Cryx (from this board...can never remember how to spell her full user-name, though I can say it) is my favorite convert. I bugged her for weeks "You HAVE to watch Firefly." Finally...I brought the DVD's over...and they screwed up her computer. She spent the rest of the afternoon freaking out and swearing at the computer while fixing it.
Thankfully, her grandpa is, while not a browncoat per say, someone who enjoys the show. Alot. So he let us use HIS computer to watch the DVD's. We got through Jaynestown in one sitting. She has since watched the rest without me...most more then I have.
Other attempted conversions included - my mom...who hates Sci-fi of all sorts...or at least she claims to. This dosen't explane why she crawled up onto my bed with me and squeezed my hand toward the end of the BDM. (she claims it was just 'cause "it was getting tence") My friend Lisa - I had to leave the room during the "she's dead" part of the pilot eposode. I litteraly had to run to the bathroom and leave it playing so I could get through it without my face being a dead (pun not intended) give-away. Ditto on that point with my step-mom, who, intrestingly enough, is also named Lisa. She was ALMOST a successful convert, then she swore off all violent programing. grrrr...
I'm proud to say I'm more obsessed then the browncoat that introduced me to this show. ...though...she has a Jayne hat, and I don't.

If all goes according to plan, by tomorrow my three firefly-related items (the series DVDs, the graphic novel and the BDM DVD) will all be on loan to three different people. Two of whom are already pretty much converts and one who's expressed interest...
(Though as with a certain other person we could all name, what I plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar...)

I had been trying to get my mom and stepdad to watch the show for a few weeks. I was watching them all the time, but they never came in to see what it was all about, though they kept telling me they would watch them sometime.
So I left the thrid disk in the player at one point, because I thought I'd watch more of it but I got up to do something and forgot. At this point I'd gone through them all three times and just wanted to revisit some favorites.
So my stepdad turned it on, I guess, and said "Hey! I'll watch this now then!" Of course it was the thrid disk, but OoG isn't a bad one to start on at all. Apparently he watched the whole disk and then went back to the beginning and watched the pilot. His only comment to me was "I shoulda watched this sooner!"
Wish I'd been awake when he first started them up...

I have converted many people but my favorite has to be my boss, which is also my most recent.
I have blabbed at work about this show since i first saw it, and my boss always made fun of my obsession. Finally when the movie came out I was trying to convince him to go see it and he blew it off- saying it didn't sound interesting. Recently, he told me in passing that he had rented it and that it was "okay." Come to find out later from his wife that he had watched it at least 5 times that weekend!
The next day I loaned him the Firefly boxset.
