just curious,
how did you happen to (happily, i'm sure) stumble across our beloved firefly if you didn't watch it air on the evil network?

My sister-in-law and her boyfriend told me and my husband that the show was awesome. We went out and bought it and I was hooked about 30 minutes into it. One of the best shows I've ever seen, if not the best.

I was looking up some Adam Baldwin stuff (whom I've watched since ID4 and the Cape) when I stumbled across a sci-fi show he did. I ended up here and read some fanfic and loved it. I bought the DVDs without ever seeing a single ep. I'm glad I did!

It is great to see people are still discovering Firefly and becoming fans. Keep the stories coming.

Oh, and convert all the people you can. Tell them about Firefly. Show them your DVDs. Have viewing parties, whatever it takes.

They're so bad, they're laughable. Does anyone have vid clips of the original promos Fox did about the space hooker & the girl in the box?

I have since (since being like a month ago) converted 8 people...well...8 people who "enjoy" the show, 2 addicts besides myself...but I'm trying.

I saw some pictures in Dreamwatch a year and a half ago or so, but that magazine didn't have an awful lot of info when compared to say Andromeda or Enterprise, and to be honest I thought it looked kinda tacky at first. And although DW itself kept fairly neutral, some of the viewers weren't realy nice to the show and the discussions seemed to be centered on 'nobody watched so it must be bad and lets blame Joss Whedon for it.'

Then I got my interest in the western genre renewed by watching Once upon a time in the West and realised that I really, really liked it (always had when I was a kid). So while I was browsing Amazon.co.uk they popped Firefly on my screen as a 'if you like this, you might like' advert, read the reviews (well, some of them...) and I went for it. I thought if it were just as good as Bordertown, I wouldn't mind paying for it.

And now I'm a total addict. My longest period without watching a single episode was two days. But that was cheating somewhat since I watched both Angel with Gina and Buffy with Nathan during those days.

I heard good things about the show and knew the whole thing about Fox cancelling it. I already knew the film was coming (so lucky for me I didn't go through all those nail biting months). Anyway I was looking around in a shop and saw the DVD box set. I had £30 burning a hole in my pocket and because I love Angel so much I just brought the set. Never regreted it.

Mal's on the ground, about to get speared by Crow. A shot rings out. Crow is kneecapped.

Mal: Nice shot.

Jayne: I was aiming for his head.

I met Nathan, Jewel and Summer in Blackpool and decided that if they all loved the show so much, it had to be worth looking at. I bought the DVD set and was hooked immediately.
