Has anyone ever watched a full episode of Firefly and not liked the show? Or turned the pilot off after the dinosaurs? A coworker returned my box set to me after watching the beginning of the pilot episode (the BEGINNING, not even halfway through), with the persistent excuse of “I don’t like sci-fi.” Seems she can’t see the forest for the spaceships. Got any advice?

Tell her it's more of comedy, western, drama, action, horror, type sci-fi

Some people just don't get it. If you want to persist, here's what I've done.
1. Show them my Firefly website with infomation about Firefly.
http://web.mac.com/arcadianlc
2. Talk about the relationships of the characters.
3. Choose my favorite episode, Our Mrs. Reynolds, (or your favorite), and then I watch it with them.
If they still don't get it, Wait a few months, and then try again.

My brother in law watched the movie and didn't really like it a lot. Apparently it wasn't Star Warsy enough. And my sister will probably never watch it because she is, how did you say it? Not into Sci-Fi. So I am right there with you dude.

Well honestly, the movie is a lot more sci-fi than the series. But does that mean she won't watch the series either?

for those not into sci-fi, try Our Mrs. Reynolds, as suggested. Or Shindig

Well, you could apply the cortical electrodes and try to shock her into coherence…….

Seriously, I’ve had this same thing happen with a friend. He is a real action junkie and I was so sure he would like the series… but, not…
He would rather be outdoors than in front of a boob tube…. And I can’t blame him for that…. Ya wins a few and ya loses some too….

My ex-girlfriend got to "I love my captain," before she started watching the time code on the VCR, I broke up with her two days after that. My advice is this, if some one doesn't like it, try again, if there's still no hope for them, move on to someone else.
Edit: DO NOT do what I did to my girlfriend, She'll give you a few e-mails at first, then you won't hear from her for MONTHS!

I don't think most folks can resist OMR. If they can... as so many others have said --- move on.
The next person will likely watch it and fall in love with it.
