When did you start watching Firefly? Around June-July 2004 with downloaded divx's. Bought the box set when it came out here and been busy converting people since.
Who are two of your favorite characters? Jayne & Mal
What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas, Jaynestown
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Jayne & Mal - confrontation at the end of Ariel was just brilliant.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Nup, neither. Just couldn't get into it. Watched a bit of Angel, but stopped after Gun and Fred got it on, which I just thought was wrong. Saw only 2 episodes of Buffy, one of which was something about her getting a haircut and going invisible. Didn't watch after that.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Better. Much, much, much better (from what I've seen of the other two shows). Not as contrived, feels more real.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? The latter. Definitely the latter. You can do so much more with a serial than a movie with large gaps of nothing in between. The depth, humour, relationships, it can only come about through intricate plot weaving over a good period of time. Usually the best thing about movies is that it's good bigger, better effects, but the effects in Firefly are just top notch anyway.

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.
I couldn't agree more. I love all of the Mal/Serenity moments that appear throughout the series. It's an amazing cipher for what's going with Mal as a person. One of the deleted scenes on the DVD (where Zoe and Simon are talking) highlights the redemptive aspect that relationship. Zoe says something like, "Once you've been to Serenity, you never leave her" and the fact that Mal's relationship to Serenity as the watershed moment of his life, where he lost everything except Zoe, is being changed by the introduction of a family dynamic in ways that he never expected never ceases to be astound me.
Fully loaded, safety off. This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

When did you start watching Firefly? Since the Serenity pilot was available on the internet. Before Train job even aired. Immediately addicted and later upgraded to obsessed.
Who are two of your favorite characters? River and Simon. The great relationship between them and their opposite personalities...Simon's elegance and River's...well River is River.
What are two of your favorite episodes? The message for its ending and Serenity for getting me addicted in the first place.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? See above (two favourite characters)
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? YES and YES. How could I not?
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I liked Buffy, loved Angel and Firefly is beyond anything else. It is absolutely the best show I have ever seen...EVER! And I've seen a lot of them, believe me.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? This one's a no brainer, of course a TV show. Whatever provides more Firefly time. Plus you don't have to wait two years for a new episode.
Take me out to the black, tell them I ain't coming back

. FOX has sold the rights to 'versal, on the stipulation that there be no more t.v. shows.
See I don't understand this ...if Fox has no intrest in making anymore T.V shows and if they sold the rights to universal..why should they care one way or the other if another studio wants to make T.v shows
are they just being spitful can someone please explain this to me!!

When did you start watching Firefly? As soon as I could get my grubby little hands on it, on one of our network channels, and then ordered the DVD from USA months before it came out over here.
Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and Book. Probably because I still think there is a lot to discover about both of them even though I absolutely love all of the main characters.
What are two of your favorite episodes? Very tough choice, but had to go with The Message and War Games.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Inara. Has to be. The air crackles when they get together on screen with tension.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Yes.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Better. Everything he learnt from those two shows he put into this one, so it hit the mark from first moment, and didnt need time to find its feet, it was there from day one.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak, so i'd go for more TV, but reality tells me it will only be movies from here out.

How old are you? 19 for now.
M/F? Male.
Single or taken? Single.
Location? Allithwaite, Cumbria, England.
When did you start watching firefly? About right now last year, can't remember the exact date. But it stayed with me 15 weeks 'fore I could watch it again. No Sci-Fi without Sky TV and I didn't even have a TV while at Uni.
Who are two of your favourite characters? River for being all manner of weird and the last surviving petty, London crook, Badger.
What are two of your favorite episodes? Ariel and War Stories.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Book and Jayne, who'd think a preacher and a merc would get along so well. But then Book ain't no preacher is he.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Buffy not so much, Angel ditto (though I would watch it if only it wasn't on after midnight).
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Better by a huge margin. the characters are tougher and deal with a more believable world. Demons and Vampires just got old fast. Like aliens.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? At this point I will take whatever I can get, but another (this time long-running) series would make me much happier.

How old are you?
Closing in on 43. Am I the oldest one here?
Male or female?
I'm a woman. I'm a person. Lab rats are male or female.
Single or taken?
I never married.
Location?
The snorgling state of Missouri.
When did you start watching Firefly?
The first day it lifted off.
Who are two of your favorite characters?
I find all the characters well written, and well portrayed, but the one character I find more intriguing than the rest is Shepard Book. Why? Because he's somewhat of a mystery. I'm not saying I'm a mystery, but he reminds me of myself. I am an ordained minister who was also an MP (Military Police) in the US Army. I am an expert marksman, and expert grenadier, and know how to make all sorts of explosives.
What are two of your favorite episodes?
Although there is not a single episode which is lacking, at the top of my list is Out of Gas. This is excellent storytelling. Number two would be a toss up betwix Jaynestown and The Message.
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
That would have to be Simon and River. This is love. This is family.
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Watched them both.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Yes. It is as good, or better. Actually I'm not sure which aspects you wish to compare, (concept, production, acting, writing, directing, etc.). Personally I find the entire concept (a western combined with a space opera) very appealing.
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Why stop at three? How many Star Trek movies are there? I would also like to see it return to the small screen, unfortunately the snorgling execs at Fox will likely never allow that. So I say, produce the series and release it directly to the home viewers via tape or disc. I would gladly journey into town once a month and purchase the newest episode.

When did you start watching Firefly?
09/20/2002, the night serenity first lifted off here in the states.
Who are two of your favorite characters?
Mal, and Kaylee
What are two of your favorite episodes?
OoG, and War Stories
What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
it's a tie between Mal and Serenity, and jayne and his brain (there almost seems to be a homer simpson-esqe separation between the two)
Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
only in a rabidly obessive,quote them randomly kinda way.
Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
better.
it's very rare to make television of this quality in the first 13 eps.
(PHOX does have a tendancy to find these kind of shows.[ FF, Greg the Bunny, etc.] they find them make them and after the first couple eps air they start hitting them with the largest sticks they can find.)
Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? can't we have both?
( from an issue of TOY FARE magazine):
SPIKE: More like the vampire layer...
Angel: that's what i'm saying!
anybody else think David Boreanas(sp?) would make a good Bruce Wayne? maybe not Batman, but Bruce Wayne? I mean He Certainly has the Brooding down...
