I am a recent convert, thanks to my flatmate. I whole-hearted approve the movie and any other opportunity to see Serenity in action!

See that's funny, cause I was just telling a friend that, forget Islam and Mormonism, Firefly is the fastest growing religion.

It's true. do you know of anybody who saw the show and didn't become a true fan? I don't. And I've seen many people watch this show (hihi, I have a secret base where I force them to watch it till they admit it's awesome...)

You can't take the sky from me.

I know one person who saw it as a result of me and didn't get into it at all. She's into sci-fi, but she said this was "too cowboy." She watched Serenity and Train Job, which has been enough to get everyone else absolutely hooked, but simply couldn't handle them getting off their spaceship, riding horses around, and shooting guns. Couldn't take it. I think the music may also have been a factor; I know another person who had to overcome her knee-jerk revulsion for "twang" before she could enjoy the show.

But seriously, "too cowboy?" Obviously she just... didn't get it. To say that the show would have been better without all the cowboy stuff is like saying Guys and Dolls would be better without all that goofy singing.

Now, this failure comes up against 23 confirmed successes, resulting in three DVD sets bought. That's a fine success rate, certainly. That said, does anybody else have a failure story?
