On a visceral, guttural level, FF/Serenity defines me.
I love freedom.
I embrace the idea that I shape my destiny.
I accept that 'civilized' society attempts to step on these ideas.
But I'm still flyin'.

There's a little part of me I see in every character in Firefly, that must be why I love it so.

Comments?

I'm right there with you Chris...

Probably about the 250 thousandth time I've watched Firefly straight through than followed up with a movie (and this time with a new 'coat, one of my friends)

He was mad as hell after we got through OiS because there was nothing more for him to watch, and he wanted to know what F*x was thinking cancelling such a beautiful show... I told him I didn't know...

Anyway, way to many lines to count and too many situations to count but they still always make me laugh, cry, and get the chills... and that theme song...

Firefly will get into your head and your heart and haunt your very soul

mhmmm. I have watched Firefly atleast 20 times already and I only found out about it this past month. I love everything about the series and the movie.
True da, Jake. after all these times of watching the episodes I still laugh, still cry and quote the theme song and the lines.

I am a Browncoat for life.

It is amazing how Firefly and Serenity have consumed my life and I couldn't be happier. I remember watching the movie first. Then I watched all the episodes and the movie and ever since then I have been hooked. Firefly lingo works its way in to my every day speech patterns at home as well as at my job... I don't think I have ever been as drawn to a show as I am still drawn to FireFly and Serenity. I even have introduced the show to my new roommates and we are almost done watching the Firefly episodes and then we are going to watch the movie and I am trying to be prepared for the utter devistation that will visit upon the household when we are done. Curse you F*x! Curse you!

There really are only 2 types of people in the world: Browncoats, and then everybody else. Browncoats understand this, and there is always a special connection on some level to any other Browncoat.

What!? Fireflu -- You must be kiddin. This was the single worst series on TV. I couldn't stomach it's redundant characters, the absurd premise that the wild west would resurface in space and what kinda universe has no aliens!!! Sheesh! 500 years in the future and still no contact with a higher lifeform?!! Ridiculous!! The only thing going for it was that hot chick with the loony speech!! (or was that some language I just didn't understand....)

I... Oh... I just can't do it.

It's great and everyone knows it! I tried. I tried to find something negative about it but I can't. It's just too wonderful for words, probably too good for semiphores too but it deserves a thumbs up from everything with thumbs -- including tacks!

How is it these fourteen episodes plus one feature film rule your consciousness Big 'C' ?

...because you have a conscience.

And a very fine Lego Serenity, and thanks to an excellent artist, a great image of it in space!

Going on the title alone, for me, it's the fact that Joss Whedon and his remarkable team put together something so close to perfection in the TV arena... To me 'Out of Gas' was perhaps the perfect episode of any show in any genre ever!

My favourite episode remains 'Heart of Gold', there was so much humanity and strength in that episode.

Then there's the fact that we, who know a good thing when we see it and who are intelligent and imaginative human beings, really object to the TV studios pulling everything down to the level of morons... they want to get the morons who won't question the advertising they sell and will just go out and buy whatever is being thrust down their throats, whilst we want quality programming that challenges our intellect and connects with our emotions. We are loyal and passionate and we object to being treated badly because we're more intelligent than the morons they want to target!

Plus - it's so pretty and shiny and we all really want to live on Serenity in our dreams!
