated.

My favorite scene? Easy: The flashback in "Out of Gas" of Mal hiring Jayne away from Marco.

"Shut up." Gunshot. "How big a room?"

Hard to pick a favorite scene. Loved every last minute of it. If I had to choose just one, would most definately be in train job when Mal kicks the viking mobster goon into the engine intake.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've seen that scene played out badly in film. The defeated bad guy vows to come back and get you later, and the classic response is for our hero to utter some "I'll be waiting for you" line. Never believed anyone in real life would sit still and take it.

Needless to say, that was the first howl of laughter Whedon ever got from me (and certainly not the last).

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

Welcome to the 'verse! Finding Firefly is sort of blessing and a curse, ain't it? I'm happy to hear you found your way here, and that you've spread the good word to thems that need it.

Fav scene? Are you KIDDING me ? Where to begin? How to choose?

River's 'fixing the bible' scene w/ Book will always be right up there, not to mention "TOO MUCH HAIR!

Jayne huddled up in the rafters as Simon tends to Kaylee's gunshot wound.

River and Simon's touching scenes are a good bet to get my eyes to mist up a bit still. Yeah, I'd have to go w/ one of those.

'Safe'. From the moment Simon steps on the bonfire to the 'cut her the hell down'.

That, to me, encompasses all that's great about Firefly. The writing, directing and acting are all flawless. Get a lump in my throat every time.

I have two types of fav scene. Technical and Humor.

Technical Fav-Trash-Scene where Mal and Saffron are talking in the shuttle after the job and Mal sits down next to her. If you watch, she actually lifts his pistol and swaps it in her hands behind her back. Great little detail.

Humor Fav-Pilot Episode-Mal tells Simon that Kaylee is dead, you know the rest. That scene got me hard. I couldn't breathe for at least 5 mins. It was my first episode ever and I was as convinced as Simon. Perfect.
