Short and sweet. The theme song. Joss Whedon's theme song, "Ballad of Serenity." First time I heard it, that's when I knew I was hooked.

But I was reminded again when I got the DVD's with this delivery from "Serenity":

MAL
Kaylee's dead.

He is steely, contained. Simon is shocked, quietly devastated.

Mal turns and walks toward the bridge. A moment, and Simon starts in a daze for the infirmary, running, unable to accept it as he enters:

INT. INFIRMARY - CONTINUING

To find Kaylee sitting up a bit, talking weakly but happily with Book. Simon turns and looks out where Mal left, true shock in his eyes.

SIMON
(panting)
That man's psychotic.

INT. BRIDGE - MOMENTS LATER

Mal, Wash, Jayne and Zoe are all laughing hysterically.

WASH
You are psychotic.
MAL
No, but you should have seen his
face... Oh... I'm a bad man.

-Hiro

There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity...
You can't take the sky from me...

Lets see... I did manage to catch a few of the episodes on Fox. Didn't really pay much attention, just enough to think "hey, cool show."

Then, after star trek had been going down hill... I found out that Space had started airing Firefly on mondays at 9pm (I have sent them an email thanking them for this ;) ), so i thought "Hmm... sci-fi replacement?

And so I watched it on my big blue bean bag chair in front of my big ol tv screen. No distractions. Pure firefly.

And it was the best tv watching EVER. No see through plot, no predictable adventure, just the best tv show ever made. I watched every monday (and still do, even though I have the dvd's). I still watch an episode a day just because I love it so damn much.

My name is sneaker. And I am addicted to firefly.

As the show has not yet been on air over here in germany, I've seen it first on DVD (and in the right order starting with the pilot for that matter ).
I was curious about this new Joss Whedon show because I like his other work, especially BTVS.
I liked the pilot and thought that it was a pretty good show, but I got really hooked the time I reached OMR, which is still my fav episode.
I think it was that scene with Mal and Saffron in Mal's living room...
When I finished watching all DVDs I started right back at the beginning, something that has never happened to me before with any movie or tv series, and I knew that this was very special. Since then, I'm addicted to Firefly

My girl's prodding me to add her responses.

Book and Rivers "Bad hair day" moment is what did it for her.

"HAIR!!!"

Whenever I see an afro or something, I have an urge to shout out (And I do, sometimes) THE HAIR!! There's too much!

When was I first hooked? I don't remember -- what was the original air date?

"You didn't have to wound that man."
"Yeah, I know. It was just funny."

I was a Firefly fan from the first commercial I saw for it.

Usually in our house, one of the kids (kids, now 21 and 22 and bigger than me) gets interested in a show, and infects us all with the fandom. I avoided Buffy, thought the concept was, well, not for me, till daughter made me sit through a couple episodes. She did the same to us for ER as well.

[And then when we got real into Buffy, she kinda backed away. Weird}

Anyway, I see this commercial for a science fiction show. That pings my sonar. Find out its also a western, okay, that sounds interesting. And then it was by Joss, and that was it, I was sold before Train Job.

And I still feel like it is my show. I am the one that got the rest of the family to watch it, got them interested.

But I also seem to have bad luck. Any time I like a show, it gets cancelled way too early. So, for that, I am sorry folks.
