Honestly... how often do you watch Firefly or Serenity???

Just watched the movie last Sunday with a bunch of browncoats. The real problem is that we get together once a month to watch an episode. So, I never want to watch one that is coming up in the next showing. So, I end up watching them out of order and there isn't as much draw to watch them that way. At least not to me. Plus I'm trying to get caught up on too much other tv.

I watch too often!! For the last few months (since about August) I think I was watching either an episode or the movie 2-3 times a week.

Also, I have this "thing" where I can't fall asleep without the TV on (if I don't my thoughts take over, and I get too wound up to sleep - I'm a very anxious person). Lately I've been keeping the BDM in the DVD player in my bedroom, so I turn that on as I'm trying to fall asleep. I start it at different scenes each night, because I always fall asleep about 15-30 minutes in. That way I'm not always watching (or listening) to the first 15 minutes. I can't watch something I've never seen before or I get so involved I can't fall asleep. Watching something I've seen before acts more like a sound machine - its there for background noise and to lull me to sleep.

Maybe that's why I can probably recite the movie line for line...

Plus, about once a month I have a mini-marathon of the series, and watch an entire disk of episodes all in one sitting. Since I have a rule that I have to be productive if I have the TV on, I usually get a lot done - knitting, drawing, paying bills, etc. Got my Jayne hat done during one of the mini-marathons!

I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass...

Saw the movie twice, when it was in the theaters. Saw the Firefly episodes once, when I rented them. Haven't had time to do more. Bought all the DVDs, but have not viewed them yet. Lent them out a few times, to good effect. Plan to watch them all, someday.

I pick a series, watch a season and move to another series. Firefly and Buffy get the most repeats.

If I can't decide, I pick a movie.. watch it.. then pick another series.

Between all that, playing golf, building RC cars, computing, talking to my grandchildren, I just don't have time for a life...

I'm with ya on most of your TV viewing habits, but I never saw Joan of Arcadia - how is it?

Also, if you like those series, you might want to check out Tru Calling 1-2 (Eliza Dushku stars) and Profit (Adrian Pasdar stars). Profit was David Greenwalt's show, and parts of it will feel familiar to all those who know of the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart. :)



Remember, Kiddies, you can't spell "QUAGMIRE" without "I", "R", "A", & "Q"!

I watche the whole series about once a year. I'm a netflix junkie, so I've always got stuff to watch.

I do have all the eps on my iPod, so I tend to throw one on whenever I'm stuck waiting for something.

I watch the series now twice a year, but the movie about once a month- sometimes I skip a month though- don't want it gettin' old for me.

I'm actually on course with Hells Kitchen. I haven't watched the series since the movie (I of course watched it to get keyed up and to make it seems like a continuity.... which it was not)

I did tape them all when they were re-run on Space (Canada) in order, strating with Serenity the pilot and the order of the dvd's (good on ya Space for doing it proper) This was well before news of the DVD's were coming out so while other people were going through major withdrawels waiting for the DVD's I just had to pop in my videa cassette (complete with Mal and Book's Earth That Was speech)

Then the dvd's came out, which I asked for xmas even though I din't have a DVD player (but got one of those as well) and played it quite a bit.

But now, with all the time that's past I really haven't had any interest (shockers) They're there, in my collection. Maybe my interest will come back soon. Or I'll just pop in the videa's and listen to Mal or Bokk's speech.

As for the movie. Watched it once. Put it away, watched it another time, then once more with commentary, and...... hat's enough for me.

My viewership is cyclical. When I got the DVDs, show and movie, I watched them once through. Then I got sucked into other stuff. Then I found some fellow browncoats and watched again. Then I got hooked on something else.

For a while I was watching an episode a day. Now, I've a new movie obsession. err...Jonathan Rhys Meyers obsession. So, firefly has been shelved for a while. I'll come back to it soon enough tho.


Oh! And I could watch the CE movie with commentary a hundred times over. It's too funny.

Me too, Chris. The CE is my most favorite shiny new thing still.

I'm on a par with you too on watching. When I first discovered the series and got the DVD's I watched them every day for weeks. That finally slacked off and now I watch it about twice a year. The CE was a constant player for a while after I first got it, but it's now put away to be gotten out upon occasion. Like you, so I won't overdo it.

I have new things that I love too, not as much as Firefly but I do love them... so I've moved forward ( as opposed to on ).
