So when did you become a Firefly fan?
Bought the DVD when I was across in the States in December 2003. (editted to add a little). The point I became a fan when watching the DVDs was - no S*&t "Cry baby cry"/"Make your mother sigh". I can't explain it, but it stuck there and then.
What attracted you to the show?
Joss Whedon's name was attached - I heard very little about the show before I got the DVD, but all that I heard was good.
Who is your favourite character?
Kaylee. Mainly because of Jewel's portrayal but also the fact that the character is the heart of the crew, as Joss has pointed out.
Which is your favourite episode?
Toss up between Out of Gas and Objects in Space. I think I'll go for Objects because River's speech breaks my heart every time.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Simon at his most bumblingly stumblingbly mumblingbly. (are all of those even spelt right? - I know its tough since none are real words)
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
Another few points on the Nielsens. Oh, in the series itself? Okay - that the big arc that was sitting there about to reveal would have had the first tug of the corner of the curtain.
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
That the curtain will open a bit (I liked the last metaphor and I'm running with it)
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
4 so far, and I think each has, in true Hitchcock's three investigator style, has hooked another 2 more (Jeeper's Pete, someone get the reference)
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Kaylee and Mal.
Which characters do you which had collaborated more?
Mal and Inara/Kaylee and Simon (I'm an old romantic at heart)
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
Note sure - I'll hold my hands up and admit I didn't like the song until some way through my watching of the series, though its really grown on me.

So when did you become a Firefly fan?While watching Train Job when it premiered on FOX.
What attracted you to the show?
The premise of a Space/Western mix. Oh and Gina Torres.
Who is your favourite character?
It's between Jayne and Book.
Which is your favourite episode?
Out of Gas, with OIS a close second.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
None. But if started to torture me I'd say Wash, and hope Zoe arrived to buy my freedom.
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
???
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Ideally I'd like to find out more about Book. Perhaps we could find out what he was talking about at dinner before the fire. But I am looking foward to Mal's personality shown as much darker (more like I think Josh intended).

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
Last weekend officially, when I bought the DVD's! I had seen a few eps beforehand though, and thought it was fantastic.
What attracted you to the show?
Well, I only heard about it 'cuz it was a Joss show, but also the fact that it had such a huge cast.
Who is your favourite character?
River. She's the most amazing girl ever1
Which is your favourite episode?
Hmm...either Serenity, Safe, Ariel or War Stories.
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Simon, I guess. *sigh* If only I had his good looks...
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
More of the Blue hand guys, they were very creepy! And more flashbacks of maybe, how River went to the school, and what happened there, and how those guys got her out. And we discover more of Inara and Book. And Simon and Kaylee would finally kiss! If not have hot sex in the engine room!
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
Much of what I said before!
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
None, yet, I have at least 4 people in mind though...
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Simon & River. I just admire that he gave everything up, to save her...and he would give his life for her...he's amazing! I wasn't so sure of her love for him though...until OIS, when he's shot, and she screams! And I love moments like "I never thought you'd come for me" ; "Your a dope." : "Time to go to sleep again?" ; "No, mei, mei. Time to wake up" : And I really love the way he fights for her in "Safe".
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Hmm...I think I'd like the talks between Simon and Inara. Also I would have liked more Simon/Wash or River/Wash moments.
And finally...
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
"There's no place I can be, since I found; Serenity."
I think it's supposed to mean that now they've found Serenity, they would never leave to live somewhere else.

So when did you become a Firefly fan?
While in Afghanistan. Found the DVD set at the PX then commenced to converting my entire company.
Quote:
What attracted you to the show?
I love how compelling the characters are, and how the writers can choke you up with a single line or scene that catches you by surprise.
Quote:
Who is your favourite character?
Mal. Hands down. I identify with the 'noble sonofabitch' thing.
Quote:
Which is your favourite episode?
That's tough to answer, really. There are so many things about each episode that grab me.
Quote:
Which Firefly character would you say you were most like?
Again, Mal. Easy. I like to keep things simple and smooth. . .I'm not easily flustered. . .and I'm very protective of my crew.
Quote:
What do you hope would have been achieved in the first Season, if it hadn't been cancelled?
I don't think anything should have been truly resolved in the first season. I think the closest should have been a face-to-face between Mal and the two creepy blue hand agents. I had a feeling they were going to be regular antagonists.
Quote:
What do you hope will happen in the movie?
I'm just so gorram glad the movie is happening that I can't even begin to nail down a specific desire!
Quote:
So, how many people you converted to Browncoats?
Alot. My entire company in Afghanistan, my wife, several friends . . .alot.
Quote:
Which is your favourite relationship on the show?
Jayne and Book, hands down. The two most unlikely to become 'buddies' are just that. They work out together. . .experiment in the kitchen together. . .it sounds like a cheesy cop show on F*X. "He's a merc. . .He's a priest. . .and together, they're fighting crime!"
Quote:
Which characters do you wish had collaborated more?
Hard to say, really. There was such great chemistry the way it was. I think the relationship between Book and River has great potential, though.
And finally...
Quote:
Which is your favourite line form "The Ballad of Serenity?"
The 'chorus'... "You can't take the sky from me." In literature, one of the most common symbols of hope is a clear sky. This song grabbed hold of me because I truly discovered this show in Afghanistan, fighting against those who seek to destroy hope. Those who defend. . .those who fight terror. . .the soldiers, the police, the firemen and EMS. . .we're the ones who are fighting to make sure that the bad guys don't "Take the sky from us" anymore.
