The series, but only because it was out before the movie. Now, whenever I feel like doing a Firefly run I tack the BDM on the end.

Depending on mood I[ll watch what fits the day. OIS is always good, OMR when in a funny mood, TJ most any time. Have to say I like them all at different times. Wishing there was more but that doesn't look likely.

I'm actually not completely fond of the movie. It's a great, but there are all of the signature little crew moments that are missing, among a few other things (lack of Hawaiian shirts and silk waistcoats are two). The show was a study of humanity, nine people on a boat, living in close contact, scraping by. Joss had a way of showing all of the intimate moments between everyone, how the crew worked together as an unconventional family unit, and that's sorely missed in the movie.

Most often watched episodes:
-Out of Gas: Great origins episode
-Jaynestown: "I reattached a girl's leg once... her whooole leg. 'Named her hamster after me."
"Hamsters is nice."
-Shindig: "Are you in pain?"
"Absolutely. I got stabbed, you know, right here."
-Safe: Great River & Simon episode
-The Message: "Oh my god, it's grotesque! Oh, and there's something in a jar"
-Our Mrs. Reynolds: "You don't play a player."

Your Indian Pirate Lord,
Ash

I think it is about even. I watched the series several times, then watched the movie several times. Now I make it an annual ritual to watch the series and the movie right before Dragon*Con.

Actually, the movie might have the edge because of CSTS. They're fixin' to show Dr. Horrible this year. wOOt!

The series. I have a number of objections to the movie... but the main one when considering this question is that the movie feels like it ends in 2 hours (duh) while the series feels like it could just keep going and going and going...

Definatly the Series. While I joined our noble ranks through the movie, there's just something about the series.

A certain magic to it.
