Being a huge sci-fi fan I never saw firefly while it was on network tv. My first time I saw anything relating to the "verse" was in a movie previw for Serenity. When I saw the movie preview, I thought "that looks interesting" so I went out and bought the DVD's. After I saw the Pilot, I was holy *&^*&* how did I not know about this show. I believe it is one of the biggest mistakes of a canceled sci-fi show in history. One of the few truly original sci-fi shows in history.

For me, it was the BDM. I had totally missed the Firefly series on TV, remember seeing the TV commercials for 'Serenity' but didn't go see it. I know, I feel horrible!
However, I decided to rent Serenity on DVD when it first came out at Blockbuster. Watched it once and then I was hooked! I think what first made me fall in love with this show was the whitty writing and incredibly great acting. I really liked Mal's character within seconds of seeing him on screen the first time! I could just tell that this group was special.
Needless to say, I really liked the movie, all the characters, and HAD to know more about this 'verse'!
I went straight out and bought the BDM and Firefly series on DVD and was hooked forever!
So, I have to say that there was no single scene or line that made me fall in love with this 'verse', it is the 'whole' that I love and I love EVERYTHING about it!
"You wanna run this ship?"
"Yes"
"Well,...you can't"

Sadly I am a late Browncoat, because we do't get Fox tv here in SA and the movie was never officially released at the cinema. They advertised it and then it never came on T.T
But I remember working on my PC while watching TV and the BDM was the 8 pm movie. I was the first movie in a long time which I've actually watched without doing something else, it just looked so good.
The "Was that my primary buffer panel? Well, it did look like it." And I was had, then with Jayne and his grenades and after that the "Shinet, lets be bad guys!" And I was hooked!
XD Best movie EVER!
"Shiney, lets be bad guys!"

I don't remember an exact point when I fell in love. It was gradual I suppose. I read a quote from someone (Tim Minear I think) where it said It gets under your skin. That was so true for me.
One thing I have to admit to though is that Firefly is the only show that can ever make me cry from sheer love and because of it's beauty.

For me definatley serenity (the pilot) Hard to pick one bit just the whole thing although the bit where the young soldier gets shot as the alliance destroy serenity valley just made me think this is so wrong I'm going to love it. Then it just kept getting better

This might be cheating a bit but I actually found out about the movie before I even knew there was a series.
I work at a hotel and had finished watching something on HBO... I remember hearing some girl screaming and by the time I got over to the tv the serenity logo was showing up.
The moment that got me was when Mal made his announcement about turbulence and then... exploding! I remember seeing him on tv before and that line just made me laugh and go, "I really want to watch this movie!"
I wanted to watch it so much that turned the tv off right then... I didn't want to watch part of it only to be interrupted by work. I went to Walmart later that week and bought the movie.
Then of course I started searching the net for Serenity props... I'm a huge prop builder/collector... and found out about the series. Just happened by it in target one night, I figured it would've been more expensive. One of the best purchases I have ever made!!!!
I'm only a little over halfway finished with firefly. I watched War Stories last night. I guess I'm taking my time with it because when I finish that... there may not be any more. I HOPE there is though! We're obviously causing a little stir due to the uber shiny Collector's edition comming out.
I absolutely LOVE this show! Kinda glad I didn't see Fox's butchering of it... much better to see it all in neat and tidy order.
Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down. Tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her home.

I watched the show out of order and enjoyed every episode, but the moment that sticks out in my mind is from 'War Stories' when Zoe hands over Mal's ear to the Dr and announces they are going to get the captain. Jayne's reply, looking at the ear "what are you going to do? Clone him?'
Priceless

ME!! Everyone who watches it with me does the same thing and I have to keep from commenting. Even people who grudgingly watch it with me-- and I think "Hah, you like it! Told ya so!"
