When the show was originally aired I caught maybe two or three episodes. Can't honestly remember which ones though I have vague recollections of Inara in her shuttle. Then it gets cancelled. Why would anyone in there right mind put a decent show on Friday night?

Fast forward to last year. One of my coworkers asks me if I remember a show called Firefly. I tell her yes but it got cancelled. BTW she is fan of Buffy/Angel but never got into Firefly, go figure. She then tells me a movie based on Firefly is being made. I thought it was quite strange to make a feature film out of a show that didn't even last one season.

Sometime near the end of summer 2005 the Sci Fi channel started promoting Serenity and airing episodes of Firefly on Friday nights. Being I work second shift I have to record anything worth watching, which isn't much. I had been passing on Firefly because I was already recording both SG series and Battlestar Galactica. I really didn't see the need to devote an extra hour of TV viewing for a show that was cancelled so quickly. As Simon would say, I'm a dummy. As luck would have it I found myself off on two consecutive Fridays with nothing to do so I figured what the hell I'll check it out. That was all it took. Two episodes and I was hooked. Went to see the BDM, bought the boxset, and have purchased so much Firely/Serenity related merchandise it is downright scary!

September 20th, 2002, I watched it and fell in love with the whole concept of Firefly. It was the best damn Sci-Fi I had ever seen.

Good. By the way, I saw the easter egg of Adam singing that this week for the first time. Found it on accident. Laughed my head off.
