Well I saw the BDM before I saw the show so the moment it hooked me was when Wash had his little speech with his beloved dinos. That lovely moment was immediatly followed by the realization that he (in the Firefly timeline) had a short time to live.

I too saw the BDM before I saw the series. I fell in love with the series as soon as I saw the movie preview with the Wash & Mal exchange:

Wash: This could get interesting
Mal: Define interesting.
Wash: Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die?
Mal into the comm: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

And that was it. Love. I went out and bought the series DVD as soon as I got out of the cinema. Thank the stars I saw it on DVD where the episodes are in order and none are excluded.

I too knit cunning Jayne hats:

For starters I WANT YOUR HAT
of course with no knitting talents such things may be difficult to come by.

Now, there wasn't one moment that made me fall in love with the show. I can name many many moments from every episode that keep me in love with the show. So in love with it that even when they *killed* off Wash I continued to stick by it. Though everytime I watch the movie I can't help asking WHY!! WHY DID THEY KILL HIM?!?!?! At which point someone tells me to shut up..
I especially love the part in Our Mrs...when Mal wakes up from the good night kiss and it comes to the topic of kissing and Book says o so there was kissing...isn't that SPECIAL Omg I laughed So hard!

(I remember watching the space channel on TV years ago and they were interviewing this chick who was wearing Jaynes hat. At the time I had no idea who Jayne was or what the show they were talking about entailed but for some reason that memory stuck with me *creepy*. When I first saw that hat I thought it was the prettiest hat in the 'verse)

That nerdy hat

While not a "hook" in and of itself, i'm kinda surprised nobody's mentioned Mal takin a leak in the pilot.. it struck me at that point that this was NOT the clean, perfect, orderly universe of bland, conventional "sci-fi" snorefests.

Caught it the first time around, and Crow through the engine was prettymuch it for me, that and watching Mal and Inara go rounds when everybody BUT them knows exactly what the deal is.... having JUST gone through that stage and soon after carried it to the logical conclusion with the soon to be wife.

Everybody BUT YOU knows you love each other.

The very first time I saw it. For the first few minutes I thought Mal was too pretty and I was only half-watching. Then the situation took a strange but completely realistic turn, the acting got serious, and I was hooked.

There are probably a few - as it seems there are for everyone, but for me, when Simon tries to help River when she comes out of the cryo box shaking and screaming and he says, "It's okay, I'm here."

Yup, that clinched it for me ... then, Simon's speech explaining what happened and River sticking her tongue out at him when he gives her a smoother.

It was all downhill from there!

Well, considering I saw Serenity first, the thing that really made me say, "Whoah. This is something awesome," was when the Agent hits Mal in the back when they're fighting in Mr Universe's place. That turning point between thinking, "Holy crap, is EVERYONE going to die?!" to "Holy crap, everyone is NOT going to die! Huzzah!"

I mean, it was the first science fiction movie that actually had me rooting for the good guys. And one of the only movies in a long time that had me caring about the main characters.

After leaving the theatre I decided that I needed to buy Firefly right away. And then when I started watching the very first episode I was swept away.

I have no idea how I found out about Firefly.
I remember wanting the Serenity DVD. I don't know why. I hadn't seen the series, probably didn't know there was one.
My natural response to when were you hooked is the opening crew sequence of Serenity - by the time we were down in the cargo bay, it was just that - WE. I had been sailing with them for years.

But the truth came slightly sooner. When Doctor wassface says 'I don't have a sword' as the Operative pulls his out. I remember my brain switching on shouting Yes Yes YES at me.

I bought Firefly on Jan 2nd 2007, and am gently but firmly making everyone I know watch it. No one has yet been disappointed. Myself, I have watched it at least 6 times in from start to finish, and am constantly dipping into it.

It was either Mals 'Hueh' at seeing River or Kaylees new belly button or possibly the contraband strawberries that put the smug grin on my face saying 'aren't I the cool one for finding this hidden gem'.

I first saw Serenity the movie, and I thought it was pretty good, but not brilliant, more than likely because I didn't know the back story, so Books death and the rescue mission to save Inara meant nothing to me.
Coincidentally enough a friend lent me the first 2 discs of the boxed set a few days later, and I watched them but I accidentally started with train job first. I thought it was good until I saw Safe and River's beautiful "you found me broken" speech, its at that point I realized that it was an unconventional and very original show. I only watched the pilot after Jaynestown, thats when it all fell into place. I devoured the other episodes, my favourites being Out of Gas, Ariel, and Objects.
I almost cried after Objects, River offering to leave, the end of the series...
Now I want to see the movie again, properly.

I'll be in my bunk.
Jayne! Grab you're weapon

I went over to a mates house ages ago and he had the box set, so i got to start with the pilot which i am so thankful of, seeing the show in order from first to last was brilliant. But the part that made me fall in love was in the pilot, where Mal gets told that there won't be any back up coming, and also the part straight after that, it's years later, and they're taking supplies from that abandoned ship and the alliance spots them, so they release the cry baby. SUCKED IN I TELL YOU!
