Maybe you found out about Firefly on your own (if so, feel free to give yourself a pat on the back). Maybe a Browncoat introduced you to it. Possibly even a friend who didn't even like it that much. But whoever got you hooked on Firefly/Serenity, they definitely deserve to be thanked for doing it. So post a thanks to them in this thread!

I want to thank Qwerty and my friend Yau for getting me interested in Firefly. Love you guys!

Thanks to my ex-boyfriend, but still friend, who started me on this by showing me the website for serenity that was so awesome we were both way excited to go see the movie. I got the BDM and he got the BDS (though I have my own now) and tons of fun and hi-larity ensued. Yay firefly!

stay shiny,

Thanks to my friend Harley who told me about a marathon that was coming on Scifi. Granted, I had already watched the movie, but this got the fire under my butt to buy the series.

We sniff the air, we don't kiss the dirt.

Thanks to my friend Barron who told me "Hey, they're gonna show Firefly on Sci-Fi as a lead-in to SCI-FI Friday!"

I was hooked in the first 15 minutes.

Thanks to Dave who made me sit through the pilot, even though I wasn't too keen on seeing at the time.

My life turned around that day.

Thank you to my best friend Lexie. For hounding me for months and then buying me the box set for my birthday and forcing me to watch it... I will forever be in your debt. And yes, you were right.

Thank you Aisling for getting tapes of Firefly from the US that actually play here so I could see the show all those years ago... And thank you for buying Serenity for me for Christmas :)

Thank you Geekmafia for letting me borrow your Firefly DVD when I loaned mine to Aisling and then missed it too much. I promise to get myself a second one soon. Thank you also for downloading the FireflyTalk podcast so I can listen to it when I visit, and for showing me all the cool Firefly Serenity tee shirt websites and where to get the best screencaps for my animations - and then letting me save them since I don't have access to the net at home! Thank you also for hours and hours of Browncoaty conversation - you're the bestest Browncoat brother in the world

Thank you, um, Netflix.

Thanks for making putting Serenity in my recommendations over and over again until I gave in and watched it. And thanks for then immediately showing me that you had the series available for immediate shipment, too, and then recommending all sorts of other goodies based on the rating I gave Serenifly.

And thanks to my son for asking for the series on DVD for his 12th birthday, because Daddy said we were buying too many DVDs and had put a stop to my buying and this was the only way I got them into the house.

"No power in the 'verse can stop me!"

Thanks to Aveline - my friend who holds regular 'Buffy Fests' and mentioned 'Firefly' to me ... then got me to house-sit for 4 months so that I would have to watch her copy of it at some stage... I bought my own set before I moved out!!!!

"I love my Captain!"

Thanks to my wife, who convinced me I should see Serenity and then getting the box set from a friend so I could see the whole series. I also want to thank her for sitting there with me for the whole marathon viewing and sharing my joy at discovering this gem.
Ta gra agam duit, Tara!

Thanks SmokeyJoe, who caught me at exactly the right time to get me to add these to my newly reopened Netflix queue, a little over a month ago. And to the countless others over the last 4 years to whom I always responded "yeah, I've been meaning to check that show out sometime...."

And a big thanks to the evil people of my childhood and teen years who helped me to seek out the comfort of 'verses like that of Serenity's ;)

QUIETSERENITY

Thanks to my friend Matt who sat my husband and I down on the couch and wouldn't let us get up until we'd watched it. Yes, all of it. It was a great weekend, and although I initally protested, I soon fell in love.

And further, thanks to Matt for loaning us his series for as long as we wanted, so we could watch it over and over...

Mal: You know, you ain't quite right.
River: It's a popular theory.

KINROEDARKSTONE

I would like to thank a very old friend, Matt L., for introducing me and my wife to Firefly/Serenity. Matt came to us with VHS tapes of the first 8 episodes, in order( thanks Sci-Fi channel). I was hooked and after we watched these 8, stretched over 4 weeks every Tuesday night in March 06, I found the remaining eps. on Netflix and we finished off the series and the BDM. Thanks once again Matt L. for giving me a wonderful 'verse to fall in love with. Stay Shiny!

Wash: Closing in.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a might fast.
Wash: That's just 'cause I'm goin' down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: Well, if that happens, let me know.

And thank you DH because if you hadn't introduced me to the show I never would have found this shiny little corner of the web and all the nice people in it.

Thank you Julian for encouraging me to watch firefly. It's an awesome show and it certainly helped me regain my composure after my girlfriend (the woman who you warned me about and called crazy since the day I met her) broke up with me.

Thanks to my two dear friends who, together, got me hooked. Now, we have a fabulous time discussing the 'verse together and sharing the Firefly/Serenity experience.

Thanks to my daughter, a first-degree
browncoat who watched the Fox show and
then started in on me.
Sent me the fff.net URL and gradually got
me hooked.
Sent me a prezzie on which to play the
DVDs.
I was gone, hopeless, before the pilot was
over.

Well, here I am....
