When did you start watching Firefly?
August 4th, 2004 - The day the boxset was released here in Aus. But I knew about it from the "Dark Angel" cancellation debacle.
Who are two of your favorite characters?
As much as I love them all in their own special way, if I have to narrow it down I'd go for Cap'n Mal and Wash. I love the way they play off each other.
What are two of your favorite episodes?
Talk about pulling teeth! Probably "War Stories", followed by "Out of Gas". "Serenity" Pts 1 and 2 are very close, though...
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
As much as I love Wash and Zoe's married dynamic, I think I'd have to go with Simon and Kaylee's budding romance.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Didn't watch either to start, but saw the last couple of seasons of both. I'm now working my way backward and filling in the gaps.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
As short as Firefly is, and as little information we have about each of the characters, I have to admit I enjoy the almost conspiracy-esque aspect of the Alliance, and the amazing character interaction between the whole ensemble. It gives the show a great-epic-plan feeling that I didn't feel so much in the latter seasons of Buffy and Angel - sure, they had seasonal arcs, but Firefly felt like it had this whole-series arc planned.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I could just agree with NewMelbourneFan:
Quote:but if I had to choose, I'd probably go with a few more seasons on television - more character development, more Firefly overall, more "Whedony goodness"... and less pressure to organize a massive campaign for more quality sci-fi tv/film... :D
Who cares as long as we get some of that Joss Whedony goodness!
'Yes... this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "this land".' 'I think we should call it your grave.' 'Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!'

You may leave the "age" line blank but then we'll have to guess: 100? 110? 432?

Hey, no worries about your age, people! At Buffyworld.com there was a fan that was well over 50 (can't remember the exact age - 60s or 70s maybe) and everyone thought that person was really cool for liking Buffy when most people that age would probably hate it. What's so great about the forums are you can meet people of all ages and backgrounds and talk about something you all really enjoy. It brings people together!
Now come on everyone...group hug!

When did you start watching Firefly? About three weeks ago after buying the DVD's,
Who are two of your favorite characters? It's gotsta be Jayne and Kaylee.
What are two of your favorite episodes? I would have to run with Objects In Space as my favourite. It has the perfect balance of comedy, drama, suspense, it really covers all bases. After that, possibly Jaynestown.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Either Mal and Kaylee's, I love the fact that nothing is ever said between them, but you know how close they are. Other than that I quite like Mal and Inara's also.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Bodering on obssessive for both shows.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Equally as good, I already place it in the same league after only seeing the episodes once. I think that somehow the characters on Firefly are just more engaging. I found I loved all of them almost instantly, whereas with the B+A you kinda grew to love the characters. The fact that can happen in 12 epsiodes says a whole lot about both the series and Joss' ability to create amazing characters.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Definetly would prefer to see Serenity and then continue on to more series. A few more series will allow much more character development and lets face it, 3 movies equals maybe maximum 7-8 hours worth of Firefly action, even two more series, even if they are only 12 episodes = about 20 hours of Firefly action, and I know what I would prefer.
Kinda got a bit carried away there. It be mighty good to meet y'all.

How old are you? 20
Male or female? M
Single or taken? Single
Location? The Netherlands (better known as Holland though that only counts for 2 of the 12 provinces).
When did you start watching Firefly? A couple of months ago thanks to the website where you can download them in Realmedia formats lol. I first didn't get the show but once I knew all the characters, their relations and of course the tension and context wich goes with knowing that I was hooked. The episodes wich didnt seem so special at first now are incredible once you know the context.
Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and Wash, I love every character but those two are my faves.
What are two of your favorite episodes? My all time favourite is Out of Gas, the other would be The Message.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Zoe and Wash :).
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Yes, at first I didnt get Firefly and only began watching it after both of Buffy and Angel were finished and I got no other Joss show (only to find out that Firefly is better then both Buffy and Angel).
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Yeah, much better. Though a similair high I experienced with season 2 and 3 of Buffy and season 5 of Angel, but this does feel different and more involving.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I want it to be a tv show most of all. My favourite episode is Out of Gas wich I find brilliant wich works extremly well as a episode in a tv series, but it could never work as a stand-alone movie. Also following the characters over a number of years seeying them grow is a experience I still havent found a match of in any of the movies ive seen.

When did you start watching Firefly?
They showed it here last winter/spring, started watching it from the middle. After the first 10-20 minutes, loved it. It had all the things i've wanted to see in a scifi serie... and 100 times more things i didnt know i wanted to see, before i saw them. Well anyway after that, watched the rest of the episodes and after that bought the DVD set. Though i'll probably have to buy another one from UK, so i can convert my brother and sisters, as they dont have region free dvd players.
Who are two of your favorite characters?
Kaylee and River 
What are two of your favorite episodes?
At the moment Serenity and Ariel. Objects in Space is also very good and is usually my favourite.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Simon - River.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Used to watch them, but now they show them here so early when i dont watch TV.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
There isnt any show that is as good or better then Firefly 
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Both, the best would be a serie and in the summer brakes there would be a movie.
But any Firefly, is good Firefly :)
