For me I definately knew I was hooked when I saw Ariel.

Saw two full episodes (They were Ariel and Objects in Space, if your interested). Fell in love. Here I am, always ready.

I think I was hooked after the first episode I saw. (I think it was Shindig. Whichever one aired 2nd.) I didn't realize it, but I went to the Fox site, and was really ticked off when my sister brought her boyfriend over to see a video and I couldn't see or tape OMR. I didn't realize that I needed to tape and treasure every single episode until after OiS. And then after Serenity I was like, "Wow, this is the greatest thing in the history of the human race."

I fell in love with Firefly when "The Train Job" aired. It was so unusual and quirky, I was immediately in love with the show. It took maybe another episode for the wife to also fall in love with the show.

I still get a bit of a lump when I hear the opening guitar start the theme song. Like they said during the "Making Of..." featurette on DVD #4, the song is Malcolm Reynolds. Listening to that song and watching all the subsequent episodes, I realized that Mal was not only a guy I could relate to, but a guy I would love to invite into my home for an hour each week. Him and his eight other friends

Also, I love "Jaynestown". I still hear "The Hero of Canton" run through my head now and again (It keeps all the voices happy )

Needless to say, I'm glad I got the DVD set, so I can not only revisit all the episodes that got shown out of order, but see the unaired ones, too.

I find it really interesting that the writtenp-in-a-weekend, subpar-to-the-real-thing premiere is what hooked so many people.

Long live the genuis of Joss and Tim.

For me.. I'd seen Serenity, thanks to a great boss who taped it (I didn't start watching til last May), and I expected it to be great. It was. I don't think I knew I was going to be obsessed, though, until I found myself unable to space the 4 downloaded episodes I had (I had no DSL, so I knew it'd be a month or so til I could get more) and instead shot through 'Safe' in two days (that's how long I lasted).

I think, honestly, Bushwacked did it for me. I love the creepy beyond words, and I also was starting to really absolutely adore the characters. I had no moment of ephiphany - but by the end of Safe, I was distraught that I had to wait another month to download the rest.

When I saw the Train Job when it originally aired. A bunch of parts hooked me. The first being the barfight, and it just continued on from there. Plus when Simon asks Kaylee what they are up to and she replies with complete innocence "Oh, crime."

I think the special hell line in OMR was the one that really got me Id only seen train job before and while that definately got me interested I think it was that line that really made me realise how great this show was gonna be.

I only saw four episodes originally. I kept thinking I could make the others up on Re-Runs (little did I know...)

What got me hooked?

No sounds in space. (Whoa... its got no sound!)

Chinese. (My friend Janet told me what they were saying...)

Ariel. (Holy Mother of God... Two by two, hands of blue)

River. (Why the hell doesn't anyone listen to her?!?)

And of course...

Take my love
Take my land
Take me to where
I cannot stand...

I dont care
I'm still free
You cant take
The Sky from me

Take me out to the black
Tell them I aint
Coming back

Burn the land and
Boil the sea
You cant take the sky from me

... well, you get the point.

** Hey, why aren't the Book and Mal intros on the DVDs?

I call her "Vera"
