Now this is a person that did their homework. Found the show on their own, researched it on their own, watched episodes in intended order then in aired order. Lurked then joined FFF.net.
Most of us here learned of Firefly from a Browncoat, including me in march 2004. A hat off to you.
Do not fear me. Our's is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.

6. (allowed with another choice). Got the FF DVDs before Serenity Came out.
I did see Train Job in 2002, but reception wasn't good & Sonisall was a distraction- so I didn't see any more until I got the DVD's early 2005 by way of gift certificate- the rest is history.

#1. I'd been watching "Buffy" for a while and when I heard Western Sci-fi from Joss Whedon, I had to give it a try. I was so amazed at "Firefly" that I was instantly hooked and watched every episode that they aired. Then, after the show was gone and I was getting over my sorrow, I was looking at trailers online when I saw one called "Serenity." As soon as I saw it, I started shouting, "They made a movie from 'Firefly'! They made a movie from 'Firefly'!" I saw the movie, loved it and heard about this site so I joined not long afterward.
I'm so glad I saw the TV series and got hooked, and I'm so glad I found this site! Thanks, Haken, and all my fellow Browncoats!

Mines a little different to the others ...
The story goes that on an Autumn night in 2005, my eldest brother and my dad went to the cinema to see a sci-fi film called Serenity. I, being only 13 at the time, was not allowed to go see the 15 certificate film with them. After seeing the film, dad bought the series Firefly on DVD. One Saturday evening, late on in 2005, dad was painting said older brother's bedroom (white walls, again ... how original of him) and watching the series for the first time. I wandered in to 'help' sometime during Shindig, and then hung around watching him work for the rest of the evening in order to see more. I became hooked, and finished the boxset (including extras and commentaries) within the rest of the weekend. As I recall, my dad is yet to see all the extras (baaah).
So, dad pre-ordered Serenity on DVD, and I finally got to watch the film in early March 2006. Still legally to young to watch it, I may add (still 13 
).
I watched the series and film so often that finally my dad told me to just keep them. He said they basically lived in my room anyway, so they should be now. I don't think I've ever had a bigger grin on my face since. Lol.
It was my first 15 certificate DVD that I owned.

6. (allowed with another choice). Got the FF DVDs before Serenity Came out.
I was searching the interweb for pictures of the Falcon and this thing called Firefly kept popping up.
Got a gift card for Christmas and figured , why not, I like space shows. The rest is history.

3. Other (please specify).
Friend asked if I was watching a show called Firefly when it was originally aired on sci-fi channel.

Not having sky at the time meant I waited for it to come out on DVD. I bought it, watched it, then patiently waited for SERENITY.

I guess my answer would be #7. Last summer, my brother was watching the pilot episode, I walked by, and he bugged me to watch it. I didn't watch it right away, but within a couple of days (or it may have even been on the same day) I watched it out of curiosity. Over the next few days I ate up all the episodes, the movie, and most of the special features, one of which led me to this site, so I joined.

Quote:I’m old skool. I started with Dark Angel and transitioned seamlessly into Firefly. Watched every episode of Firefly as they aired, then campaigned for it not to be canceled, then campaigned for it to return, then campaigned for a movie, then watched the movie, then campaigned for a second movie, and finally gave up.

What sequence did you discover the verse?
1. Saw every aired Ep or most, or taped them and viewed when you got home, then saw Serenity in cinema?

Part of the reason I posted this thread.
Also, if perception is different for those watching the originally aired sequence, out of order, with the Pilot LAST; and for those who first saw the series in sequence (on DVD or Sci Fi) rather than out of sequence.
I think I'm seeing some new names in this thread. It's shiny, I like meeting new people, they all have stories...
