I'm finding it really fascinating, the different moments that hooked people. My husband got hooked in the pilot when Mal shot that guy as he was walking on board, no hesitation, no BS. As I said, for me it was seeing why the Firefly was called a Firefly - just so damn unique! But the dialogue is incomparable.

Face it, hubby, I'm really hot.

I'd say bout halfway through the pilot I was laughing and drawn in to their world so well that I just knew this show was the best

Pilot, when Serenity moved laterally away from the derelict, using attitude jets, pivoted about its centre of mass, and blasted away on its main jet, silently.

It's between Safe and Objects In Space. Most likely the latter.

The crew mentioning themselves as family or River and Simon showing siblingly love toward each other always chokes me up a bit.

I was hooked in the begining of the pilot. "We shall rule over all this land and we shall call it...'This Land'" That had me madly in love with the show. And Kaylee's dead backed that up really well.

I would have to say that the moment that made my fall in love with the show was in Ariel (first ep i saw, since my friends wanted me to watch them out of order...idiots) Anyway, at the very end when Jayne has his face pressed against that glass and tells Mal to make up the reason why he wont be around anymore...i knew that Jayne was a complex character nd i wanted to see the rest of the series to try and figure him out.

it was when i saw a tv spot for serenity back in october 2005. it looked so great- a down and dirty sci fi opera with humour and great effects as well as characters who you know can be related to. it also had killer lines such as

'you'd better shoot me now.' river cocks gun. 'or, we could talk more.'

and

'faster, faster, faster would be better!'

and of course the classic

'do you wanna run this ship?'
'yeah'
'well...you cant'

after that i knew that i would love the film and the series and that nothing in the 'verse could stop me from watching either!

"can we vote on the whole killing people issue?"

I'm a Brit. Without cable.

So...I'm sitting in the cinema end of last year, and a trailer comes on...

"Oh," I think, "It's that bloke from 'A Knight's Tale', and bloody hell, that's Caleb." Cue sniggers at the whole "This is your Captain..." speech.

Meanwhile, husband is getting overly excited at the space battle which then occurs.

"We have to see this film when it comes out."

"Yeah. Looks like fun." Thinks. "But wasn't this based on some U.S sci-fi show?"

So he got me the boxset for Christmas. And so I got to see it all in order before I saw the movie. And partway through Serenity I & II, I got kinda distracted from the oh-so-pretty man in the brown coat, 'cos there was something big and nasty and armed, smirking with a large knife...

Then the plot bunnies mugged me.

Luckily, I am married to a very understanding man.

I watched the show, on a friends recomendation. I watched it alone, with no one to talk to. So it grew on me gradually. I liked it, did not love it.

Then I met Saffron and I just thought that ep was so funny and great, but questioned whether I was in lust as opposed to in love.

Then I saw "Jaynestown". Not saying it is the best episode. But my moment was when the singer belted out "Jayne" for the first time - suddenly the characters I was coming to know became so real in their reactions and the whole reason for the show - that family - snapped into place.

See how I'm not punching him, I think I've grown!

I came to be a Browncoat very late in the game... I remember seeing one episode from the time Fox aired it (don't ask which one) and liked it, but wasn't spending a lot of time with the tube so missed any others. Once the movie came out I knew I had to see it, but missed it in the theaters (ducks the tomatos )...

So, on blockbuster online I ordered the movie and watched it four times before returning it and buying it the same day. It wasn't full on LOVE yet but I dug it big time! No single moment jumps out, but the end with Mal and River and his talkin' on Love hit me good.

That was about the same time that SciFi Channel aired the episodes. I didn't know they were on until I happened on Out of Gas. From the opening scene, slow zoom on the ship and interior empty then Mal falling bleeding, to the end and his first view of Serenity I was transfixed. I cried throughout the whole episode (yes, I'm a sap!) and knew my life would never be the same again. I purchased the series disks that week!
