What fascinates me about Firefly, and makes it unique, is that it is the only thing of its kind in HOW ITS FOLLOWING DEVELOPED AFTER JUST ONE SEASON THAT WAS CANCELLED.

I see you did some homework, so I'm guessing you've seen that it has generated one of the biggest TV-show fan bases around FOR what it was, and the fact that it ran for 14 stinking episodes and then was gone.

More interesting, I know that thousands and thousands have since become HUGE fans of it in the decade following the Serenity movie. And it still acquires new, major fans to this day.

I'm super freaking picky about TV and I just don't really watch it in general. I didn't have any expectation of loving Firefly, and it was oddly magical in that it was the first time a TV show--especially of such an odd genre combination--had made me truly feel like the characters HAD TO BE REAL.

I found would MISS them, I still miss them, like dear old friends I understand and wish I could have a smoke or scotch with while shooting shit in the desert with old revolvers. LOL

I watched episode one without much intrigue and was sobbing by the end of the show thinking, WTF? I don't cry at TV shows, WHY DID THIS HAVE TO END?

It was a lesson in TV humility, I dropped my snobbiness down a notch that day. :)

I loved all the scripting, I loved the acting even if it wasn't perfect, and the story captured me so well that my heavily-aesthetics-focused brain didn't seem to give a damn about camera work or even notice (another weird anomaly for me).

I am totally a shameless practically-cult-fan, but I have not found a show since Firefly that fires on all cylinders quite the same way.

I am the delusional dreamer hoping for any collaboration to return with the members of the crew of Serenity, for sure.

Firefly is not the greatest thing on earth to most, but there's something interesting about how big they've grown compared to when the show was actually on, and how fast the following still grows...
