Ok... I've been a Firefly fan for about 6 months or so. I own the movie, I have season 1 on DVD, I troll the websites... but I have only watched about the first 6 episodes. I just don't want to not be able to see a new one. I figure if I watch about one episode per month, maybe when I am done, there will be something new almost ready?

Regardless- this may be a good idea or not, if I could stop myself at watching a single episode at a time!

Yes you are very weird, but that is just shiny, as you are in the company of weird people here.

I can relate as to how hard it is not to watch episodes two at a time. My best advice is to flip through the forums so you do not think of the next episode to watch, or take up another hobby, like drawing. That is the best I can come up with anyways. Good luck.

You're very smart from my reckoning. They just get better. :) Take your time. I recommend watching each one three times before you move on.

I was kinda' like you. I was with Firefly from the beginning, back on Fox. But it took me some time to get the money together for the DVDs. When I finally got them I watched the episodes I'd seen a ton but held off on the ones I hadn't. It was tough. Eventually I got down to one un-seen episode and started to freak. I couldn't decide whether to watch it and not have any more new Firefly or to wait and have that one last piece left. Well of course I watched it eventually but I held off for a while. I'm sad there aren't any more new ones but I'm sure glad for the ones we had. And don't worry, they never get boreing, so you'll never get sick of watching them over and over again, just ask anyone here they can tell you that. lol

Not so weird.

Welcome to the boards SerFatty. Glad to have you aboard.

Stretching them out to make them last is not a bad idea. You might try watching an episode, than a week or two later watch it again w/ the commentary. Those are a blast and give some really unique insight into the episodes.

Another thing you might want to try is sharing the episodes w/ friends and family while it is still new & fresh for you. You will not only spread the word to them as needs it told, you will get to see new episodes with them for the first time.

Spread the word! Keep flyin'!

You're not weird by any standards here (hee, hee!), but I am amazed at your self control!

Welcome! Somewhere in this site someone listed, in order, all the steps to prolong the experience. I think it's called "The Order of Things" and if I knew anything I'd post the link, but I'm not that computer savy.

Reading fanfic has been my favorite post-viewing experience (besides watching the entire thing in order every month).

heh, when I first discovered the 1st season dvd box I was doing good to not watch more than 2 episodes a night. I admire your self control though

I also admire your restraint. I gobbled the whole lot over 3 very long nights BUT had the sweetest surprise of my life a week later...

You see, I'd downloaded them off my freeloadin' flatmates computer, then decided to get my act together and order the boxset. Imagine my joy to find one he'd missed. And it was 'Trash'. And it opened with Sexybum butt naked on a rock. Not to mention the return of my favourite side character, Saffron.

Oh, the shouts of jubilation are still ringing in my ears.

Seriously though. You should watch the rest. They're awfully good.

Yeah they get better towards the end *sniff

I rushed the whole series in a week then thought, damn thats it. I cried at the end of Objects in Space when River came back on board Serenity, it was a fitting ending the Firefly, I am sure not the one Joss Intended but it provided at least some closure.

I just hope we see a new series of Firefly sometime soon, or a movie or even an Audiobook/Radio Series.
