I didn't like Inara. She just seemed like a useless, unhelpful piece of decoration. Wait a minute, I still don't like Inara.

I realize that this may not be a popular position.

Don't worry you are not alone. Inara is the character I like the least the only semi good thing about her is the chemistry with Mal but since I don't like her I dont think that I want them to be together...eh oh well

remember that a kick in the ass is a step forward

*holds up hand* I didn't either, she grew on me in the series and I don't mind her now though i think the actress is fantastic, but in all honesty in the movie all i thought was that she was the one character i actually forgot was there.

Book-he both intruiged me and put me off at the same time though in all fairness the put off could have come from reading a creepified Book fanfic halfway through rewatching *shudders*

I never had a problem with Book dying, and ::deep breath:: I'll miss Wash if anything ever comes back, but I can live without him. Don't flame me.

When I first saw Firefly, I DESPISED the opening music - too Westerny. I wanted something more like Serenity, a sci fi in space! Not so much western stuff. Odd how I mostly had a problem with the opening, but the rest was all right (though the first episode I ever saw was Our Mrs. Reynolds, and I did NOT like that covered wagon opening thing).
Of course, now I'm properly converted and stuff.

Sorry, but I'm still a bigger Ringer than Browncoat, and I always will place The Lord of the Rings at the top.

The very first time I saw an ad for Firefly, I rolled my eyes. "A Sci-fi and Western hybrid? It'll never work." I had seen some Buffy and Angel episodes and knew it wouldn't work. (Shows how much I know! LOL) I didn't think the guy who wrote those would know anything about sci-fi. (Now who's taking an unpopular position???)

I only came across Firefly by accident, halfway through the season. Though I can't remember exactly which episode it was I saw, I knew I was hooked at the end of Ariel, when Mal and Jayne face off. I realized that the Sci-fi/Western paradox did work precisely because it wasn't cliche.

I got Zoe, though. The character was never a 'problem' for me. I think Gina does an amazing job breaking all kinds of stereotypes with her character. When I saw her in the white dress at the end of the movie, though, that capped it...that made Zoe dimensional to me -- that deep under that thick skin was a softness for her Washburn I never noticed much in the TV series. You knew she loved him (War Stories), and they had the physical chemistry, but I couldn't 'get' how they were beyond that.

All this time and I'm still getting to know these characters. Shows how much I know...thank God.

As others have said, I never really found Inara as a likeable character. She was always pompous and annoying, and not in the same way that Simon was. Plus most of the scenes with her and her clients were just...not intersting to me.

This isn't a guilt to me, and it'd be no surprise to anyone who knows me that I never catered to Simon or River. Still don't, (though I don't hate River as much) Maybe if Simon was played by someone else but whatever the character just annoys the hell out of me and I wish Joss had killed him off instead of Wash, I would have been shocked but not at all upset.

And Kaylee and Simon? No, only because I just don't SEE the attraction between them or the actors. Sean seems almost wooden when he's acting romantic with her(no, not that way perverts) It's painful to watch their make out scene at the end of the movie. There's more spark between Simon and River (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, no wot I mean?) And when he's not around River he seems rather..... flamboyant.

I would have helped Jayne turn them in.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

When I first watched the show, I thought Serenity was very awkward-looking. Just didn't strike me as anything a spaceship should look like. 'Course, being a recovering Trekkie and a Star Wars fan to the grave, I had an improperly sized frame of reference.

And then I saw the last shot in 'Out of Gas'.

As with undoubted many Browncoats, Serenity then took on a whole new beauty for me, and brought to my face the biggest pathetically-obsessed-fanboyish grin when it appeared for the first time in the BDM. Now I can't watch it fly across my screen without smiling dreamily. (Can't watch River smile without the same result, but that's another confession....)

My biggest Firefly confession. I first saw the show when the episode Ariel originally aired. I wathched two minutes that flipped the channel. Later after discovering the Buffyverse a friend said to me Joss Whedon has a better series than showed me her DVD. She started with Ariel, her favorite episode, After watching I realized the mistake I made.

Well, while we're confessing...

I was told about Firefly while it was playing on Fox by several fellow players on an online MU game I'm on. I ignored them when they insisted it was a good show. My reasoning: "Please...they're nice folks, but they can't -possibly- be serious about a Science Fiction Western. Twang and gun-play in space. Ugh.

Second chance anyone?
Serenity is released. Said fans are -screaming- about the movie on my MU game. I'm actually debating seeing the durn thing if only to make my best MU friend squeal. She'd been trying so hard to get me into FF for almost two years...Then a player who I despise - who's life's mission is to torment me with sarcastic cum moronic comments by the way - decided to comment that he's the only real Browncoat because it takes a real intellectual like himself to understand the nuances of such a program...I know, I shouldn't have let it color my opinion, but I did. I closed my mind and heart.

Third time's the charm.
Thank all the Gods for my DVR and my roommates love of good music. He was surfing for something new and stumbled on one of those late night, Sci-Fi, FF marathons and decided he liked the theme song enough to record it...Luckily for both of us, he was too bleary-eyed to realize he wasn't setting a one time recording but a series/title recording. When I got home -he- was raving about this show he got five episodes of by accident and oh, it's called Firefly... Insert me blinking back the shock...

And the rest is history.

I think my mad FF/BDM purchasing spree is my way of apologizing for my past mistakes.

And that jerk is STILL a jerk, even if he is a Browncoat.

To be honest, he's the only jerk Browncoat I've ever met.
