I sure did, I was near tears when I saw Serenity getting all battered, bruised, and ripped up.

Krystl, I winced pretty hard then
I love how Kaylee talks to Serenity, its the way I feel about machines too. I'd rather know a machine so well as to understand its communication of problems rather than just run calculations of fatigue wear and stuff. Much more personal and bonding.

I love it too, and i'd have to say it's my favorite character of the show as well.
It's intereseting to see the different exterior versions the ship from episode to episode. I'm not too fond of the initial version, the one on the cover of the DVD set. It's kind of "primative" looking. Luckily it wasn't used too much in the show. The newer one is much better looking. I love it. I'm really hoping someone makes a model kit for it. I'll buy several.

I love Serenity, I would LOVE to live on her. That is the difference.... I wouldn't love to live on the Enterprise, I wouldn't love to live on Galactica. Serenity is home, it says so in her name. She is a lovely ship. Made more beautiful because the crew, especially Mal loves her so.
I gasped when she was all banged up, but I loved watching as the crew put her back together and repainted her name.
I reckon she'll miss Wash.... as will we all.

I grimaced when she crashed. Serenity reminds me of the kind of love you have for an old car you might have owned that looked a bit worn but always got you where you needed to go and got you back home again. Kinda like an old Dodge slant six I had decades ago. She never let me down and got me through blizzards and torrential rains and always got me where I needed to go. When she died it was peacefully in the garage after many years of faithful service. Serenity's the kinda ship that instills that affection and makes it more than just a mere machine.

I'm the same way with my car. Chances are, it'll be with me for a long time.

I was just talking about how much I love her today after I saw the movie again. When I was younger, I used to think that the Defiant from Deep Space Nine was the prettiest ship out there, because she had a personality and she was functional and not pretty in the way that the other Star Trek ships are pretty. She was pretty because she could do her job, get down and dirty and do things that the big luxury liners (like the Enterprise) couldn't do. But even she wasn't home. Serenity is beautiful because she is part of the crew in ways that even the Defiant wasn't. Sisko could never love the Defiant like Mal loves Serenity. And the characters in Firefly are so much more human than the ones on Star Trek, so when they love something, we can connect to them, and feel that love too.
Also, I love that there's no sound in space, and that Serenity uses three dimensions, and goes up and down and sideways and upside down and every which way, like you would in space, not just in two dimensions like in Star Trek. She's special because she's so much more real.
That, and she's just plain pretty.

To Mal, Serenity is what saves his soul and makes him want to go on living.
That's a whole other level.
