Hi there, Latebloomer
Welcome, Welcome! All are welcome.
Doesn't matter you came late to the dance, you came just the same - so take your shoes off and make yourself ta' home.
About getting your dad to watch. If he likes westerns, he'll love Firefly. I'm a western fan myself from way back and I fell in love with FF the moment I saw the promos back in 2002 (for the tv series). The horses running free and Serenity flying over them - great stuff. Just show your dad that and see what he says.
Anyway glad you're with us.
Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

Sometimes seeing the newer fans and all their enthusiasm is all that keeps me going...
Fortunately, that sometimes isn't all that often!

Being a Star Trek fan from way back, it has been hard for me to watch Sci-Fi shows on TV, not sure why..I guess I figured they could not measure-up. All I can say is, I am very sorry that I never watched Firefly before now. It grabbed me right away, as I zoomed thru the DVD series, and watched the movie this weekend. I am speechless, what a fantastic show! Planning to buy all the Blu-rays as they come out!
Sorry to be late....
I think it's really great that a Star Trek fan like yourself appreciates Firefly. I too am a huge Trek fan, even more so since I started watching the DVD's on a big screen TV. The truth about both shows is that although the epsiode plots are interesting, they're NOT the driving force of the shows....it's the characters, people you come to know and love, and their interaction with eachother which makes both shows special.

New fans who want to evangelize no longer have to worry about borrowers not returning their box sets...you can tell your friends that all the episodes are on hulu.com--all legal and free.

Yes! I agree it is the characters and the interaction between them that really make these shows great! I always loved the sarcastic interaction between Spock and Bones in Star Trek. In Firefly, I love the off-color humor that surprises you and makes the show more real...especially the more suttle things that not everyone will catch... like Jayne's "I'll be in my bunk" comments.

Yes, Inara's profession is my biggest worry. The kids already seem to hear an awful lot of adult themes at school, don't want my son adding to that by talking about Inara.
