When I think about your question, a lot of things spring to mind, many of which have already be mentioned in other posts: the excellent writing, a wonderful cast, daring and unusual photography, topics and themes we can all relate too etc.
Another thing which makes Firefly so special for me is, of course, all you guys. The wonderful crowd of Browncoats all over the world. Being a Browncoat is so much more than just being a fan of a TV show and movie. It seems that most of us also become (or always have been) rebels in our private lifes, who stand up for our believes and against the mainstream, who help each other out and who do the impossible. And that makes us mighty ... not only as fans but also as human beings.
What always amazes me as well is, how much the crew and cast of Firefly are still supporting the show. That is truly something you rarely find, especially for a show that was cancelled so early. It would have been easy for the people involved to write it off as a 'failure'. But they didn't, in fact, people like Joss, Nathan and many of the others still say that they'd jump right back in if they got the chance.
All that together makes a wonderful mixture and more than the sum of its parts. That's what makes Firefly special. It seems that really every aspect of the show was and still is somehow great and wonderful. Except, of course, the broadcasting network.
Keep flyin',
