Good story SameErtia!
It's such a happy thing that FF is airing on SciFi channel again, hooking lots more little red and blue fish who might have missed Serenity in the theaters.
Thanks to viral marketing...SERENITY: reopening soon in a theater near you.

I had a buddy ask me to go see Serenity. I asked him the 1000.00 question everybody asked, What's it about?? He really didnt know, he just saw the trailer and thought it looked good. He told me some other people described it to him and he thought about giving it a chance. So I said ok. Lets give it a try. Now there are 2 times in my life where movies have had a big impression on my life. 1. When my Dad took me to see the 1st Star Wars in 1977. Changed my life. The whole trilogy did, as with everybody else. 2. When I saw Serenity. It was so full of humor, characters, and action. It made me a Browncoat over night. I went out and bought the Firefly DVD and watched them all and still do. I am so hungry for more. Sadly it looks like there wont be much more anytime soon. I am burned out on Star Wars, Star Trek and SciFi in general. So I am glad Firefly/Serenity came along give my borning scifi life a boost.
thanks

I remember seeing the commercials for Firefly and remember thinking "Oh wow, I gotta watch that." But since they hardly promote it much I sort of forgot, I know, Bad Fallen Angel, BAD! Saw bits and peices of Serenity and Train Job skipped over to War Stories and then skip over to Objects In Space and then they were no more.
Fastforward to many, many months back. Looked up Joss Whedon on IMDB and found out that he found out he did Firefly." Oh yeah, I remember that show." Learned it got axed and he was going to continue it with Serenity and from then on I got hooked. Started watching the dvds by way of Netflix and I have been a proud fan ever since.
The End.

Hook, line and sinker
Our two teenage sons started watching and taping Firefly over the summer. As soon as they found out about the movie, they started a countdown to the movie release. The first Saturday it was out, our whole family drove an hour to get to a theater showing the film. We (ages 12-50+)all LOVED it!
My husband and I particularly liked the music but the dialogue....wow! It was like the old Han Solo in the barroom scene - fun, witty repartee. And so....my new life began.....
I ordered the DVD's and watched the first DVD straight through. I could barely stand to wait for the next evening and watched 5 episodes and was a zombie at work the next day. Meanwhile, our 14 year-old daughter got hooked and now she can stand being in the same room with me if I am watching a "Firefly" episode! Just bought the companion book and pre-ordered the "Serenity" DVD so my next few weeks are taken care of.
Last Friday night, we all watched Out of Gas together. It is so nice to be able to find something we all agree on.
Great series!....figures it was canceled!
Thank you browncoats for supporting the series and helping to make the movie a reality!

Unfortunately, theaters frown on that. Especially when they're trying to take the film out of the reel and you're trying to put it back in. They tend to get techy about that. Go figure.
Lol. That's fantastic. I can just imagine someone doing that.
"Get out of here!"
"No, you don't understand! I have to watch MORE!"
"Give me that!"
Hehehe. Good story btw. We'll forgive you for not watching it right away.

For me it was the Friday night in 2002 when "The Train Job" first aired. I swallowed the hook almost immediately and watched the whole episode with great enjoyment.
I was there on opening night as well. My Buffy and Angel upbringing suggested I would enjoy a new Whedon creation. My main concern going in was "if it's 500 years in the future, how will the characters make pop culture references?"... a staple of Whedon's writing style.
'The Train Job' didn't end up being my favorite episode of Firefly, but the following moments cemented my allegiance to the show in that opening hour:
Quote:
"I didn't fight in no war. Best of luck to you."
"Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing."
Mal learns he just robbed the common folk of their meds... "Son of a bitch!"
"Would HIS job be available?"
The whole Jayne gets doped scene.
The big caucasian Maori guy gets kicked into the engine... "right there with you! best thing for everybody!"
The altruistic return of the meds. "A man has a choice." "I don't believe he does."
I also loved the special effects. From the interactive video desk to the train with Serenity swooping in on top of it.
The show won me over instantly. I shouldn't have feared: Joss adapted his writing style to suit the needs of the show perfectly.
I only wish Kaylee could have had a line about having to clean up the mess in the engine after Mal put someone through it!

When I went to Best Buy to purchase a copy of the first third of Forever Knight and saw the price tag. I remember saying something about how the studio was smoking crack if it expected a lot of fans to buy the set at that price and moved on when I saw this show by Joss Whedon that I didn't even know that he had done. I bought it, took it home and have enjoyed it ever since.
