True the Operative was a bit more meaty. Though the Blue Hands suffer as antagonists mostly by way of not appearing enough. I suspect later episodes of the season would have amped them up a bit. Perhaps giving them more substance. BTW what did you think of Early?

Me too. Last year a friend suggested I see the BDM which I'd never even heard of at the time. Saw it. Loved it. Bought it. Watched it, watched it, watched it.... Bought the DVDs and played those over and over and over.

(Loaned them to another friend and haven't seen them since. He's hooked on it too!)

For the first time in my life I watched commentary tracks because I had to know more. I've just been caught up in this whole fantastic 'verse and it's creative energy.

I think this site is great and ALL you Browncoats who've been keeping this 'verse flying since 2002 deserve way more than anything I can express. (Ok, so a little obsession goes a long way. That's a good thing.)

Thanks.

I got a myself a Strategy figured out. I give away Firefly Disc 1. Only Disc 1.

My stash of extra Discs 2, 3 and 4 is growing. Not sure what to do with those just yet.

Talk about getting sucked in, you aren't the only one. I was home one day from college and was flipping through channels when I came across Firefly on the scifi channel. It was a marathon, and I watched EVERY episode. Though I missed certain parts of some of the episodes for obvious reasons, and a good chunk of the pilot. I fell hard for the show. A friend told me about it, so I knew to look out for it. Luckily for me scifi chose to run a marathon! When I saw it on sale, I ganked it with the quickness, and loved it even more. Then I got the movie, and am still stricken with pain over the info yet to be revealed, as well as the loss of Wash and Book.

Daveshayne- I really liked Early's character. He was very interesting, as he had many strange but intriguing comments and observations. I thought he had a lot of depth for a character that was only in one episode. It's kind of a shame...he seemed to be on the edge, like he was just going through the motions most of the time. He didn't really seem too malicious. He could've killed all the characters he encountered, but he didn't. I thought this was interesting.

BlackCollarBrowncoat: I totally understand being consumed and quickly!! One of my daughter's friends (yes I am too young to have one of those) brought the series over about 6 weeks ago and we saw the pilot. I have been addicted ever since!!!

Lots of depth. Though I think I see him in a darker light than you. He doesn't kill if he can avoid it not because he's partricularly merciful but because he likes to hurt people. You can't hurt people if they are dead.

By the way have you listened to the commentary for that episode? Joss got really heavy with that.

Early is amazing, and even though they left him kind of screwed there's still the chance that he can return. He gets compared a lot to the Operative but I think that's an oversimplification of both of their characters. The Operative is a lot more like Mal than Early.

Agreed,

Early is a unique and cool character.

The dynamic between The Operative (a believer) and Mal (a former believer) is definately there. Then there is Book (a reformed believer). In a way one of the plots if not the main plot of Firefly/Serenity is Mals evolution from a believer, with faith in god, to a man without faith, and then back again perhaps with a newfound faith in love/humanity even with its imperfections etc...

Show ... so ... addicting ... must stop thinking about it ...

can't fight it... must have more...
