Here I am following the two Chris's (?) and saying... folks do care here. I am not new anymore, been here for a spell and everyone is welcoming and kind and they really do care and listen to what you have to say.

It's like home... but better.

I feel free here, I hope you will too.

No argument here. I watch the series all the time on dvd and watched the movie again for NY's eve.

I have to say (as a relative late-comer), that I too have found myself strangely addicted to this show and movie. (Joss must have included subliminal messages which effect weak-minded folks like myself)

After seeing the film (because I saw the trailer, and the trailer interested me), I started watching reruns of the show on Sci-Fi, and then running out to buy the DVD on the second day (guess I'm not a true Browncoat, waiting for the second day).

Then, I watched the DVD five times in 3 days, and got my nephew to watch it, as well.

I've never watched any movie 5 times in 3 days. Even when "Star Wars" came out in 1977, I saw it twice in one day, but that was it.

I can't explain what it is about this show/movie. Obviously, the characters are interesting and well-written. And sure, I can mention things I don't like about it, but the things I don't like about it, obviously are not the things which keep me coming back.

As I've stated elsewhere in these forums, I think the acting has a lot to do with it. The actors obviously love their work, and it shows. They've made their characters 3-dimensional, and we actually care about them. When you get an audience to care about your characters, you've hoooked them.

Well, I've said enough for now.

Joss really should stop with the subliminal messages.

But why?!?!

I can't explain it, and I wish I could.

Maybe, they should require a prescription before people could watch the show. It needs to be taken in moderation, or you become addicted.

And without new episodes/movies, the withdrawal isn't pleasant.

that's the thing. i feel very ackward about my addition to the Firefly 'verse. I've never been obsessed with a show or anything like this. When I get down about the show being cancelled, i'm just like, "Good God man. It's a TV show. Get over it. Look at yourself." it just makes you feel so silly, but you can't get over it. it's love. and i find it odd that i love a TV show so much. out of all things, a TV show. but then again, us Browncoats know that it's more then just a show.

Ah, but love is love. How can we deny it?

We're all in the same boat with this show and movie and once your in, it seems you are in to stay.

I want more... the movie and episodes are not enough for my addiction!

agreed with above poster. It's the bestest show... ya know, sometimes i wonder, is it really that good, or have i just forgetten what the show is like and gotten hooked on being hooked?

then i go back and watch the show again, and... it is that good. It's love, pure and simple. Now, I'm sorta a young guy, and as odd as it may sound, Firefly was/is my first love, and I see nothing wrong with that. Maybe I'm doing that whole 'in love with love' thing but.... nah. Just gorram shiny TV.

I survived a day in Whitefall and all I got was this lousy signature!
