How old are you? 40, Gorrammit!

Male or female? F

Single or taken? Married almost 15 years!

Location? California

When did you start watching Firefly? While it was aired on Fox.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Jayne, because I've been a fan of Adam Baldwin's since the early 80's. I actually like all the characters, but I REALLY like how Zoe can kick arse!

What are two of your favorite episodes? Ariel and War Stories.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Hmmm...hard to choose. I think Kaylee should grab Simon by the ears and plant him a big, fat kiss! But I really admire the loyal bond that Mal and Zoe have.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Nah, I have 2 young kids. We mostly watch Nick Jr!

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I wouldn't know about that, since I haven't seen either Buffy nor 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 a few more seasons on the telly. This way I get the major motion picture fix as well as a weekly series fix!

This is fun, thanks for running it!

Hello, all. Long time lurker, first time...etc.

How old are you? 33

Male or female? Female

Single or taken? Single as a snowflake

Location? Los Angeles, California

When did you start watching Firefly? On the first evening of the first US broadcast.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and River. Mmm, angst...tasty.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Classified by how much I re-watch 'em, not how much I love 'em (eg I love Out of Gas, but I can't watch it much because I prefer to laugh, not cry): Serenity and Our Mrs. Reynolds

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Zoe. I'm fascinated by military relationships -- the clash of emotion vs. duty and the way it shapes personalities.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Repeatedly!

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? At first, I didn't think so, but then I realized that I could re-watch Firefly episodes and see something new every time, and that's not true of most of Buffy and Angel. So, better.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I prefer Joss to write what he wants and to get the funding he needs. Beyond that I'm not picky.



"When they shall paint our sockets gray
And light us like a stinking fuse,
Remember that we once could say,
Yesterday we had a world to lose."

How old are you? 30

Male or female? Male

Single or taken? Single

Location? Birmingham, AL

When did you start watching Firefly? Since the first ep on Fox.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Like most of you, I love them all, but I guess my favorites would have to be Mal, Wash, and Kaylee.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Loved them all, but favorites would be Serenity, Objects In Space, War Stories, Out of Gas, Bushwacked.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal & Inara; Simon & Kaylee

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)? I think it is unfair to compare since Firefly only had 13 eps, but if you compare the first seasons of all three series then Firefly is hands down the winner. If Firefly had been given the chance to go on, I think it could have been the best series ever.

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 the show come back to TV some day, but that is not likely to happen, so give me the trilogy of movies. Ah hell, I'm greedy, give me the trilogy and the series.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

How old are you? 35

Male or female? M

Single or taken? Married

Location? San Francisco, CA

When did you start watching Firefly? Maybe four months ago when I finished Angel on DVD

Who are two of your favorite characters? My favorites characters are without a doubt Jayne and Mal. Jayne is just perfect and shiny in a gritty, nasty, but kind of naive way. Mal is the most complex and interesting character to me.

What are two of your favorite episodes? I find myself re-watching Serenity the most out of all the epsiodes, so it must be my favorite. The epsiode that made me cry was The Message (and I really like the actor that guested - is he the only one to be in BTVS, ANGEL, and FIREFLY?)

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Serenity. Just thinking about what it stands for gets me right in the gut.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Not until last September. Now, I am a huge fan.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Yeah, although certain episodes of each series were incredible and as good as Firefly.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? One movie plus new seasons on DVD! I personally don't watch, don't like TV, but I LOVE to watch DVDs of television series. Kind of reminds of Doctor Who marathons on PBS when I was a kid. Many, many seasons of Firefly straight to DVD!

Fully loaded, safety off. This
here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

I'm both shocked and surprised that Mal and Serenity didn't come up more for favourite relationship! That is, after all the central relationship in the show and what it's essentially about. The whole show is about the ship - nothing in it is as important - the TV show was named after her class and the film after her name!

In OoG when those guys try to steal her - I just find myself thinking that whatever you try and do to Mal - you don't mess with his ship! And he's able to conjure up superhuman strength to see them off because of it - I don't know if he would have found those reserves if it was Inara they were messing with.

I love the moment when he first sees her in OoG. You can tell he's fallen in love with her straight away. It's definitely the relationship I'd like to have found out more about.
