A Browncoat friend dragged me along to Serenity back when it was in theatres, and while I did enjoy it, I forgot about it completely until my girlfriend got into the show. I saw it on sale at Amazon for $20 and had some extra money, so with her urging me, I figured "why the hell not" and bought it.
Best impulse buy I ever made.

I was originally introduced through the movie. I'm a big fan of Sci-fi, but the thing that made me have to see it was the exchange between Mal and Jayne in the previews:
Mal: Do you want to run this ship?
Jayne: Yes!
Mal: Well... you can't...
After seeing the movie I decided that I wanted to see the show that came before it, but I didn't get around to it for one reason or another. Just the other week I happened to see the Firefly DVD set on sale and picked it up right away.

Welcome here, we're weird.
So long as you spread the word 'bout the show and the movie you're doing all we could ask of you, so do that, and beyond that I've only one thing to tell you:
The people here are great, friendly, nice, and more than that they're family. You are too, you're part of our big mostly happy somewhat screwed up family because you obsess over what we obsess over and you love what we love.
Welcome home.

Pure chance... (or fate?!?) I caught a Firefly marathon on SciFi Channel this past January. I was sicker than I'd ever been with a high fever and stayed home from work.. coming out of a sleepy daze I turned on the TV, started surfing channels and came across an episode of Firefly... the finger came off the remote, down went the remote.. then, another episode.... another... another...'till the last.. OiS.
From that point forward, HOOKED.
The obsession began by tracking down the BDS and BDM.
Unfortunately, I had caught Firefly for a couple of episodes when it originally aired on FOX, but it was always hardly on, because of the MLB championships, I think.. Anyway, it was long gone by December, so I never really had a chance to get hooked back then..
