What is it about firefly that just compels people to spread the good word. I have loved shows before but I have never felt this burning need to share my obsession with others... Is it just that we are convinced of the quality and characters or is it the fact that it was cancelled long before its time?

Considering I saw Serenity before I saw Firefly, I can't say the show had me first. However, I think the moment I remember the most was when Shepherd Book said, right before he died "I don't care what you believe...Just beleive." It was like a moment of pure...realization. I knew I had to finish watching the movie.
(That and I thought Sean Maher was super cute. But it was definently the Book quote that got me.)

"You are pretty funny."
"And you're pretty...pretty."
"What did you just say?"
"I said that you were pretty."

In the future there will be a nursing home/asylum where only Browncoats will be admitted. And we will spend all day rewatching episodes and talking about our favourite lines/scenes/moments/characters.
Because by then our brains will be mush, our bones will be creaking and we'll have forgotten what we said minutes after we said it.
Something to look forward to.
Back on topic: The series got me although it wasn't the scene where Crow got kicked in the engine. That seems to be fave amongst most folks.
I can't really say where exactly it got me.I'm UK bred so I knew the show had been cancelled before Scifi started showing it. And before each episode I told myself that it really wasn't worth my time to continue watching. But I did. If I had to pick it may have been Bushwacked when I really got the idea that River was psychic. That and Jaynestown being so gorram hi-larious.
"I don't believe in suicide, but if you'd like to try it it might cheer me up to watch."

Saw the BDM first, didn't know about the series.
Saw the end of Ariel on a Sci Fi marathon, the scene with Mal and Jayne getting dead was an eye-opener.

Is there somewhere I can sign up for that, or do we just show up with creaky bones, old brown coats, and ragged cunning hats?

I found the movie confusing, it was the first thing I saw and I couldn't understand why this bunch of different people stayed on the ship, Mal clearly didn't like having River on the shipso why not leave them on the planet and how do Jayne and Kailley get on? it just felt unnatural and very unlikley, I also couldn't understand why Mal whent to Book for advice!
But the series got me! we bought the box set and couldn't stop watching!! how could I choose a certain moment?! all of the above quotes are awesome!

I'm at work today and its been killing me that I've not been able to put these thoughts down till now!
My - one of- Favourite scenes is when Jayne is Paralysed on Simons table and he gives this long speach about being able to trust him because he's a doctor blah blah blah then he leaves and river adds 'also, i can kill you with my brain.'
BRILLIANT!!

I saw the Series when it first aired on the SciFi channel. I was hooked when Kaylee ran into the engine room to shut things down, got up to that corner, lights went off and she said, " Ok, now I can't get down."
