Nah, you're not weird. My husband wants us to watch ours every now and then, not everyday like I want to. His reason behind this is so that we can always enjoy it and never get burned out. I am not sure if I could ever get burned out, but I must admit it is pretty smart. Don' tell him that

I love my captain

take your time and enjoy...
but rest assured that they do need to be seen 2-3 times before you 'get' all the subtle hints & clues embedded in each episode,
and there are the commentaries to enjoy...

so have fun!

Dang I was gonna answer yes and say you are weird, but now everyone thinks you're normal and that means I'm weird -

*Backtracking*

Actually I know what you mean I do the same with a good book, just never want it to end so that the mystery is always there... Although I have to admit I have no idea how you control yourself so. When I bought Firefly I had to really fight the urge not to watch the whole thing at once!!! Were it not for hunger pains and the fact that the sun was coming up and work was calling me I'd have just carried on watching.....

Sort of one the same topic... I just got the box set of Wonderfalls this weekend (thanks for the heads up to whoever it was that pointed out that a bunch of TV series were only $18 at Sam's Club). In my area only like 3 of the episodes played, so I have like 10 episodes of un-seen goodness. Do you think I should watch them all at once or pace myself?

How about if you watch only one episode for the month? That sounds good to me. Think about how well you'd know that episode by the end of the month. You could watch it with commentary and without over and over...sigh...sounds great.

Well, if you are weird, I must be insane. I am also a very recent fan. And very ticked off that I only found 'Firefly' after it was off the air.

I got my 'Serenity' movie and entire season on DVD from Amazon.com and was on the edge of my sofa watching the episodes I recorded on my DVR from Sci-Fi channel until it all arrived. My husband is supportive of my habit and even let me take my movie to our little cabin in the woods to watch on vacation. What a guy.

I must admit to being an Adam Baldwin fan since "My Bodyguard". On the edge of obsession but not quite there. Well...according to my kids, I'm there. But Jayne is such a great character! How can I not be?!?

At my local book store, I got the book 'Serenity'. Love it, love it! And I must admit I made a 'Firefly/Serenity' bookmark to keep in it. Yep...I'm long gone. Welcome to the club. *sigh*

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!

I wish I had your self-control. I watched the whole series in one sitting. I kept thinking about how I should pace myself, maybe watch an episode or two every 18 hours, on my way home from the store. Then after I finished two episodes, I thought "one more, just one more...one more wouldn't hurt." But then Bushwacked totally broke my resolve. I had a dentist appointment that day but to hell with that, I couldn't care less if all my teeth fell off, I just want more of the Captain and his crew! *sigh* Good times.

Needless to say when I woke up the next morning I was feeling so down. Nothing to look forward to. No more Firefly. Hit my head on the bathroom wall a few times for being an idiot. Then throughout the rest of the day, I tried to focus on anything non-Firefly-related(really hard to do) hoping that I would forget what I watched the previous night and enjoy it again for the first time.

As expected, I was unsuccessful mainly because A. I was napping(and consequently, dreaming about FF), all throughout the day because I had only 2 hours of sleep and B. My first experience of the 'verse positioned itself so firmly between "that first time with a girl" and "that first time I read Isaac Asimov's Foundation series" that it would take nothing short of lobotomy to erase it.

Re-watching the series and the movie gets me by somewhat but I still long for that pleasant feeling. Is there a 12-step program for Firefly-holics?

Btw, not that I'm complaining because I know that FollowMal's been busy with the flood of newbies like me, but it's a bit chilly in here and I haven't been issued my very own browncoat(hope you can find one that would fit my really small frame).

You poor thing. Being a newbie myself, I feel you pain. I believe there are more than a few here who read you post and were amazed at how much they could relate. Nice to be among fellow Firefly addicts, huh?

I'm still clinging to the hope and delusion that it will return. I am on my own planet of denial. *sigh*
