I'm right there with you Chris. No other show before or since has had an effect on me like Firefly. Nothing can replace it in my heart.

Just this past weekend, for no particular reason, I watched the movie Serenity, and episodes The Train Job & Ariel. The episodes still thrill and surprise me even after so many viewings.

Important?! It's downright essencial to livin'. Why, can't imagine a day without hearing the Ballad of Serenity. Well, mainly cause I haves it as a ringy tones on this here mobile phone.

Seriously. Firefly has never waned in importance. It needs to come back to the small screen or the big screen. I just does. We've done the impossible, let's do it again...just to be sure.

Hi everyone, I just discovered Firefly about a week ago as a result of The Sarah Conner Chronicals and Summer Glau (she is what makes that show work). Amazon Unboxed mentioned that she got the part based on her fight scenes in Serenity which lead me to look into that and Firefly. I rented the first two discs from Netflix and then rushed out on Easter because I couldn't wait any longer to see the rest. I was up until midnight watching the other episodes and Serenity. Now I'm depressed that there is no more. I haven't watched much TV in the past several years but I am very sorry I missed out on this show when it was on the air although I did get to see it as Whedon intended.

"Firefly was the first show that I felt--no, I NEEDED--to tell people about. It was like, if I didn't share this fantastic show I would feel like I was doing a disservice to everyone else."

I couldn't agree more Faith. I've talked to several of my friends about it, I almost feel like I'm proselytizing!

Seems I missed Firefly when it was on Fox. I saw one episode and never watched again. A little thing in Iraq messed that up. Came across it being re-run on the Sci Fi channel. Had to get the box set. Gorramn! that was a great show. Never fails get into something then it's gone. Thanks to firefly I take cold showers cause of Morena Baccarin. WOW!
Take care fellow browncoats!
BDH!
P.S. Screw Gorramn Fox!

Consider me officially "sounded off." There have been other great shows *coughDRIVEcough* but this one was special in a way I have yet to reencounter. It was different than anything else I had and have (and probably will) seen. I was with it from episode 1...Well, technically 2...so, I was with it from DAY one, and I'll always stand by it!

^^ I'm with ya on Drive. I was lovin' how that show started and the poof! Gorramit!

I finally saw the Serenity early last year and was blown away, of course. Watched it a few times and then learned that it came from a TV series that I had missed out on (was married back then and was probably stuck watching Trading Spaces or some shit like that). Anyway, I got Firefly from amazon and been loving it ever since. I too am sad to know that there aren't any more eps to watch. Watched the whole series (again) last weekend and I'm still catchin' more details in dialog or action that makes me love it all even more. To me it's a combination of the wonderfully diverse and deeply developed characters and the fact that the "scifiness" doesn't force itself on the viewer, it's so natural. It's so efin rich!

I STILL watch Firefly and ever since it first started until the end of time, I will love Firefly and Jayne will always be my big damn hero!!

The whole cast and crew was amazing on that show and Joss Whedon is a pure genius. My interest in that show just increases every time I watch it. In fact, I watched a few episodes yesterday.

I simply love Firefly. I LOVE IT. Nothing will change that!!

I watched the "pilot" when it aired, and I am sorry to say I didn't get it. It seemed a mis-mash of elements just thrown together. Like Joss rushed to get a new show on the air. (Why if they have space ships are folks packed in trains like that?)

Later I learned Fox spooged it up and FORCED him to rush "Train Job" through production and make it the pilot. It explained a lot, and produced the weakest episode.

Once I discovered the whole thing I was hooked. I will be making my very own brown coat in the next couple of months. (Talented seamstress friend visiting from PA to CT for the weekend just for that.) I don't care if I never get to a shindig, I just want the brown coat. I can't explain it, I just need it.

There is a special place in hell where those responsible for screwing up FF, next to the child molesters, and those who talk in the theater.

To share a bit of my particular FF mania. In the movie, after Simon is wounded and River says "You've always taken care of me, now it's my turn." When she utters those words the lights of the complex come back on, and River is bathed in light. At that moment she finds her light. It chokes me up every time, watching her find herself in that moment.

What can I say, I'm a believer. (Soon to be a believer with a "shiny" new coat.)

See you in the world,

Leif
