Both! To be honest I think it would have been better staying on TV.

How old are you? 17 - I'm a forum baby, apparently.

Male or female?
Female and damn proud

Single or taken?
Very single

Location?
Stoke, England

When did you start watching Firefly?
To be very exact, May 2nd 2004. The day I got back from seeing Nathan Fillion, Jewel Staite, and Summer Glau at the Blackpool Starfury: Serenity convention, I went out, bought the DVD set, and although I'm only a recent fan, I gotta say I've made up for it in the dedication I have to the genius!!!!

Who are two of your favorite characters?
Tough question! Kaylee is my number one. Second.... River, maybe. Though I also love Mal, Simon and Jayne LOL.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
The episode I love above all that is Jaynestown. Its hilarious, adnd there's Kaymon!

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Kaylee/Simon! Without hesitation

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Religiously! The Joss-verse IS my religion.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
I've been watching Buffy and Angel for the last eight years, and absolutely worship them. But after a quarter of a year of Firefly-ness, I gotta say, I like Firefly better. Firefly really can do no wrong.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
MORE SEASONS!!!

You're pretty.... pretty.

Afternoon Browncoats - thought I'd post here by way of an introduction...

How old are you? 20 years and three days

Male or female? M

Single or taken? happily taken

Location? London, England

When did you start watching Firefly? Three weeks ago.... can't believe I didn't hear about it before. I feel almost guilty...

Who are two of your favorite characters? Wash and Jayne, I'd say. Between them, they manage to generally convey what my reaction would be to any given situation.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of gas is pretty classic, but I have a soft spot for shindig, and the original pilot, serenity. I mean, I must have seen serenity ten times by now while converting new browncoats, and it still ain't getting old.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? probably Zoe and Wash, although there's a good dynamic between Jayne and Mal, especially after Ariel.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Used to watch a little buffy, once upon a time... never really sparked my interest. Good show, though - and damn well made.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I'd say so, yes.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? It has to be more episodes, for me. think what those guys could do with a couple dozen more hours of airtime.... :)

How old are you?
33

Male or female?
male

Single or taken?
single...again

Location
UK.......Kent...


When did you start watching Firefly?
About a year ago - when it made it's debut on Sci-fi channel

Who are two of your favorite characters?

Jayne - It's so much fun watching a man who's self centred values conflict with all the other crew members, and the social conundrums he finds himself in.

River - I just love all her abstract rantings and "The Riddler" style speak.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Probably the Pilot episode and Objects in space. But they're all very strong.


What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?

Jayne and Book....
Jayne and Kaylee.. If the show had continued I'd have loved it if Jayne were to fall for Kaylee in a really noble way and then have Kaylee fall in love with Simon and Jayne have his heart broken...

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Of course. Big fan of both, with Angel coming out stronger for its profound storylines.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
It's superior in my eyes - but it's probably because it's a more mature show.

I wonder if they were released at the same time, which I would have related to more.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?

As much as I love a good trilogy I think the format of TV is better for Firefly so I would possibly go with one movie and then six to seven seasons of Firefly. Yeah seven seasons of Firefly,,,, Cool

How old are you?

37

Male or female?

Male

Single or taken?

Can't single people get taken in this day and age? Just a little...


Location

Manchester, UK


When did you start watching Firefly?

December 2003 - picked up the DVD when on holiday in the States.


Who are two of your favorite characters?

Kaylee and Wash

What are two of your favorite episodes?

Objects in Space - fantastic writing

Out of Gas - ditto

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?

Zoe and Mal - its a twist on the usual war buddies.


Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?

Yes - and today I apologise for saying Chosen was a bad end to Buffy. Watched it again tonight, and whilst I still think the final shots are a big misstep (Xander quipping wise seconds after finding out, well you know what).

Haven't seen the final season of Angel yet - just about resisting the videos that just came out, but probably not for much longer.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?

Unfair to compare - as others said, start for start, Firefly is way better, but who knows how it would have compared over 100 episodes.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?

I'll take what I can get. I'm just hoping the movie springboards the careers of all involved (and so if Joss comes back to TV he can so something without being messed around).

How old are you? 33

Male or female? m

Single or taken? VERY single

Location? Charlotte, NC

When did you start watching Firefly? Day 1, first episode "Train Job". stupid out of order showing FOX.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal (like Nathan said of Mal, He has lost a lot and surrounded himself with people who have the qualities that he at least feels he has lost.)and Book.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas and Shindig.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Book (they're almost mirror images of each other in a twisted way.)

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? yes, both of them

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I loved both of those shows and would love to see more from them, Firefly is still better!

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Reality says we're getting three movies, I'd love to see more series after that though. should be past the 10 years by then.

How old are you? 39

Male or female? M

Single or taken? Single

Location? Atlanta,GA

When did you start watching Firefly? Watched it since the beginning. Might have missed an ep or 2 before I really was hooked. I mean, it did come on Fri night....

Who are two of your favorite characters? Clearly Mal, no question. Lots of things I can identify w/ the Capt.


What are two of your favorite episodes? Gee, this is a tough one.... OoG and..... So many great moments are found in each episode though. Our Mrs Reynolds or OiS tie for the other fav.


What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Didn't catch them the first few seasons, but tried to catch every ep as they wound down, especially Angel.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I like the character development in Angel. I'm real behind on getting to know the Buffy crowd, that I can hardly comment. Firefly , to me, is a whole different animal. I like the aspect that it deals w/ real life problems ( Mal trying to make a living, Zoe and Wash trying to keep a marriage together, etc )


Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? It's kinda a moot point now. FOX has sold the rights to 'versal, on the stipulation that there be no more t.v. shows. A trilogy ( and possibly an animated film ) is the best we can hope for.

How old are you? 22

Male or female? M

Single or taken? Single unfortunately

Location? Melbourne VIC Australia

When did you start watching Firefly? As soon as the DVD boxset came out here, watched all 14 in a couple of days. But have known about the show since it was first aired.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Hmmmmmm... It's difficult to seperate each character because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and unlike Buffy I don't dislike any character. I guess I like the intrigue surrounding Book, and Inara cos she's a hottie!


What are two of your favorite episodes? Again hard to seperate. I don't have favourites but Jaynestown was the funniest, I liked the history of Out Of Gas, War Stories was cool cos of River, as was Objects in Space, and I liked both Saffron eps.


What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I liked Book and Rivers relationship best because I think it had a lot of potential and it was quite subtle, but I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Simon and Kaylee to get it on.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Watched them both from the beginning but missed a lot of Buffy while I was overseas so had to buy all the videos/DVDs. Liked Angel more to be honest.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Both Buffy and Angel didn't really get started until mid-second season. I thought Angel has been the best so far, but Firefly didn't go for long enough for all of the characters to get explored. We only got background episodes for a few of them!


Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Who cares as long as we get some of that Joss Whedony goodness!
