im not sure when my exact moment was, I like many was a late bloomer when it was on fox I bairly knew it existed, a show about cowboys in space, it sounded as lame as so many other shows being peddled at the time. im not even sure I actually cought a full episode.
it was later when scifi showed the firefly marathon before serenity was released, I watch alot of scifi and I had a clear day so I grabed some snacks and drinks sat back.
by the end of the marathon something was... different. an odd sensation... many emotions...
still in shock absorbing what I saw.. it took a little while for what I just saw to soften and penetrate years of lame one dimention shows and shows about special effects instead great story telling.
Then a few days later this subtle infection/transformation hit me like lightning and WOW!
from then on Ive been a browncoat ive learned alot about the plight of firefly and the steel like resolve of joss wheton and the actors and actresses (something you dont see) usually when a show is canceled people move on.
not so with firefly that little ember just would NOT die out (oh god how they tried!) in the face of overwhelming odds firefly defies the normal laws of hollywood and its now 5 years after the single season series was canceled and its more popular now than ever!
I also purchassed the movie and the firefly DVD set and recently the companion book
I routinly inject firefly/serenity into every place I can im even on an NBC study group that i do surveys about TV I told them firefly "is" my #1 show
my life was made a little better by having been apart of joss's creation.
When you cant run your walk
when you cant walk you crawl
when you cant crawl your fans will carry you
thank you joss and the crew of firefly
