I just love polls, so I thought I'd make one for us Firefly fans.
How old are you? 21
Male or female? F
Single or taken? VERY taken
Location? Sydney, Australia
When did you start watching Firefly? Maybe a month ago, the DVDs haven't been out here in Australia very long.
Who are two of your favorite characters? I really like Zoe, Wash, Mal, Kaylee, and River so that's tough. Probably Zoe and River (best crazy chick ever).
What are two of your favorite episodes? My all time favorite is War Stories. I could pick many #2's but off the top of my head I choose Objects in Space.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? ZOE AND WASH BABY!! 
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Hell yes, both of them
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? It might be because I've still got that 'new fan' high but right now I could probably say Firefly is better...get back to me when I've been a fan a few months though, like I have been with Buffy and Angel.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Probably a movie and some more seasons because if it was on long enough that would add up to be a lot more Firefly.

How old are you? 34
Male or female? M
Single or taken? Married
Location? Richmond, VA U.S.A.
When did you start watching Firefly? I have been watching since the show premiered on Fox.
Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal is by far my favorite. I seem to identify w/ him the most. Jayne is my 2nd favorite character as he seems to have quite a bit of potential for character growth, not to mention his comic relief is shiny.
What are two of your favorite episodes? My favorite is Out of Gas. War Stories comes in a close second.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal & Inara. The tension between them is thick enough to cut w/ a knife, but it provides some very interesting one liners and potential for future plots.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I watched Buffy from episode one to the end. I have all the seasons on DVD as well. I have watched all but the last season of Angel on television, but never really found the need to purchase the episodes on DVD.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Without a doubt, Firefly surpasses Joss's previous work in Buffy & Angel. Firefly seems to be the story Joss was meant to tell. I was skeptical at first when the ads ran on Fox, but everything about the show, from the concept to the scripts are all perfect. Firefly is by far my favorite sci fi series.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Definitely a movie and then more seasons on TV. A movie would help to generate interest in the uninitiated and fire up the existing fanbase. When it is successful a return to TV would be a hit. Movies are great, but honestly I would love to have one hour installments weekly.

How old are you? 23
Male or female? F
Single or taken? Single
Location? Orlando, Florida
When did you start watching Firefly? About 2 months ago. Rented the series from Netflix because it had Alan Tudyk in it, ended up loving the show.
Who are two of your favorite characters? That would have to be Wash (of course) and Jayne. They just seem to have the best lines, very funny.
What are two of your favorite episodes? My two favorite episodes are Our Mrs. Reynolds and Jaynestown, they are the best if you want a good laugh.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I like the relationship between Mal and Inara. I can't wait to see what they do wiith it in the movie.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I have seen some episodes of Buffy.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? From what I have seen of Buffy I would have to say that Firefly is way better. There's more that can be done with the story line and the characters are better.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I would prefer a movie and more seasons. With three movies it's over after 3 movies. More questions would be able to be answered in a new season, plus there would be more to watch as opposed to a few extra hours on the big screen.

How old are you? 19, nearing 20.
Male or female? F
Single or taken? Single.
Location? Depends on the time of year. At the moment, New York.
When did you start watching Firefly? December '03. My dad and brother had been big fans when it was first broadcast, but I was never around to see them-- then the DVDs came out. What a beautiful thing. Now I'm hooked
Who are two of your favorite characters?
Wash, without a doubt-- I have a soft spot for the funny guys-- and... hmmm. It's so hard to pick and choose. It's like telling a mother to pick a favorite of her children. I guess Mal-- he's both a classic hero and a very unconventional hero, and I love that he's got both types of hero going on for him.
What are two of your favorite episodes?
Can I pick three? War Stories, Ariel, and The Message.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Simon and River. I gotta tell ya, at the beginning of the series, Simon really bugged me-- until I saw how he was with his sister, and how she was with him. One of the most interesting relationships on the show. Full of depth. Watching the two of them interact... it just gets under your skin.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
I'm a big Buffy fan. Not so much with Angel-- frankly, he was a little too broody for my taste-- but I watched the first and last seasons of it. Buffy, though, I followed all the way from the very beginning to the bitter end.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Well, they're all different... I think Buffy and Firefly are both better than Angel, though.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Movie and more seasons. It just worked so well in episodic format. And hey, then there would be something to look forward to in the otherwise fairly vacant world of television each week!
All right. Over and out.

How old are you? 26
Male or female? M
Single or taken? Single
Location? Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Earth, 'Verse
When did you start watching Firefly? From the
very first episode airing on Fox. Thought the show was only decent to good that first time, but by the time Our Mrs. Reynolds aired, I knew I loved it.
Who are two of your favorite characters?
I'm sorry, I refuse to answer that on the grounds that my brain may explode if I try.
What are two of your favorite episodes?
My favorite episode is Objects in Space. Next to that is Ariel. (And coming in third is Our Mrs. Reynolds)
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Probably Simon and River, just because the devoted sibling relationship is pretty interesting.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Yeah, I've seen every episode of both of them. Don't own any DVDs though.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Hrm.. it's a bit of a tough call. If you compare the first 13 episodes of Buffy or Angel to the first 13 episodes of Firefly, Firefly wins. Firefly's also got the most consistant quality (which isn't hard to do with 13 eps vs 100). However, I still don't think the best of Firefly beats the best of Buffy/Angel. Close maybe, and had it survived I'm certain it would have gotten
there, but not quite.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
I'd prefer a movie and more seasons on TV. Hell, I'd prefer a movie and several made for TV miniseries.

I noticed this too. While Buffy and Angel's first episodes were a bit bumpy...with some good and some, well, not so good (The Puppet Show anyone? Ugh.), Firefly was very consistant with it's episodes. There wasn't a stinker in the lot of 'em, though one in particular bugged me the first time I watched it.
But after a few seasons, who knows? At the moment I've got my rose colored NEW FAN glasses on, so I can't imagine it ever going down in quality...but some would have thought the same about Buffy and then we got season 7.

How old are you? 24
Male or female? F
Single or taken? single
Location? San Francisco, CA at the moment, but I was born and raised in CT
When did you start watching Firefly? I saw a few episodes on tv...liked it, but didn't get hooked. About two months ago I rented the dvds from netflix and was amazed.
Who are two of your favorite characters? I can only pick two? Kaylee is by far my favorite...how can you not love her. She just makes me smile.
As for a second one, it changes depending on my mood. I love Simon, he's smart and awkward, and his dedication to his sister is beautiful. Mal also ranks pretty high. I think its his sense of honor that attracts me. Oh and Zoe just plain rocks! I could go on, but...
What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas is great. It all just fits together so well. And Objects in Space is amazing. I especially love the beginning, seeing the crew just relaxing, it just feels so intimate. I find something new I like in each episode every time I watch them.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I love the awkward and adorableness of the Kaylee and Simon relationship. But Simon and River is growing on me, there is so much at stake there. It's captivating.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I loved Buffy, but didn't really get into Angel until my old roommate got me watching. Haven't gotten quite hooked though. The dvds are on my list at netflix.(god I love netflix.)
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Firefly is amazing. It's in a whole other 'verse. 'nuff said.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I would love to see more tv show episodes. I'm a tv junkie. But I have my doubts that it will happen...A trilogy would make me happy...hell why stop there, who says there can't be more than 3?
Well I guess that's it for now. It's nice to meet you all.
