I was late to the party so it was River climbing to the ceiling that got me to buy the dvd's, but after that what hooked me on the show was going from a BEAUTIFUL spacewalk sequence to "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" That combination was all it took!

My brother got the series for my mom's birthday and since my mom and sister quickly got hooked, they made me watch the first one. I'm not really one for shooting and violence so I was kinda skeptical. But during the first episode, I loved the part where the Mal tells Simon that Kaylee is dead and he goes running, then Kaylee's cute little wave and the rest of them cracking up. It was a brilliant move by the captain to test the doctor's character and it was just hilarious.

So then I fell in love with each of the characters as they were developed and formed this little family. Jayne was my least favorite character until Jaynestown and then I fell in love with him too. Jayne & Mal's talk at the end was the point at which I fell utterly in love with the whole thing and I watched the rest of the episodes within the matter of a day.

I bought Serenity the next day and loved it. I really want to see more of Mal and Inara's romance. I really want to see more episodes and another movie.

I watched Firefly for the first time totally by accident about 2 weeks before Serenity came out in the UK. I was channel-hopping and it was on the Sci-Fi channel, and I thought "ooh, that's a Joss Whedon show" and decided to watch after being a Buffy and Angel fan from the start.

The episode I caught was Heart of Gold and I think I decided to order the boxset when Rance Burgess' expensive Alliance-looking gun ran out of batteries. I knew it was my kind of my show!

Hi all ~
First post, first read of the forum, too.
Here we go:

I remember reading a list of quotes people had put together on some other film list, and thought, whatever this show is, I've got to see it. The writing looks fab.
Previously I've been into all kindsa things, from Xena to DS9, old Battlestar Galactica (as a kid, who weren't?) to Star Wars, new Doctor Who etc. I thought the ship for me were the Millenium Falcon. Naw, it's Serenity, LOL
I do have a thing for Aston Martins (should throw that in there), and for me a Firefly is a DB6 in space, LOL

I'm in Hong Kong so we have hee-haw chance of seeing it on tele. I BT'd the pilot from the net and after that went straight out and bought the boxed set.

Mal shooting the Fed without appearing to check: I'm sold.
"We're too pretty to die": I'm sold.
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty": I'm sold.

And pretty much about every other line that comes up, LOL
My favourite has to be some of the Chinese. It's hard to catch sometimes cos the delivery in't so precise at times (ahem) and it's Mandarin, which was never my strong suit, but imagine the characters in your head and you've got it, LOL
My favourite has to be the exploding elephant shit, or perhaps the frog-humping bum, LOL

And that's me done. Sorry it were so long. So many fab moments. Still not seen "Objects in Space" or the film ~ if I actually watch the last episode, then it's really over! If I never watch it, it's never finished. If you see what I mean...

P.S., ironic that Chinese text doesn't display properly on this forum....

"Dammit Mal, I forgot ma line!"

I'm with a lot of you people saw the film first not sure what really hooked me except it was the humour like
operative "I'm not armed"
Mal "Good" shoots him.
or of course
"define interesting"
"oh god oh god were all gonna die"
and so many more.
Rented the first disc and was hooked, quirky 'verse, chinise cussin, wild west spceships you're kiddin right?

he's Lookin to shoot some folk

The moment I was hooked was the moment Mal lost anything and everything. I knew it wasn't going to be a 'we're the main characters, so we unexplainably always rule you' kind of show at that point. I like it when the heroes in a book or show get kicked. Shows you they're human. The shock, horror, realization, and despair on Mal's face just did it for me. And if that hadn't been enough to hook me, Eavesdown Docks would have finished the job.

Off the top of my head, the first time I heard River speak made me fall in love with the show. There's so many other reasons that I fell in love with it, but defenitely everything about River is one of the main reasons.

Hi all, first post and very late to the party. I saw the film first, really liked it, but was there a backstory to these guys...? That was a while ago. Finally got round to buying "Firefly" last weekend, watched the last episode last night (sob) and now I'm in love....

I've only seen the episodes once (will be starting again tonight), but the deep hook for me was Kaylee standing outside Serenity with her parasol looking for passengers. And then Shepherd Book turns up and I just thought, this is going to be such a great ensemble piece.

Also the part where we find out what Inara does and its more respectable than everyone else - I just loved that.

My other (shallow) reason is that I'm utterly smitten with Mal, but then I gather I'm not alone there.

I absolutely fell in love when I saw the crew being interrogated by the Alliance in Bushwacked. What an amazing and hilarious scene! I knew from the other episodes that Firefly was great but that part of Bushwacked just sealed the deal for me. Instead of being just hooked...I was REALLY hooked.
