When did you start watching Firefly? From the very first episode that aired. I'm a HUGE Whedon fan, so I tuned in, and was hooked faster than you can say "No power in the 'verse can stop me." 
Who are two of your favorite characters? My ultimate favourite would be Kaylee, she has such a big heart...and Jayne of course because he's just hi-larious.
What are two of your favorite episodes? OMR and Shindig.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I love the tension between Inara and Mal, as someone said before, you could cut it with a knife. But I have to say that I'm a big Kaylee/Simon fan too. 
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Of course!! Like I said before, I'm a Whedonite through and through, so I've watched every single episode of both, from start to finish. (I miss the good ol' days when we had Whedon shows to watch every week 
)
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Like stated before, if you look at the first bunch of episodes from all three series, Firefly wins, but as a whole, I'm still loyal to my Buffy.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Well of course I'd like it to return to TV, so we'd all get more Firefly, but I'll settle for 3 amazing movies.

When did you start watching Firefly? October 2003. I missed the first couple of episodes but after seeing part of Our Mrs Reynolds I started watching. After Out of Gas I was hooked.
Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and Simon (and Kaylee and Jayne and River and Inara and Zoe and Wash and Book ).
What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas (I loved it the first time I saw it even though I didn't even know the names of the characters) and Shindig.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Simon and Kaylee.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Yup, both.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? It's hard to judge since there is less of Firefly. But Firefly was able to hook me in a way that Buffy and Angel couldn't.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Is it wrong to say a trilogy and more seasons? Honestly, it doesn't matter to me, so long as the story gets told!!!
Good questions btw

When did you start watching Firefly? March 15th, 2004. I don't why, but all of a sudden I decided to buy the DVDs. Firefly has never been broadcasted over here so I had only heard about it by ppl's messages on a buffy/angel forum - messages that I never really bothered to read as I didn't wanna be spoiled, in case we got it here too... It was a used region1 DVD box and it was not enough so I bought a new region2 DVD box :-) Never done that before!
Who are two of your favorite characters?
Mal and Wash
What are two of your favorite episodes?
Can I pick three? Out of Gas, War Stories
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Mal and Inara... or Book and Jayne? :-)
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Yep... though since I've discovered Firefly I don't have the same interest in them.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Yes... and no... This show seems more mature than the other ones, in terms of writing, relationships and themes. But Buffy and Angel are *different*, with the monsters and the present time. So I'm not sure about being able to do a comparison
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show? I don't know. Of course a few more seasons would be great but i love movies and i think a trilogy would be even greater. then we can wait for a decade to see tv producers have a brilliant idea for a new show: firefly 2.0 and we'll all discuss about good ol' times :-)

When did you start watching Firefly? End of August/beginning of Sept. 2004 (DVDs) -- thought I'd hate it, so I didn't watch it when it first premiered on TV... stupid move. I've found that I ignored most of my now-favourite shows when they first aired only to have to play catch up later on when I realized how good they were ;) You'd think I would learn!!
Who are two of your favorite characters? Kaylee and Mal -- no questions. I absolutely adore all of the characters, but these two have just grabbed onto me and I can't seem to shake them. Kaylee is such a real person - open, honest, trusting, yet so vulnerable at times. You can't help but feel everything right along with her. ..As for Mal, well, I suffer from a severe form of hero-worship - not to mention the fact that he's got a real sweet side behind that rough exterior!
What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas is absolute genious. Period. ...Serenity comes in at a close second. Fox was damn stupid not to air this one first. It was slow - but it was deep enough to draw you in and an excellent introduction to the concept of the show and it's characters.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Kaylee. They have, by far, the most touching relationship out of all of them. It's wonderful how even when things are going horribly wrong, Mal can still manage to be patient and calm for Kaylee's sake. He's very protective of her and they have this wonderful way of flirting that seems like the most natural thing in the world to them.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I've seen every episode of Buffy and own Seasons 1&2 on DVD. As for Angel - I've seen every season except for #3 (again with the catching on late and having to catch up) and I own Season 1 on DVD.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Honestly, I never thought that anything could surpass my love for those two shows - but Firefly is approaching that line very quickly. I don't think I've ever fallen into a fandom so quickly and wholeheartedly as I have with Firefly. Joss had done some amazing and beautiful work with this show. I don't have to look very hard to see that this was his baby.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I'd say one movie and a few more seasons, but I heard that after this movie they'd have to wait 5-10 years to get it back on tv. If that really is the case, then give me the trilogy -- instant gratification... shiny!

When did you start watching Firefly? When they aired on Fox From the beginning
Who are two of your favorite characters? First, Mal, because he shoots first... in the face. and second Book, because Ron Glass has one of the greatest laughs around, and his back story, or lack there of, intrigues me.
What are two of your favorite episodes? Serenity, two hours of genius that would have gathered a following like no other fox show, and Objects in Space for the acting.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Blue Sun/Alliance and River. I really wish the show had been on long enough to hash this out, hope the movie doesn't give too much away so that the impending series has something to build from.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Own and watched every episode of both. many of the actors in both shows looked like the rolls had been played out by the end.
Do you think Firefly is as good as or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Firefly and Buffy were both built from something Joss wanted to do. I will answer this way, Firefly overall showed a much more mature Mr. Whedon, and as such is a much better show. That maturity got in the way of Buffy and her adolescent charm. Firefly is what Joss was meant to do.
Side note: Hush is probably one of the greatest hour long (non-season finale) episodes of any television series to date.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Can I choose the best of both worlds? Trilogy and then more TV? The rights are tied up in some mess with the networks so the movies are more likely for now.

When did you start watching Firefly?
About a week ago, though I've been watching Buffy & Angel for about a year.
Who are two of your favorite characters?
Hmm... Hard choice. But since my mom always told people that she liked Ringo... I'll be a bit different and go with Simon and Kaylee. I enjoy Simon as a character because I can relate to him a bit. He seems a bit out of place, but has great inner strength to get through it. He has given up so much and people (in the Firefly universe, not in RL) can't really seem to understand what that means. Why I like Kaylee? Just 'cause. But really, I likeall of them and all kidding aside, if I answered this poll another day i'd probably pick Mal and Inara. So go figure...
What are two of your favorite episodes?
Out of Gas - It's as close to Storytelling gold as you can get.
Objects in Space - Joss was saying something with this episode, and yet he was saying nothing. I look at things differently sometimes because of this ep. Example: I was drying myself with a towel after a shower and I looked at the towel. I said to myself that it's just a piece of cloth, but in using it, I give it meaning - It's a towel. There are more examples, but that just came to my mind first.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Mal & Inara - there's just so much going on there. Inara's secret past, Mal's denial, etc.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Yup in the year since a friend told me about them I have watched all of Buffy multiple times (on DVD - Once More With Feeling about 7 times now), and have watched seasons 1 - 2 and most of season 3 of Angel. Oh, and the end of season 5.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Joss has grown so much as a storyteller since his first days with buffy. He has experimented (Hush, OMWF, Objects in Space) and shown storytelling perfection over and over again. Firefly was, in it's 14 episodes, much more consistent than nearly any 14 episodes of either Angel or Buffy (although I'm sure there are exceptions - note the use of "nearly"), expecially if you only compare first seasons. But I will withold judgement for now. It's just like said by someone else, it's a much more mature show, dealing with adult themes. And in that regard, I like it much more. (Plus I haven't watched my Buffy or Angel DVDs in a few months).
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Hard to say. I just want Joss to be able to tell all the stories he says he has left to tell in this universe. But from what I hear, it looks like a trilogy of Firefly movies is all we're going to get, so we better deal with it. But, whenever Joss gets back to TV, in whatever form, it will be a very, very good day.
Inara: What did I say to you about barging in to my shuttle?
Mal: That it was manly and impulsive?
Inara: Yes, precisely, only the exact phrase I used was "don't."

When did you start watching Firefly?
Since Commercial #1.
Who are two of your favorite characters?
It's like asking an alcoholic what his favorite alcohol is. Out of the nine, I guess I'm gonna have to say Mal and Jayne.
What are two of your favorite episodes?
Gonna have to go with Out of Gas as my #1 and Our Mrs. Reynolds as my #2.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Simon and Kaylee - you know they're gonna end up together...or are they?
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Both since season 1
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Not so much better, but just great in a different genre. Buffy was great in it's own way as was Angel.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Definitely have to go with movie and t.v. Johnny is a Firefly junkie and he needs his fix.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
I didn't really care for Buffy I never could get into that show although the few times I did watch it I enjoyed the Spike charactor ...I did watch and Like Angel but I lost interest in it the last two in a half seasons I felt that Joss teased and cheated ...he made a big whippty do about Angel and his son..I thought Angel was going to have to kill his son and the whole storyline just fizzled ..and he teased at a romance between Angel and Cordy and left it hanging..I was very dissapointed so I just stopped watching
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Firefly is so much better...I loved it from the beginning..not many T.V shows are strong in story telling.... Firefly was not only entertaining but intelligent...

a movie and more T.V shows...defintely!!!
