Hey everyone, yesterday me and a bunch of friends marathoned the entire series of firefly! no we weren't high but it did take a lot of coffee. Im just saying this because i was wondering how many other people have done this and if you havent done this do it. The last few episodes look soo good out of one bloodshot eye at 5 in the morning

I did that when the DVD's came out. Funny thing was that I had never seen an episode before, and knew very little about it.
I had seen the commercial and was very interested, however, because I don't watch much TV I missed all shows on TV.
When I saw that the DVD's were out I got the first DVD from Netflix and watched all of it the same day. Also that same day, I went and bought the whole thing and watched the rest non-stop.
I'm glad I remembered that one commercial and watched the DVD's.

Beatle, your what i call a true firefly fan from the start. Marathoning the whole thing bc of one commercial. Thumbs up to the firefly marketing team!

I have done the marathon thing in the past, but not with Firefly.

I marathoned the first two seasons of OZ (eight hours each) over a weekend (one season a day) and this past weekend i marathoned half of the second season of Buffy (12 episodes)

Firefly i watched over a two day period when i was sick. now i watch an episode a week to get my Joss fix.

Rest of the family was away this weekend, so Saturday afternoon/evening I watched all the episodes with commentary. I hadn't listened to the commentaries before and the other house Firefly fans aren't so interested in that aspect.

I did take breaks though (meals, a walk, a bath, email)

Before this weekend I had never seen Firefly at all. I purchased the DVD set last week, and started watching the first episode on Friday night. Wasn't a continuous marathon, but I had finished most of them by Saturday night, and watched all of the episodes by Sunday afternoon.

I haven't done a continuous marathon, but do plan to do it one weekend, most likely when I can get at least two or more people to come by & watch.

A friend of mine did sit through 8 episodes in one sitting once. Only stopped to grab a bite to eat and bring it back while we watched the next episode.

I bought the set while I was in Afghanistan. We were on a 12-hour shift for QRF (Quick Reaction Force) which basically means, we sit around and wait for something to happen so we can fly off and become BDH's. Well. . .I started Disk 1 at the beginning of our shift and we sat straight through the shift. Fortunately, that was a quiet day due to a severe dust storm that had everyone grounded, so our entire crew. . .all 63 of us. . .sat in our briefing room. My laptop was hooked up to the video projector that we use for briefings, and we watched it 'theatre style' for the ENTIRE SHIFT. . .and of course about an hour beyond that, since there are 14 episodes. It was grand. We had to stop between eps for 'stretch breaks' and such. But I ramble, so I'll stop now.
