I missed 2-3 first ones, I don't take them on tape and I generally watch them only if I'm not too tired (they are on the air around midnight). Neither do I have them on DVD. I don't even have a DVD player. So I guess I'm not obsessed with it.
(NOOOO! I'M NOT! I WON'T HAVE THE PAIN AGAIN!!! WHY GOD WHY?!?)

If, by "obsession" you mean watch it on DVD all the time, think about it at odd moments throughout the day, plan what I want to write about on postings that evening, etc, then no, I am not obsessed.

I am waaaayyyy beyond that!

Like all good shows, it has (and will) stay in my head twisting, circling and growing in size and complexity long after the show has ended (it's about halfway through here in Finland) and everytime I think about it I feel a little bit sad for the stupidity of mankind for letting a show like that to end prematurely, but it's still only a show. So, once more, I LIKE IT BUT I'M NOT REALLY OBSESSED WITH IT.

Denial!

Me neither, I'm not obsessed either!
Just because I went online and immediately bought a pile of 'Firefly' related stuff...
Or because I pulled out a bunch of plain t-shirts and sweatshirts and printed transfers of 'Firefly' decorations for all of them...
Or buying an extra 5 sets of 'Firefly' DVDs to give to friends and family...
THAT doesn't make me obsessed!
Reading fan fic, drooling over Jayne...
THAT isn't obsessive behavior!
Who said I was obsessed?!?!?!?!

i guess after the second time through.
we got the dvd set and watched every episode. i loved it. then i watch all the extras and commentaries. still didn't have my fill so i watched it all again. after that i realize i still wanted more. now i watch it whenever i have time and there's nothing better on. and there is very seldom anything better on.
i tried to watch that stupid earthquake movie last night. it was awful and couldn't even finish it. i even said out loud it's no wonder we watch firefly all the time, this movie is pathetic. nothing currently on can compare to firefly.

Well i watched two episodes and I was hooked. I'd say I was officially obsessed about the time I watched DVD disc 3. Mainly because I have a huge history assignment to finish on the day AFTER ITS DUE because I was to busy being addicted to firefly.

The day I saw Adam Baldwin in an episode of "The Outer Limits" - I had recorded it by mistake, but watched it anyway. I knew I had seen his face before, and it wasn't the "Hey! It's Animal Mother!" connection, but I couldn't figure it out.

It drove me crazy for the whole day, until about 7:30pm that Saturday - a half an hour before all the stores closed - I realized it was Jayne from "Firefly." I was literally stunned. Not because Mr. B's astounding acting job fooled me into not recognizing him, but because I could not believe that I had forgotten about Firefly; all the memories of the show when it first aired came rushing back...not quite nirvana, but close enough for me. ('Course, that's not to take anything away from Mr. B's acting...he was very good....)

Anyway. After I got over my shame, I jumped in my Jeepy and sped to the nearest store...which didn't have the DVD set in stock...then off to the next store...which also didn't have it...and so on and so on until I got to the very last store at the very last minute. There weren't any sets on the shelf but it was advertised, so I asked the clerk. He had set the last one aside for a co-worker, but haha, he didn't show up, so he sold it to me. I watched the whole thing twice that weekend.

The rest is history and now I'm irrevocably mentally damaged.

I really loved the show when it was on the air, then when it stopped i was sad for a while, but hadn't really gone into mourning. Then in March of this year, my sister came to visit with a birthday present. It was in an Amazon box, i was able to life up the flap just enough to see the beginning F in Firefly and i totally freaked. I like started ripping at the box like a wild animal trying to get the box open so i could see my shiny and new boxed set...thats when i knew i was hooked.

so what about you?

When I started looking for ANYONE to take my pre-order for the DVD bov, about 8 months before the release was announced... that's when I had an inkling...

I knew I was obsessed around 8:45 PM on 9-20-2002 when Jayne said his Chain of Command line.

I realized FF was an obsession for me when I started rearrangeing my very hectic schedual so as to be sure to be home to watch the next episode. Also when I started relating each storyline to my husband the minute he walked in the door.
