Hello ShinyHappyJaynestown,
I'm a relatively recent addict to the Firefly drug as well.
In response to your question (warning gets a little off-topic):
I actually saw the movie Serenity before I watched Firefly, so it was a little backwards for me. In addition, there was about a 2 year span between when I saw Serenity and when I started watching Firefly. I think what initially hooked me were two things, the ship Serenity and the music; both of them were so beautiful that I just couldn't pull myself away. The movie grabbed me from that first scene where they start in close on the Serenity logo and then pull away and do a flyby of the ship; after that, I was glued to my seat.
I think I avoided watching the show right away for two reasons:
1) I was unsure that a TV show could affect me the way the BDM had.
2) I knew that Firefly had been canceled extremely early in its run, so I was worried... well basically that I would love it, and therefore be destroyed by the brevity of it's existence.
When I finally watched the show, Fear #1 was immediately thrown out the window, somewhere between "Makes us mighty" and "I'm not a grandpa", I fell in love. That left Fear #2, and I have to say that it has been assuaged somewhat. I am still upset with how short Firefly's tv run was, mainly because there was obviously so much more story to be told. But I have found that the end of Firefly's tv run was not the end of her existence, that she lives on through the passion of her fans.
