How completely refreshing it is to hear from someone who was recruited by the movie!

I, too, am a recent convert to the Firefly/Serenity 'verse.
I had never heard of the show until June of this year when a writer for The Oregonian newpaper mentioned the advance screening for Serenity. I saw my first episode ("Trash") last Friday on the SciFi Channel, and I have seen the first nine minutes of the movie, so my total viewing time is about 52 minutes.
I really, really like this show.
Within the first three minutes of "Trash", I knew what I was watching: a show featuring well-drawn characters equipped with interesting dialogue living in a plausible reality. By the first commercial break I was hooked. By the end of the episode I actually cared about these people.
There was a TV show called "Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years" that aired in 1995 - 1996. This show also featured deep, well-drawn characterizations, interesting if not especially witty dialogue, high production values, and a gritty, lived-in feel that made you believe you were in Montana in the late 19th century. To me "Firefly" feels very much like that show set in space. I don't know if or how much Whedon was influenced by "Lonesome Dove", but there are several positive similiarities.
I plan on seeing the movie tomorrow (Wednesday), and catching the episodes as they show on SciFi. I don't have a DVD player as yet but this may be the impetus to buy one.
To Josh Whedon and the legions of fans that kept this jewel alive: Good Show!
