My trip to addiction...........

My sister and I were discussing what movies to rent over the holidays and I suggested the Firefly Dvds and Serenity to top it off. I didnt know anything about the show..never even heard of it...and very little about the movie (ok, ok....I admit I saw a picture of Nathan Fillion in an article and was willing to chance even a bad movie to watch him for a few hours...what can I say..Im shallow when it comes the boys I like...)

So... we marathoned the Firefly DVDs...I knew the show had been cancelled and there were only..like 13 episodes or something...but Im not obsessive...no..not at all... so like any inoccent girl...off I went to watch Firefly

"Serenity Prt 1 and 2" hhmmm...interesting..Im likin' this...opening theme kinda silly... but...

By "The Train Job" .....there was no going back.....

By "Bushwacked" I was hooked.....

"Shindig".........Living happily in deniel...know all the words to the best opening theme!....I had 2 more discs of episodes!..special features!....out-takes!...and a whole movie still to watch!

"out of Gas" is over (so freaking good I cant take it)......I start to feel the panic..just a little....I could deal with being almost done with the show..I'd been watching for two days straight after all (every night....2 in the morning...bleary from three episodes in a row and too much sugar from under the tree....my sister an I look at each other..just one more... right?...then we'll go to sleep...)

"the Message"...Im getting cranky...My sister asks whats wrong..."Nothing!" I pout...."Its just that Christmas is over and you're going home soon and we never see each other and Ive had too much sugar and...and....and ...Theres only TWO episodes left and then ITS OVER!!!!!! No more Firefly!

She laughs at me. But she understands...she has been refering to her boyfriend Jayne for a couple of days now (telling about her if I do say so...)

"Objects in Space"....the best ever...(no! I cant decide on a favorite ep!) but oh...so good...

Love the special features...but I need more! Ouch! Its starting to hurt...ts ok....its ok...I still have the movie

Then I watch "Serenity" the movie. VERY CRANKY!! I dont get it! Wash! How could you!! My captain! He was mean! "I didnt like it!" I pout some more to my sister..."it didnt give me what I wanted" I want my Firefly show back"!

"You're an idiot" my sister says..."it was a great movie"

Shes right of course.. but she doesnt know how hooked I am...and she leaves me there..with the Firefly/Serentiy discs and couple of weeks off...

So...(and dont read this if you cant handle the downward spiral of addiction)

I watch them all again
Then I watch them all again with the comentary
Then I rewatched Serenity
Then I rewatched Serentiy with the comentary (Thank you Joss...I now love this movie! I forgive you for Wash ...well still bummed but..and extra mean Captain...Of course...hes hurting...he cant help it..I get it now)
I decide I need to return my Netflix..but.....but...I..cant give them...up....
So I go out and buy the Firefly set and movie..wide screen of course
Then my Mom comes over and she needs to see the episodes she missed so I watch them with her
Then she needs to see the movie...so I watch it with her
And she of course needs to see them with comentary so....
Oh and look...theres a Firefly marathon on SciFi...I should Tivo it just in case right...?

I have no shame..Im fully addicted...and am going through withdrawl...why oh why can i not have any more Firefly....I miss the crew..I miss the Captain!!! And its really over...no more show no matter how hard I wish...my friends dont understand...

So here I am...looking for my fix...trolling the web for a taste of Firefly...Nathan...Joss..any bit of information to make me feel better. anyone that will understand my addiction..

Does anybody understand???!! Please tell me Im not a freak....Its better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all right....?

Is there a 12 step program for this..?? Whew!...I feel better for

darlin' it's like i'm reading my own story. (except for the nathan part. i love him, but i'm a jayne girl, through and through.)
i actually refused to watch objects in space for three days because i knew it was the end. i felt like i had just discovered something so amazing and it was taken away! and this was less than 4 months ago, since i've only been a browncoat since the movie came out.
welcome home, darlin'.

maybe if we pray hard to buddha, he may give us a pony, a rocket and a sequel. for now, you can hang out here and get support from these fine folks. as a newbie myself, i can tell you that they are so awesome here.

and one more thing: i think we all ache for wash. zoe's reaction the moment he's gone just kicks my ass all over the place.

I watched it after I saw the trailer on apple.com.

I watched the dvds(I bought them on recommendations and faith)

Then I watched them again with commentaries. Then I watched them again. Then more.

Then I saw the moie when it came out in theaters.Like 8 times.

So I think I understand.

You'll be ok.

No honey, you aren't a freak. Trust me, we all went through it, most of us are still going through it, I know I am. I only disagree on one tiny point. I love our dear cap, he's so shiny but I'm a loyal Jayne devotee, Violetrix and I even have a war going on as to the rigths of our mercenary's bunk. In fact Adam was on Arrested Development for a while, I haven't seen those eps yet, but I hear he's wonderful.

If you want a fix of the wonderful Nathan go and watch the last series of Buffy- he was Caleb the evil priest, also he was Johhny in 2 Guys & A girl so try and watch those as well.

It's funny you mention 12 step programs though because one of my friends jokingly suggested that she should write me a self-help program for overcoming my withdrawls.
How about when I finally get it I pass it on to you?

No one's a freak on this board, well thats's if you kinda exclude me...anyways, that's kinda similar to my story, except my dad brought home the Firefly box set. I was complaining that I didn't want to watch it and that I probably wouldn't like it. My father forced me to sit on that couch and watch that show. After the second episode, Train Job, I couldn't stop watching. It was like my life had been taken away from me now and was devoted to Firefly forever. After I finished watching all the episodes with and without the commentary, I asked we could go to see the move. Didn't get to see it in time, but my sister did and she gave me the short short version, which really didn't do it for me. Then, I waited patiently until that dvd came out and I had to watch it four times in a row, twice with the commentary and twice without. I couldn't stop. Anyways, that's my story and I have probably just wasted all of your precious time. By the way, I'm a Simon gal.

Jayne: Are you saying River's a witch?
Wash: Yes, Jayne, she's a witch. She's had congress with the Beast.
Jayne: She's in Congress?
Wash: How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious!

I will admit i didn't want to see this series but my wife insisted. So i got the discs from a freind, copied them and sat down and watched them. From the first minute I knew I found something I liked. Then got to the last episode and wept. The crew I came to love and the series I was swept away with ended. So I looked online for any website and found my way here, its amazing that so many people got caught up in this series like I did. Since getting the disc's from my freind I have order the actual set as well as the movie and keep watching scenes over and over. Its great I love it and need more. Please give us more.

I cant believe with all the CRAP on television that this show that was so well done got cancelled!! Stupid networks! Stupid FOX! Arrested Development...are you insane taking it off the air! Another brilliant show!(Nathan Fillion would be great on that show btw)

Someday...it wont hurt so bad but....right now....I sure do miss my Firefly.......

Jetgirl

you know, i never thought about it, but i think you're right. Nathan would be great on Arrested Development. I could just imagine him on there, and that smile. i'm a guy, and as straight as they come, but Nathan has a great smile.

Let me just start off by saying, Jetgirl, YOU ROCK!! I love your story. So very entertaining. You are so not a freak, I know this because, as a newbie myself, I refuse to think of myself as a freak. So there, can't be a freak. We are just "special". LOL!! It is an addicting show. Even my parents are all up in arms over the fact that there are no more episodes. They saw the movie and IMEDIATELY went out and bought the Firefly DVD set. It can happen to anyone.

OH, and before I forget, WELCOME!!!!!!
