well i'm 15 and my older sister got me into it. i have one friend (who was an avid joss fan) who i have managed to convert. i took 3 friends to go see Serenity with me, and they all loved it. Two of them were already joss fans, but not really avid. one had never seen anything joss. the two joss fans have since seen the pilot episode (which i have on DVD) and they really liked that too. i'm going to have a shindig soon, to show of our favourite show to all my friends.

I'm 14. *shrug* I can't help it, man!

Although when I said that I was starting High School this year to my friends on this other forum (not Serenity/Firefly based), they all thought I was in my twenties, and not a 14 year old girl.

I'm one of the few teenage fans who weren't converted by their parents. I converted my dad. Which rules, because he's willing to drive me the 40 minute drive to see Serenity (I've seen it 3 times. Yay.

I didn't see it when it aired, sadly. I just got into it 4-5 months ago.

I'm a fan of the writing. I aspire to be a writer, so Joss is my inspiration.

I'm not a fan of Buffy/Angel, though. I never really saw it.

I was hooked from Train job,which was the "Pilot" episode because of Fox's *infinite* intellegence (yes Im being sarcastic) waaaaay back when Firefly first started, belive I was 13 then? And I watched every episode and every repet that was on... and then they killed it!! I boycotted Fox for about 4 years after that, my hand to god, boycotted, refused to watch anything on Fox or produced by Fox... Anywho Im 18 now and have converted my dad, we are now working on my mom and my sister... other then that all my retarded friends, and pretty much everybody elles at my school is more into OC and all that go se then Firefly... stupid stupid teenagers...

Words cannot describe my love for Firefly and Serenity. I'm sure some of us feel the same way. Fanatic is used as a very light term for me, so is avid fanatic.

I want to have a shindig more than anything in the 'verse, but my parents says it
s too much money. I am 15 going on 16 May 23. My parents are right though, it would be thousands of dollars, because I am talking about a real shindig. Casual though. Screenings, raffles, silent auctions, food (strawberries included), possibly a guest appearance. It would be the rental fee that would cost so much. This is not the place to post this though.

I am the youngest in the family, my older brother (22) got me into the 'verse of Joss. I practicaly worship Firefly/Serentity (without the worshiping). Like I said, words cannot decribe my love. My actions will. I wrote a poem about Serenity (the ship itself)

You are Serenity

My love makes you a home to me
You fly me through the 'verse and set me free
I gaze at the stars and truly wonder
Why did Fox drag you under

The ambient stars and warmth of your core
I'll fly with you forevermore
There's so much in the 'verse to see
You're not just a ship to me
You are Serenity

Thanks for this thread - and especially the teenagers who wrote.

I missed Firefly (the series) when it first came out - missed the pilot (aka Fox's version of a pilot - The Train Job) and never bothered to catch up. before I knew it the series was gone. (insert colorful Chinese description of Fox and their executives - and their ancestors and descendents...)

Discovered Firefly last December; have DVDs of the series and Serenity.

I've wanted to watch it with my kids, but felt it was too grown-up. (my son's 11 and hides his eyes at kissing, and daughter's 13 and at that awkward stage...)

Reading the teens thoughts on Firefly - well, another discussion with my wife will ensue. (kids and I watch Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis regularly, btw, and used to watch Enterprise as a family; still need to finish the last few shows though...)

Oh, btw - I'm 51yo, and I'd say Firefly was a darn-near perfect show. Serenity (the movie) was an excellent clean-up-the-loose-ends movie [except for what happens with some characters...] and ended such that a follow-on series would be possible (and in *my* 'verse it'd happen!)

I've watched the series several times now, and each time when I finish there's a longing for more. Amazes me that Fox didn't know what they had - Firefly could've gone on for years with a solid core of folks that'd watch every episode every time it's on. Wouldn't be the top-numbers in viewership, but isn't it better to have a dedicated group that watches every time??? I clearly don't understand... Nor comprehend...

Ah, well - off to parental discussion. Maybe Firefly marathon will ensue...

I'm 15, I've loved Firefly ever since I was 14. Not exactly a large amount of time, but come on, I lived in Brazil when it aired!

Most of my friends (8th-fresh-soph) enjoy the show, and oddly enough, we are all beaners. One of the three white people in Salinas likes it too.

Oddly enough, Inara's little scene and the torture thing did nothing to taint my young, fresh mind. xP Maybe it's because of MTV or something?

So yeah. Firefly is a multi-cultural thing.

She was over the top
And out of control
She ran away
At thirteen years old
But she had her feet on the ground
And nobody pushed her around

I just found this site today - wish I'd seen it before!

I never got to watch Firefly when it was on TV but I saw Serenity and was hooked. Afriend who had seen every episode and had met Joss explained the 'verse to me and I recently bought the series on DVD.

When I started to watch the first episode last week, my 9 year old son got angry that I hadn't included him, so we started the whole thing over. Pretty soon my hubby showed up to watch too. Either my son and I or all three of us watched every episode over the last 5 days then had our finale' with Serenity tonight!

My son loved it all. Yes, explaining the "whore" comments and Inora's "companioning" [can I use that as a verb?] of so many people was a little. . .complicated, but he took my (basic and non-detailed) explanations well. His only comments at the end were, "Why did they have to kill Wash?!?!" and "Why doesn't it keep going?"

He feels as I do - this 'Verse needs to continue!!

I'm 13, and I'm the only one in my family who even likes any scifi. It freaks my mom out, my dad thinks it's absolutely pointless, and my sis...well, she's six, so she's kinda scared.
I love scifi. I also love the whole stargate franchise (except Stargate: Infinity, the worst cartoon ever), Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Dr. Who.
I also watch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
You'd be surpised at what kid's like.

Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally.
So the moral is...be paranoid.

Have a great day!
