I, like most all of you, really love the feeling of the Firefly 'verse. It's really cool when I find something totally unrelated to the show that has the same feel, or message, or philosophy.

For example, when I first heard Death Cab For Cutie's new(ish) song, "I Will Follow You In To The Dark", it felt just like Firefly. It made me feel the same way I do when I watch the show. First off, the way death is referred to in the song as "the dark" is parallel to the way space is referred to on the show as "the black". Second, it fits with the way people really love each other on the show (in romantic and non-romantic ways), and how they really would - and do - "follow [each other] into the dark". It just kills me; it's great.

So I'm asking everyone to share things that they have encountered that have special meaning for you because you associate it with our favorite show.

oh, P.S. I'm new here, and I've read some really long posts all the way through, which is significant, because I've never done that before on other sites. I like it here.

Welcome to the site! I'll let you know that it is really fun here, and I hope you enjoy it.

As for stuff that reminds me of Firefly, I'd have to say that whenever I see someone wearing blue gloves, I think of those creepy guys in Ariel. It's kinda weird to see someone like making sandwiches or something and you're thinking they can melt your brain...

Welcome igotahamster!

I'm pretty sure we all share your feelings about Firefly. Lately I can't think of anything that doesn't remind me of Firefly or Serenity. Everytime somebody talks to me they unknowingly make some sort of Firefly reference. I remember I time I was trying to convince my friend Rhys to watch the pilot with me, he was reluctant so I told him, "There's a whore". He replied, "Let's watch" he sounded exactly like Jayne in HoG. Actually Rhys is like Jayne in alot of ways so I guess he naturally reminds me of Firefly.

This is fun. I live in Atlanta, and near by, there's a town named 'Canton'. ( I think there's a Canton in every state, but oh well. ) Also, there' a fairly big bank that opened up a while back , named 'Haven'.

There's other stuff too, but I can't think of 'em right now.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I work at a major home improvent / hardware retailer in the US.

I am a cashier sometimes .. the other day someone bought some of the unpowdered blue latex gloves when checking out with me.

I hummed "two by two ..." to myself

Everything reminds me of Firefy. Seriously.

Example: Today I was watching the movie Celluar on Encore. The lady slashes the guy's arm with a pice of glass. He quickly begins to lose strength, and looks at her stupidly:
"What'd you do to me?"

"9th grade biology: the [some artery]. It drains 30 gallons of blood a minute. There are only 5 in the human body."

I then turned to my dad who was watching with me and, full of Browncoaty excitement, practically shouted in his face:

"THE HUMAN BODY CAN BE DRAINED OF BLOOD IN 8.6 SECONDS GIVEN ADEQUATE VACCUMING SYSTEMS!!!!!!"

When in doubt, consult the hamster.

Also, I can kill you with my brain

Good to have you here!

Well there are a lot of songs that remind me of Firefly/Serenity. (cheesy moment) 'Rhiannon' by Fleetwood Mac, 'Insect Eyes' by Devendra Banhart, 'Zombie' The Cranberries. In fact I am now inspired to do a Firefly playlist! Even this one song by Fergie because in one verse she says 'peace, serenity'

How are ships unlike food?
1. If you try it and don't like it, you don't have to do it again.
2. You can have as much as you want, when you want.
3. Cravings can be very specific.
I mean, hello it's not as if there's 'ship police?

I used to donate plasma for some extra scratch, and they switched to blue latex gloves. That was before Serenity came out, and after I had pretty much put Firefly out of my head. I came in to donate and saw them and it gave me an uneasiness but wasn't sure why. And they usually had two people working the counter and for some reason unbeknownst to me I walked up to the counter to check in and blurted out "two by two, hands of blue." Needless to say they had no clue what I was referencing and neither did I, in point of fact. About halfway through my donation it all came flooding back to me like one of River's memories. A couple of months later it came full circle when I saw reruns on Sci-Fi in preparation of the movie.
