I have watched most of the series but still have a few to watch. I did watch the movie when it came out and can see where I should have watched them all before seeing the movie. Still really enjoyed the movie.

it is really good! for someone used to trek, maybe too many guns. but overall really good.

wait, there's a movie?! i need to see that!

I watched the movie before I watched the series...

and I do not recommend that!  It is a bit confusing, although Joss tried his best to make it reasonably standalone.

Firefly is so fantastic.  Too bad it wasn't on Sci-fi or somewhere where it could have survived with lower ratings.

they're having a marathon on the science channel  on 4th of july. it'll be sweet! ;D

Ive just started watching it, mainly because i've been invited to a CSTS event in a few weeks time. Wish i'd watched it earlier as i cant believe how awesoem it is. Still got ten episodes to go :D

Wow, and I thought I was late when I finally got around to watching it last year. Better late than never!

As a sign of just how amazing Firefly is, even my wife, who is not a fan of most sci-fi in general, *loved* it. Amazing character development, great setting, great storytelling (out of gas is my favourite). Great show.

In some ways, I'm glad I waited until I had the chance to watch everything in order, the way fox network wouldn't let me. I could easily see how watching it in broadcast order would add to the confusion..,

It's also a huge fav for my non-sci-fi loving wife! We watch it together all the time on DVD. :)

It gets nothing but better and when it's over, you just so wish there was more!

...and now attempting to get my parents hooked on it. As long as they can stay awake, I think I'm set...

Btw, idk if anyone heard, but it was announced recently that the 2nd movie of Firefly was never happening.  But, considering how long its been since the last one, not too surprising.

I didn't like Serenity (film not episode) but adored the series.

Jamie isn't a big fan of the film either. I like it and it certainly has some great moments, but it's also very dark and would have benefited from a bit more of the light heartiness that made the series so special.

Well just so you guys know there are comic books out there that continue the story, or at least tell more of the story in that verse.. all are well worth getting.

"Those Left Behind" is the 3 part series that takes place between the last tv episode and the movie Serenity



"Better Days" is a 3 part series that takes place sometime during the TV season



"Serenity - The Shepherd's Tale" A story all about Shepard Book


ElfManDan

I wish Joss would turn the comics into a regular series like Buffy season 8 though. I love those three, but we need more.
