Hey Jeff, welcome to the site! 
- always glad to see new recruits here.
I agree on your comparison of Firefly to Next Gen. Even Joss' two other shows - Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly - were a bit shaky to begin with. Firefly was excellent from the very start. It's an absolute crime that it was cancelled.
Glad to see another sci-fi geek on the board. I'm looking forward to reading your posts!

Hi, ShinyEd, thanks for the compliment of my signature pics of YoSaffBridge and Mal. It's my all time favorite scene. I actually have 3 of them that I alternate between every once in awhile. I am probably of similar age, but of course being a woman I'm like a fine old wine. Mature and in my prime. 
I don't have the talent or equipment to make the signature clips, but the wonderfull and talented DeskTopHippie, who posted a note right below you, does. She's the one who made me my signature graphics. As you can see from her signature, you can go to her website for more information. "Graphics available at www.desktophippie.com " She custom made mine. I'm adding it to this thread because there are probably other newbies that might be interested in finding out about signature pics.

I think part of the reason we feel so attached is because of the commraderie in the show. All the characters really form a type of family on that ship, and they can kind of escape on Serenity. I think everybody searches for that in some way or another.

Did anyone else go through a series of feelings when you first discovered Firefly?
First I got excited having found this beautiful gem. I wanted more and more. I came here to find more and more. Then I thought, we've got to get it back on the air. That all happened within a week. Then I got depressed thinking that some of you have been out here for 4 years! Then I got angry at the network. Very very angry. So angry I didn't want to torcher myself by watching it ever again. Then I felt a loss of a great friend and slowly can back. I hope I can one day find peace like some of you. Its only been a month and a half for me.

Yes, absolutely. I've liked and loved other tv shows in the past, but no show has ever sucked me in like Firefly.
My NonCoat friends (who like the show) just don't understand how such a short-lived, half-season series + movie continues to hold a fanbase...and CONTINUES to expand. I've tried to explain, but they just don't get it.

I'm new to the Serentiy/Firefly experience too. I'm 16, and had Buffy drip fed to me by my big brother, so big Joss Whedon fan already, but I'd only half heard of Firefly; I saw the series a couple of weeks ago at my boyfriends house when a friend of his brought it round. I refused to go home until I had watched all of it, and now I want my own copy. Looks like it's going to cost me a lot though, I'll probably have to go the e-bay route.
But damn, I love it, and can't figure out why it got cancelled!

FYI - You can get it from Amazon.com right now for 19.99, and I think Target has it for that price too.

Great!Thanks. I looked on one site and it was £27.99, and I was like... no. I love the show, but I'm on a teenagers income, and thats my whole weeks EMA in one go!
So thankyou! My wallet loves you

I watched three episodes again today. I am trying to determine my favorite. Never have I had such a difficult choice. Every episode is GREAT. So I will try to give a few favorites (in no particular order) and the reasons why:
The Message: Stirring, tear jerking. Jaynes hat. Poor Simon's awkward time with Kaylee by the cow fetus. Favorite line: Mal - "They don't like it when you shoot at 'em... I worked that out myself."
Safe: Heart wrenching. Simon climbing up on the plateform to hold his little sister and saying so matter of factly, "Light it." Favorite line: Mal - "Looks like we got here just in the knick of time. What's that make us?" Zoe - "Big damn heros, sir." Mal - "Ain't we just."
Ariel: Powerful. Illuminating. Favorite line: Zoe: "Clear."
As I feared, the more you watch them, the better they get. The 'Verse has got me... no question.
