The first time I watched the show was when it aired, with the Train Job. I liked it, enjoyed Mal shoving the thug into the turbine, but was somewhat unimpressed my the episode. Later my family got the DVDs and i saw Serenity.
The look in Mal's eyes, the horror and disbelief, as his men are mercilessly slaughtered by the superior Alliance ships, as his faith in God and freedom are shattered completely; that is when I fell in love.
No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.

This is my first post,but I've been a Browncoat from the beginning.
I loved the show from the first time that I heard the theme.The ship zooming over the heads of the running horses made a statement;People and problems are the same past,present and future.
I knew that I would love the show forever when I saw Shindig.The crushed look on Kaylee's face when the debutants are putting down her beloved pink party dress stayed with me for a long time.
That's when I knew it was more than just a story,
these folks were family.

I am a new recruit I guess.
I have never heard of Firefly or Serenity at all. I am on the other end of the globe. I have never seen the show on TV. I don't have sci-fi channel and fox news is the only FOX on TV here. I am so detached from sci-fi since season 1 of Farscape that I only get to watch on AXN here. Most shows here are local TV and are fantasy soaps!! 
The only thing I know about Joss Whedon was that he created Buffy and Angel and was to direct the new Wonder Woman movie. I did like Buffy, and Angel. But Firefly? I never heard of it. I just stumbled into it while on the net looking up Wonder Woman movie updates.
I stumbled into Morena. And Firefly being one of her credits. I thought she'd be a good WW. Then I left it at that. Few months later, I was looking up for WW updates again. There were a lot of women now rumored for the coveted role, but none of them looked like the one I saw before. I liked Morena the first time I saw her. So I looked her up. Still the same info about her. Firefly. I once again left it at that.
Weeks later I spotted a Firefly DVD in the mall. I bought something else that day. 
I came back to buy FF a few days later.
MAL shocked me as a response to why they are not going to die. "Coz we're pretty!". HUH?!
But what got me was Kaylee looking for passangers sitting with her blue-green dress and tiny oriental umbrella. She was so happy.
I felt very happy watching it and wanted to see more of it.
And I laughed so hard in OUR MRS REYNOLDS. That sealed the deal. I'm hooked.

I always meant to watch the show on FOX, but could never remember when it was on. Then I forgot about the show. Sci-Fi then started advertising the show and I though, "Oh, cool. I can check it out, finally." I forgot to watch it on Sci-Fi, also. My brother took me to go see "Serenity" and I was like, "OMFG! That rocked!" I then promptly forgot out "Firefly" again till just a few weeks ago and I spotted the DVD boxset for "Firefly" at Target. I picked it up and thought the first 3 episodes were ok, but I think it was either the 4th, 5th or 6th episode that really got me hooked on the show. I've been watching a DVD a night and then "Serenity" for the last two weeks. LOL, I even got my grandfather to start watching it.
I aim to misbehave

For me, it was about two minutes into my first experience with Firefly. In The Train Job, after Mal and Lund have their exchange, when Lund says, 'Now what are you going to do about it?' and Mal replies, 'Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind you.'
That's when I realized that these were my kind o' people.

I got told by my boyfriend I had to watch it, and to be honest, it was the opening scene on the double episode that got me.
And the theme song too, I could identify with. 
No power in the 'verse can stop me

My earliest memory of the show was when I stumbled upon it on FOX one night. I never watched the show when it was airing, but the scene I saw was permanantly etched into my memory, since it'd made me pretty much pee my pants laughing so hard, despite being out of context. Time passed, and the title of the show, and the fact that it had been a Joss Whedon production, faded from my memory.
It wasn't till i got a chance to watch the DVD's that I realized that I had been blessed to witness one of the funniest moment on television without knowing it. I never forgot the scene I saw that night, nor the first words I EVER heard utter by a Firefly character...
"If you take sexual advantage of her, you’re going to burn in a very special level of Hell...a level they reserve for child molesters, and people who talk at the theater."
All hail the mighty Joss, for making my night, and making this show!
*************
Morena and Nathan asked about the Mal and Inara dynamic:
Morena: Who knows where this relationship is going.
Nathan: If I had my druthers, if we ever hook up I hope it’s on my death bed.
Morena: You don’t want to kiss me, do you?
Nathan: I do. But not for the sake of the show.
Morena: Good answer.

*sigh* even adorable off screen...

Yeah, "Our Mrs. Reynolds" was probably one of my favorite episodes, too. The "special hell" that Book mentions made me laugh pretty hard, too. I laughed harder after the pause and then he says, "and people that talk in the theater." Then he pops back around the corner and says, "A special hell." and runs off. LOL! Definitely one of the many great moments the TV series had.

What made me fall in love with the show... -sigh- Well. I saw the episodes on DVD first.
The line that got me hooked?
"Because we are so - very - pretty. Weare just too pretty for God to let us die."
Yep.
Of course, the chinese was an added plus for me. It was new, it was hip, and... it's just fun to curse in a foreign language people don't normally learn in high school, so no one knows what it means.

When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't do that you sit still and watch episodes of Firefly.
