Me & Sonisall are workin' our way through the series, he's seen some eps prior, but not many due to his lack of age in the past. But he's old enough now, so we'll hit every one on this round before finishing with the movie (which he's never seen before).

Just finished Shindig, and wow, this show just gets better with each viewing. I expected to be a tiny bit like "I seen this so many times" while watching, but it's truly never like that. "I'm okay" gets me every gorram time.
And so much fun to share this with my boy!

I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it. Unlike some others who can watch a random episode, with me it has to be in order and the complete series in as short a time as possible. Then I watch all the bonus content before going on the BDM.

My son was also the first person I turned on to the show, and luckily he was already old enough to appreciate it. He may not be as big a flan as me, but it's pretty close. Still my favorite series of all time.

Were it not for Star Trek TOS I would say so as well.

Wow, I see a devoted fan here in SC_FF_FAN:

Today I came to the conclusion that seeing Serenity without watching Firefly first would be like seeing Return Of The Jedi without having seen Star Wars & Empire Strikes Back.

Okay, I listed it wrong, we last saw Shindig, NOW we saw Safe. Sonisall (who plans to be an astrophysicist) totally approves of the space scenes.

Yeah, the wife and I went thru the whole series again just a few weeks ago. Enjoyed it as much as ever.

HAven't actually WATCHED the eps in quite a while. But I can recall 'em pretty well, they're burned into my memory banks. It's time to look again.

Do you have the Map of The Verse?
If Sonisall is to be astrophysicist, might be cool to point out to him that Safe is the episode from which we can deduce Firefly's max speed. Taking Book from J-whatever to the Alliance medical place on Green-wherever at max speed took 10 hours, so 5 hours of acceleration then 5 hours of deceleration. Decent teachable moment.

I'm sure he'd find the map interesting, but only in the way he could point out the impossibilities of it all.
