As of a week ago, I had no idea that this series existed. I heard about a recent movie release called Serenity and looked into it. It looked interesting, but it didn't seem like something I would see in the theatres, but rather wait till it came out on DVD. About a day later, a close friend asked if I had seen it, I said no. He then told me about a Futuristic Western series called Firefly. I thought it sounded kinda stupid at first, but I thought I'd look into it. Let me tell everyone, I am glad I did. This is now my most favorite series (canceled or not) of all time! I've watched each episode multiple times and I can't get enough of it! Why oh why did they have to cancel it?! Such a good series! I was so sad when I heard. I still need to see Serenity, just need to find some time, but I WILL see it! Thank you Josh Whedon for giving us this amazing show. I hope to see it return in the future.

Oh, just so you know, it's Joss, not Josh.

I'm in exactly the same boat (ship?)

I was a big Buffy fan back in the day, but I didn't know or care about Firefly when it was on. When I started seeing all of these Serenity commercials, I wondered what they were talking about when they said "millions of fans can't be wrong." Of course I had no idea it had anything to do with Firefly.

A friend at work let me borrow the DVD set and told me to watch them before going to see the movie.

Fast forward a week. My wife and I just finished the DVD set. We're both hopelessly addicted to the show now... and there's nothing left to watch! Except the movie, which we plan to see tomorrow night. What a bizarre feeling.

I think Whedon's real gift is creating complex, compelling characters who you want to explore and you want to follow through a journey of self-discovery. So now we're both in love with these characters and ready for the journey, but there's no journey to take.

I'm almost upset I started watching it.

BUT - having said that.. WELCOME to our 'Verse. We're all right there with ya - and the sad thing is, while it's a wonderful thing to welcome in another fan, it's so sad to welcome them in - to sharing our misery :P

Prepare to hate everyone who hasn't seen Firefly or Serenity... In time, you'll lie awake at night, thinking about how this show could have ran for years, maybe even decades, if people would have just opened up enough to try it.

Oh, and when you pass your new found joy onto others (you will tell others, won't you), prepare for them to feel the exact same way as you do right now.

Long story short, I've never heard anyone say they didn't like Firefly; but I've heard plenty of people say they've never heard of it before...

I think I need therapy.
