I saw the Serenity-Pilot on sci-fi. I was very eager to finally catch the only Joss Whedon show I'd managed to miss (though, go figure, I ended up missing the teaser and a little of act one). The dialogue seduced me, but the moment that make me realize I was in love was when Kaylee got shot. A bit morbid, I know, but, hey. The moment left me completely stunned. Kaylee? They shot Kaylee? The entire sequence was a work of art, the frenzy, the overlapping dialogue, the way that the intensity of the moment really highlighted the character dynamics and how every interacts with each other... I realized, suddenly, that this was more than just as show, more than just actors acting out words in front of a camera. This was a story, the kind that you can't find every pilot season. Wow, how sad was I that I missed it the first time around?

First episode I saw was Bushwhacked when it was originally aired. I loved the whole episode, especially the interogation scene but I have to say that at the end of the episode when the ship is blown up by the alliance and that music came on and the whole thing seemed so real...i was completely addicted.

Hey Channy. As I continue read this thread, the more I realize is that I am constantly falling in love with this show. I've loved this show from the start. But the best thing about Firefly is that every episode has at least one line or scene that just ropes you in.

They do, don't they? The BDM does that to me too. I couldn't sit in the theater seats for very long last Thursday, so I tend to get up and stand in the back and watch. I was going to go out and get something from the concessions stand too, right after *this* scene or right after *that* scene... Then I figured I might as well just sit down.

I was totally hooked in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" when Saffron knocked-out Mal (with a kiss) and then Wash (with a kick), and then caused all that damage to Serenity, all in about 10-15 minutes of screen time. The surprise of learning she wasn't what she appeared to be, coupled with her devious craftiness, did it for me.

EEE-ZEEE. It was the first commercial I saw for it. It showed a couple of fast-paced cuts from the Reaver chase in the pilot and then the shot of the full burn in atmo, and the cut to Jayne's trimphant stand in the engine room. I got so excited I think I peed a little.

Mal pretends Kaylee is dead. Simon freaks out. Everyone has a good laugh at his expense. I was sold.

Plus, seeing Alan Tudyk plays with dinosaurs wasn't hindering the process any, either.

When I saw the movie on DVD, I realized, that I had (months ago) seen a commercial on it. I recognised the scene, where they discuss, what to do, and Jayne has another opinion, and Mal asks somethiong like: do you wanna lead the ship? Jayne - yes! Mal: Eh - you can't do that! (or similar - sorry, I have the German wording in my head).

It was just so "that's-how-live-is". Actually, that's how Joss is - being all genre-typical and then pulling the crap. Aaah, he's just great.

Anyway, so I realised, that I was kind of "in love" just from the commercial. The memory of the commercial stuck to me until I found it again in the movie (jumping up and down: I've seen this, i've seen this!). Two days later, I had the DVD of Firefly.

So that's my story.
