I found out about Firefly late. Too late. I saw the movie, Serenity, on a whim because I was bored and it got good reviews, and I loved it. I bought it recently with my first paycheck from my new job, and a week later I bought the Firefly series on DVD.

I love this show. I mean I really love it. The characters are so amazing. I've never seen a tv show where I empathize with the characters. I don't comment about how good someone's performance is or think about their acting - I can just feel what the actors are portraying. It's incredible.

I've never burst out laughing at a tv show before. Yeah, I've chuckled at Seinfeld or some other sitcoms once or twice - but nothing has ever sent me through a cycle of emotions like this show. Jaynestown alone had me laughing so hard I could split, almost bring me to tears (and believe me, I NEVER cry), and then question and really empathize with how the big guy felt at the end of the episode.

There are just so many things that should have went right with this show. So many reasons it should be the most popular show ever. But bad marketing and networking seemed to have yet another victim...

I'm just sorry, and dissapointed, that although the fight to keep Firefly on the air didn't succeed, that I wasn't there. I'm upset that Serenity's sales didn't turn out that well - it was so good I figured everybody had seen it! (Well they love it now when I brought it to a party on DVD!)

I wish I could have been there, fighting on the front lines for this show. I guess that's how Mal felt when he lost a war that should have went right. Kind of ironic.

This show has a meaning and depth to me that I can never thank the creators and all that made it possible enough for. Thank you.

It's a perfect performance in the most painful way: it will always leave me wanting more...

P.S.: I never thought ANYONE could get me to love westerns :)



I know exactly what you mean mate i hadnt even heard of Firefly not even seen it on the telly here in England so it was actually only by luck iv got the box set but im glad i did. Ive got plenty of favourite shows but there's just something about Firefly that sets it apart from other SCI-FI shows and just shows in general havent got a clue what it is but i love it now and i want more.

So, we do have Serenity the ship. In a manner of speaking of course.
