You people have no lives; Firefly/Serenity is just a piece of entertainment, y'know!!!

Well, comics, soundtrack, pouring over the Visual Companion, heck, I spent two hours just building a Serenity out of Legos...

Here's the real question: at the end of Serenity, when Mal is talking to River about love keepin' her in the sky- do you get all teary?
I do, every time.

Phew! I have only seen the episodes about ten times each and the movie maybe 40 times...so that puts me in the normal category does it???

I've only seen each ep like 12 times now, and the movie over 45, but that doesn't mean I'm obsessed like y'all...that's only, let me do the math here...90 hours for the movie...120 hours for the show...see, that's only 210 hours I've spent on this thing, and that's hardly....uh...like, uh, nine days..., so see...

Hmmmmm...

Maybe I need some gorram help

Is STAR WARS, STAR TREK, 24 & HOUSE just entertainment? Sure they are, but still important to alot of people who love the charters and the storys, I care about the people on board Serenity even tho I know it's a TV show/film. I know BONES is TV show, but watch it hoping Booth & Bones hook up, even tho I know David B. is married in real life, but yet I hope.

Wow. I started this thread in fun...who knew it would come to this?
I hope you get well soon, Whozit. Talk to folks, get to know them & whatnot. There's a lot of peeps out there just as scared & lonely as you are.

We are not going to like him when he's angry.

I think he is hungry. (see Incredible Hulk for inside joke) You wouldn't like him when he's hungry. Hungry for more Firefly/Serenity.

Uh-oh! Did someone say Chrisisall is angry?!?! Or even hungry?!?

Quick, batten down the hatches, hide your children!!

C'mon Toto, the storm cellar is this-a-way!!

I mean, anyone crazy enough to watch THAT much Firefly/Serenity is, indeed, one to fear.

That is all kinds of crazy... but wait... that means... *does the math by marking in the air and counting upon his fingers and toes*...

Aww CRAP!! I'm crazy too... sigh.. there goes the neighbourhood...

Seriously though, is 210 hours a lot for peeps on this site? Or is it about average?

---

I would say that is about average, but well below the amount of time I have spent either watching Firefly or Serenity, reading the comics, novelization and companion books, listening to the soundtracks, etc. Add to that the times I have been to a shindig, convention or CSTS screening, I am sure I am close to 500 hours by now.

But there is rarely an hour that has gone by since September 20, 2002 that I have not thought of Firefly in one way or another. I'm obsessed, but I am also very comfortable with that.

If anyone takes issue with that then it's their problem, not mine.

Well I just can't count that high. 500 sounds right but I am afraid I still spent way more than that. Firefly I've watched at least 20 times. Serenity about 30 times. I am a shindigaholic and have met many many Browncoats.

Does this make me overly obsessed? I'm ok with that.

Can anyone do the math?
