So, I had never seen the show, but a friend strong-armed me into watching his Firefly DVD over Xmas. The opening scene of the battle for Serenity Valley was decent, but I was still emotionally neutral regarding it, sort of hanging out waiting to see where the show was going to take me before I decided what I really thought of it. Then the Firefly logo burned through the screen, and the opening theme played, and I realized that where the show was going to take me was out into the black, and that we weren't ever coming back. :) And so, without even having seeing a whole episode of the show, I was a Firefly fan.

Seeing the rest of the series just bore out that feeling, in spades.

And, my wife loves the theme song so much that she made an MP3 of it and listens to it on her walkman!

Yep. The theme song is on my Mac and I listen to it frequently. To me it falls into a blues categpry though, which means that someone like Clapton should cover it. Not that it needs redoing at all.

The first time I heard the theme song I was against it. A prejudice against C&W I guess.

It grew on me though, partially on its own merits and partially because it fit so perfectly with the show.

Then again my opinion isn't worth much, cause I think the theme song to Enterprise is the best part of that show.

Actually I find that I am in agreement with this, showing that you are an intelligent person.

I know we're not the majority but I agree with you 100%.

I hate the themes of TOS and TNG with a passion, love Voyagers theme, am kinda neutral to DS9s and find the ENT theme refreshing and better than the rest of the show.

of the Whedon shows I like the Buffy theme the most. it fit's the show _and_ is good music.
angels is good but not so much my style and Fireflys fit's the show and I kinda like it even if it isn't what I'd normally listen to.

and I was sooooo disappointed with Once More With Feeling because I simply cannot stand the music. there are one or two songs I can actually listen to without being totured by it. that's namely "Rest In Peace" and "Standing" the rest is just awful. I appreciate the idea and the voices of the actors are passable (SMG, NB, EC) to excellent (ASH, AB) the story and the lyrics of the songs was cool but I can't watch it because of the lala-kinda music. much too shallow and 'musicalstyle' for my taste. ok so that's what it was supposed to be but you can make a musical with real music (Rocky Horror) and it works too. I expected too much maybe because it's supposed to be really great and the music on Buffy always was good to great and never ever that annoying.

but we've all got different taste and that's a good thing.

sorry for going off-topic and ranting. it just came to mind.

I saw this ep before watching Buffy regularly, thus had no idea what the hell any of the charactors were singing about. But for some reason, I really liked it alot - with the possible exception of Xander's song. But that one was the funniest of them all.

Then when I watched the same episode after seeing all the episodes leading up to it (and I mean ALL the episodes), I *loved* it.

*Loved* it.
