Say "Thank you", Miss Conan.
I'll get my brother eventually. It just may take a bit, what with him living in freakin' Idaho and me having no intention of mailing him my DVDs to borrow.

Just tell him to buy them himself, and if he honestly doesn't like the show after watching all the episodes, you'll buy them from him. It's worked before...

Good. Thanks for the update.

Well let's see two married couples, two co-workers, and one of my gm's, (and three of them were in the 'Firefly game I ran recently) oh, and a complete stranger while at Best Buy...that's eight if my math is right...
With more to come (insert maniacal laughter here.)

Converted another friend this weekend. This guy was a real hold out, which is odd as he is a sci fi fan like me. I tried to loan him the DVDs several times, but he always came up w/ some excuse that he could not watch them.
So, this past Saturday night I invited him over w/ another friend I have already converted. When he showed up, we ordered pizza and sat down and watched "Serenity" & then "Train Job". He liked them so much, we wound up staying up until 3 am to watch four more episodes.
Needless to say he went home w/ discs 3 & 4 so he can watch the rest of the series.

Hey, I just though of something... Do people who are already avid Sci-Fi fans count as converts? They're only too easy to convert.

I am a convert of six people - and it took some doing. :)

All I had to do is nag some of the people to watch it. After that... things sort of took care of themselves.

I do, because this last guy does not like Buffy or Angel and is a die hard Star Wars/Star Trek type and goes for the big flashy battle scenes. He is not much into the lower budget sci fi shows.
Keep in mind too that not all sci fi fans like Firefly, if they did, there would be a lot more of us Browncoats.

That's true I guess.
I met this one guy online who's a huge sci-fi fan but he didn't like Firefly. His reason: No aliens.
In his mind, Firefly wasn't propper Sci-fi... To which I replied and asked him if he didn't think that movies like Bladerunner and Gattaca were sci-fi either then... those movies being void of aliens and all? He never replied. Go figure.

Apparently I'm a bit of a freak because I don't really consider Firefly to be sci-fi. Sure, there's the spaceships, which does tend to put it in the sci-fi category, but I think it's more Western than sci-fi. I don't just mean the clothes or the speech -- it just feels more Western to me than sci-fi. Vague enough for ya?
And HEY! Got another one!
I took disc one over to my friend's house for her birthday, and after The Train Job, she said, "So are you gonna go home and get the other discs?"
Yippee!
