We've all wondered it. We have all seen the blank stares from people if they don't get the inside joke. So when do we become avid Firefly Fans, and when do we become the insane Star trek-esque fans of the 70's? I believe there is a line, where would you put yourselves on it?

I would call myself a clearly-thinking rational person. However, THEY would definitely call me obsessed.

Hell yeah.

I love the show, no more, and definitively no less. I think when you're in love with any work of fiction you're obsessed. I've met people obsessed with Shakespeare before, absolute nuters, and if I seem as strange to them as they do to me I'm still proud to say I'm obsessed.

-

Seriously though, can someone explain what people see in Shakespeare? I mean he kills any character that develops in the least. The only way to live through one of his tragedies is to be like Iago, MacDuff, or Horatio and never change a bit.

Gladly.

Yes. Matter of fact, I'm watching Serenity now and I'm in bed.

Oh how I wish I wasn't as obsessed as I am.
Being obsessed over Star Trek or something else is one thing, there's 100s of hours of footage to watch. Not so with Firefly :(

Still, I find myself gettin excited every time I stick in one of the DVD's - and I probably still will when I can reciet the shows word for word - and I even start to miss it if I go a whole day without watching at least 1 episode. When I'm watching I'm constantly thinking up how much more could have been done with the characters/story, and when I finish an episde I can't stop thinking about how much I enjoy it!

I've even had to restort to getting my family to watch the shows, in the hopes they like it, so I'd have someone to chat to about it!

I need help! xD

I would call myself obsessed, but that isn't a bad thing imo. I know some Trekkies and I don't think their level of obsession is bad either, so long as it doesn't get in the way of their lives. There is a point where an obsession goes too far, but I would think that it's pretty difficult to reach that point.
