I would say that is about average, but well below the amount of time I have spent either watching Firefly or Serenity, reading the comics, novelization and companion books, listening to the soundtracks, etc. Add to that the times I have been to a shindig, convention or CSTS screening, I am sure I am close to 500 hours by now.

But there is rarely an hour that has gone by since September 20, 2002 that I have not thought of Firefly in one way or another. I'm obsessed, but I am also very comfortable with that.

If anyone takes issue with that then it's their problem, not mine.

I don't get it. I mean, sure I like it too, but really, I don't LIVE it!! I've only seen each ep like 12 times now, and the movie over 45, but that doesn't mean I'm obsessed like y'all...that's only, let me do the math here...90 hours for the movie...120 hours for the show...see, that's only 210 hours I've spent on this thing, and that's hardly....uh...like, uh, nine days..., so see...

Hmmmmm...

Maybe I need some gorram help

Then I think about the money I spent and I can't believe it.

Does this make me overly obsessed? I'm ok with that.

Can anyone do the math?

Wow. I started this thread in fun...who knew it would come to this?
I hope you get well soon, Whozit. Talk to folks, get to know them & whatnot. There's a lot of peeps out there just as scared & lonely as you are.

It's officially my favourite movie of all time. The only other movies I seen more times are Star Wars & Enter The Dragon, and that's just cause they've been around a lot longer.
How could you not be a fan of it?
OK, I know...Wash....

Originally posted by Misstressahara:
No, not just Wash OR Book (everybody always forgets about him) it's inconsistancies (sp?) with the characters, time line issues, focusing too much on new characters (Mr Universe and those twins, time that could have gone more towards Inara, Book, Wash). It just..... things felt off, unbalanced and wrong. Now don't get me wrong, it is a good movie and maybe one day I'll pop it into the tray, but as it stands it's not something I can watch over and over like some films. To me the movie is a shadow of the greatness that is Firefly. But that's my opinion and I wouldn't force it on anyone or argue with those that love it.

Now if this was done over time, spaced out over a year in small doses, like maybe a second season, but we never got that and Joss just fit too much into a two hour span. And the characters especially paid for it. JMHO.

Well, actually, my all-time favorite is Steve McQueen's Le Mans. Must've watched that at least 237 times! (Wore out my table-top DVD player!)
First really super-realistic movie I saw as a kid — I've always been obsessed with the cinematography.
