I just love polls, so I thought I'd make one for us Firefly fans.

How old are you? 21

Male or female? F

Single or taken? VERY taken

Location? Sydney, Australia

When did you start watching Firefly? Maybe a month ago, the DVDs haven't been out here in Australia very long.

Who are two of your favorite characters? I really like Zoe, Wash, Mal, Kaylee, and River so that's tough. Probably Zoe and River (best crazy chick ever).

What are two of your favorite episodes? My all time favorite is War Stories. I could pick many #2's but off the top of my head I choose Objects in Space.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? ZOE AND WASH BABY!!

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Hell yes, both of them

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? It might be because I've still got that 'new fan' high but right now I could probably say Firefly is better...get back to me when I've been a fan a few months though, like I have been with Buffy and Angel.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Probably a movie and some more seasons because if it was on long enough that would add up to be a lot more Firefly.

How old are you? 34

Male or female? M

Single or taken? Married

Location? Richmond, VA U.S.A.

When did you start watching Firefly? I have been watching since the show premiered on Fox.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal is by far my favorite. I seem to identify w/ him the most. Jayne is my 2nd favorite character as he seems to have quite a bit of potential for character growth, not to mention his comic relief is shiny.

What are two of your favorite episodes? My favorite is Out of Gas. War Stories comes in a close second.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal & Inara. The tension between them is thick enough to cut w/ a knife, but it provides some very interesting one liners and potential for future plots.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I watched Buffy from episode one to the end. I have all the seasons on DVD as well. I have watched all but the last season of Angel on television, but never really found the need to purchase the episodes on DVD.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Without a doubt, Firefly surpasses Joss's previous work in Buffy & Angel. Firefly seems to be the story Joss was meant to tell. I was skeptical at first when the ads ran on Fox, but everything about the show, from the concept to the scripts are all perfect. Firefly is by far my favorite sci fi series.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Definitely a movie and then more seasons on TV. A movie would help to generate interest in the uninitiated and fire up the existing fanbase. When it is successful a return to TV would be a hit. Movies are great, but honestly I would love to have one hour installments weekly.

How old are you? 23

Male or female? F

Single or taken? Single

Location? Orlando, Florida

When did you start watching Firefly? About 2 months ago. Rented the series from Netflix because it had Alan Tudyk in it, ended up loving the show.

Who are two of your favorite characters? That would have to be Wash (of course) and Jayne. They just seem to have the best lines, very funny.

What are two of your favorite episodes? My two favorite episodes are Our Mrs. Reynolds and Jaynestown, they are the best if you want a good laugh.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I like the relationship between Mal and Inara. I can't wait to see what they do wiith it in the movie.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I have seen some episodes of Buffy.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? From what I have seen of Buffy I would have to say that Firefly is way better. There's more that can be done with the story line and the characters are better.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I would prefer a movie and more seasons. With three movies it's over after 3 movies. More questions would be able to be answered in a new season, plus there would be more to watch as opposed to a few extra hours on the big screen.

How old are you? 19, nearing 20.

Male or female? F

Single or taken? Single.

Location? Depends on the time of year. At the moment, New York.

When did you start watching Firefly? December '03. My dad and brother had been big fans when it was first broadcast, but I was never around to see them-- then the DVDs came out. What a beautiful thing. Now I'm hooked

Who are two of your favorite characters?
Wash, without a doubt-- I have a soft spot for the funny guys-- and... hmmm. It's so hard to pick and choose. It's like telling a mother to pick a favorite of her children. I guess Mal-- he's both a classic hero and a very unconventional hero, and I love that he's got both types of hero going on for him.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Can I pick three? War Stories, Ariel, and The Message.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Simon and River. I gotta tell ya, at the beginning of the series, Simon really bugged me-- until I saw how he was with his sister, and how she was with him. One of the most interesting relationships on the show. Full of depth. Watching the two of them interact... it just gets under your skin.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
I'm a big Buffy fan. Not so much with Angel-- frankly, he was a little too broody for my taste-- but I watched the first and last seasons of it. Buffy, though, I followed all the way from the very beginning to the bitter end.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Well, they're all different... I think Buffy and Firefly are both better than Angel, though.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Movie and more seasons. It just worked so well in episodic format. And hey, then there would be something to look forward to in the otherwise fairly vacant world of television each week!

All right. Over and out.

How old are you? 26

Male or female? M

Single or taken? Single

Location? Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Earth, 'Verse

When did you start watching Firefly? From the
very first episode airing on Fox. Thought the show was only decent to good that first time, but by the time Our Mrs. Reynolds aired, I knew I loved it.

Who are two of your favorite characters?
I'm sorry, I refuse to answer that on the grounds that my brain may explode if I try.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
My favorite episode is Objects in Space. Next to that is Ariel. (And coming in third is Our Mrs. Reynolds)

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Probably Simon and River, just because the devoted sibling relationship is pretty interesting.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Yeah, I've seen every episode of both of them. Don't own any DVDs though.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Hrm.. it's a bit of a tough call. If you compare the first 13 episodes of Buffy or Angel to the first 13 episodes of Firefly, Firefly wins. Firefly's also got the most consistant quality (which isn't hard to do with 13 eps vs 100). However, I still don't think the best of Firefly beats the best of Buffy/Angel. Close maybe, and had it survived I'm certain it would have gotten
there, but not quite.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?

I'd prefer a movie and more seasons on TV. Hell, I'd prefer a movie and several made for TV miniseries.

I noticed this too. While Buffy and Angel's first episodes were a bit bumpy...with some good and some, well, not so good (The Puppet Show anyone? Ugh.), Firefly was very consistant with it's episodes. There wasn't a stinker in the lot of 'em, though one in particular bugged me the first time I watched it.
But after a few seasons, who knows? At the moment I've got my rose colored NEW FAN glasses on, so I can't imagine it ever going down in quality...but some would have thought the same about Buffy and then we got season 7.

How old are you? 24

Male or female? F

Single or taken? single

Location? San Francisco, CA at the moment, but I was born and raised in CT

When did you start watching Firefly? I saw a few episodes on tv...liked it, but didn't get hooked. About two months ago I rented the dvds from netflix and was amazed.

Who are two of your favorite characters? I can only pick two? Kaylee is by far my favorite...how can you not love her. She just makes me smile.
As for a second one, it changes depending on my mood. I love Simon, he's smart and awkward, and his dedication to his sister is beautiful. Mal also ranks pretty high. I think its his sense of honor that attracts me. Oh and Zoe just plain rocks! I could go on, but...


What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas is great. It all just fits together so well. And Objects in Space is amazing. I especially love the beginning, seeing the crew just relaxing, it just feels so intimate. I find something new I like in each episode every time I watch them.


What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I love the awkward and adorableness of the Kaylee and Simon relationship. But Simon and River is growing on me, there is so much at stake there. It's captivating.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I loved Buffy, but didn't really get into Angel until my old roommate got me watching. Haven't gotten quite hooked though. The dvds are on my list at netflix.(god I love netflix.)


Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Firefly is amazing. It's in a whole other 'verse. 'nuff said.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I would love to see more tv show episodes. I'm a tv junkie. But I have my doubts that it will happen...A trilogy would make me happy...hell why stop there, who says there can't be more than 3?

Well I guess that's it for now. It's nice to meet you all.

Location? St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada

When did you start watching Firefly? From the very first episode that aired. I'm a HUGE Whedon fan, so I tuned in, and was hooked faster than you can say "No power in the 'verse can stop me."

Who are two of your favorite characters? My ultimate favourite would be Kaylee, she has such a big heart...and Jayne of course because he's just hi-larious.

What are two of your favorite episodes? OMR and Shindig.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I love the tension between Inara and Mal, as someone said before, you could cut it with a knife. But I have to say that I'm a big Kaylee/Simon fan too.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Of course!! Like I said before, I'm a Whedonite through and through, so I've watched every single episode of both, from start to finish. (I miss the good ol' days when we had Whedon shows to watch every week )

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Like stated before, if you look at the first bunch of episodes from all three series, Firefly wins, but as a whole, I'm still loyal to my Buffy.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Well of course I'd like it to return to TV, so we'd all get more Firefly, but I'll settle for 3 amazing movies.

When did you start watching Firefly? October 2003. I missed the first couple of episodes but after seeing part of Our Mrs Reynolds I started watching. After Out of Gas I was hooked.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and Simon (and Kaylee and Jayne and River and Inara and Zoe and Wash and Book ).

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas (I loved it the first time I saw it even though I didn't even know the names of the characters) and Shindig.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Simon and Kaylee.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Yup, both.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? It's hard to judge since there is less of Firefly. But Firefly was able to hook me in a way that Buffy and Angel couldn't.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Is it wrong to say a trilogy and more seasons? Honestly, it doesn't matter to me, so long as the story gets told!!!

When did you start watching Firefly? March 15th, 2004. I don't why, but all of a sudden I decided to buy the DVDs. Firefly has never been broadcasted over here so I had only heard about it by ppl's messages on a buffy/angel forum - messages that I never really bothered to read as I didn't wanna be spoiled, in case we got it here too... It was a used region1 DVD box and it was not enough so I bought a new region2 DVD box :-) Never done that before!

Who are two of your favorite characters?
Mal and Wash

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Can I pick three? Out of Gas, War Stories

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Mal and Inara... or Book and Jayne? :-)

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Yep... though since I've discovered Firefly I don't have the same interest in them.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Yes... and no... This show seems more mature than the other ones, in terms of writing, relationships and themes. But Buffy and Angel are *different*, with the monsters and the present time. So I'm not sure about being able to do a comparison

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show? I don't know. Of course a few more seasons would be great but i love movies and i think a trilogy would be even greater. then we can wait for a decade to see tv producers have a brilliant idea for a new show: firefly 2.0 and we'll all discuss about good ol' times :-)

When did you start watching Firefly? End of August/beginning of Sept. 2004 (DVDs) -- thought I'd hate it, so I didn't watch it when it first premiered on TV... stupid move. I've found that I ignored most of my now-favourite shows when they first aired only to have to play catch up later on when I realized how good they were ;) You'd think I would learn!!

Who are two of your favorite characters? Kaylee and Mal -- no questions. I absolutely adore all of the characters, but these two have just grabbed onto me and I can't seem to shake them. Kaylee is such a real person - open, honest, trusting, yet so vulnerable at times. You can't help but feel everything right along with her. ..As for Mal, well, I suffer from a severe form of hero-worship - not to mention the fact that he's got a real sweet side behind that rough exterior!

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas is absolute genious. Period. ...Serenity comes in at a close second. Fox was damn stupid not to air this one first. It was slow - but it was deep enough to draw you in and an excellent introduction to the concept of the show and it's characters.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Kaylee. They have, by far, the most touching relationship out of all of them. It's wonderful how even when things are going horribly wrong, Mal can still manage to be patient and calm for Kaylee's sake. He's very protective of her and they have this wonderful way of flirting that seems like the most natural thing in the world to them.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? I've seen every episode of Buffy and own Seasons 1&2 on DVD. As for Angel - I've seen every season except for #3 (again with the catching on late and having to catch up) and I own Season 1 on DVD.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Honestly, I never thought that anything could surpass my love for those two shows - but Firefly is approaching that line very quickly. I don't think I've ever fallen into a fandom so quickly and wholeheartedly as I have with Firefly. Joss had done some amazing and beautiful work with this show. I don't have to look very hard to see that this was his baby.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I'd say one movie and a few more seasons, but I heard that after this movie they'd have to wait 5-10 years to get it back on tv. If that really is the case, then give me the trilogy -- instant gratification... shiny!

How old are you? 30

Male or female? M

Single or taken? Taken

Location? Atlanta, GA

When did you start watching Firefly? When they aired on Fox From the beginning

Who are two of your favorite characters? First, Mal, because he shoots first... in the face. and second Book, because Ron Glass has one of the greatest laughs around, and his back story, or lack there of, intrigues me.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Serenity, two hours of genius that would have gathered a following like no other fox show, and Objects in Space for the acting.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Blue Sun/Alliance and River. I really wish the show had been on long enough to hash this out, hope the movie doesn't give too much away so that the impending series has something to build from.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Own and watched every episode of both. many of the actors in both shows looked like the rolls had been played out by the end.

Do you think Firefly is as good as or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Firefly and Buffy were both built from something Joss wanted to do. I will answer this way, Firefly overall showed a much more mature Mr. Whedon, and as such is a much better show. That maturity got in the way of Buffy and her adolescent charm. Firefly is what Joss was meant to do.

Side note: Hush is probably one of the greatest hour long (non-season finale) episodes of any television series to date.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Can I choose the best of both worlds? Trilogy and then more TV? The rights are tied up in some mess with the networks so the movies are more likely for now.

When did you start watching Firefly?
About a week ago, though I've been watching Buffy & Angel for about a year.

Who are two of your favorite characters?
Hmm... Hard choice. But since my mom always told people that she liked Ringo... I'll be a bit different and go with Simon and Kaylee. I enjoy Simon as a character because I can relate to him a bit. He seems a bit out of place, but has great inner strength to get through it. He has given up so much and people (in the Firefly universe, not in RL) can't really seem to understand what that means. Why I like Kaylee? Just 'cause. But really, I likeall of them and all kidding aside, if I answered this poll another day i'd probably pick Mal and Inara. So go figure...

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Out of Gas - It's as close to Storytelling gold as you can get.
Objects in Space - Joss was saying something with this episode, and yet he was saying nothing. I look at things differently sometimes because of this ep. Example: I was drying myself with a towel after a shower and I looked at the towel. I said to myself that it's just a piece of cloth, but in using it, I give it meaning - It's a towel. There are more examples, but that just came to my mind first.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Mal & Inara - there's just so much going on there. Inara's secret past, Mal's denial, etc.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Yup in the year since a friend told me about them I have watched all of Buffy multiple times (on DVD - Once More With Feeling about 7 times now), and have watched seasons 1 - 2 and most of season 3 of Angel. Oh, and the end of season 5.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Joss has grown so much as a storyteller since his first days with buffy. He has experimented (Hush, OMWF, Objects in Space) and shown storytelling perfection over and over again. Firefly was, in it's 14 episodes, much more consistent than nearly any 14 episodes of either Angel or Buffy (although I'm sure there are exceptions - note the use of "nearly"), expecially if you only compare first seasons. But I will withold judgement for now. It's just like said by someone else, it's a much more mature show, dealing with adult themes. And in that regard, I like it much more. (Plus I haven't watched my Buffy or Angel DVDs in a few months).

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Hard to say. I just want Joss to be able to tell all the stories he says he has left to tell in this universe. But from what I hear, it looks like a trilogy of Firefly movies is all we're going to get, so we better deal with it. But, whenever Joss gets back to TV, in whatever form, it will be a very, very good day.


Inara: What did I say to you about barging in to my shuttle?
Mal: That it was manly and impulsive?
Inara: Yes, precisely, only the exact phrase I used was "don't."

It's like asking an alcoholic what his favorite alcohol is. Out of the nine, I guess I'm gonna have to say Mal and Jayne.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Gonna have to go with Out of Gas as my #1 and Our Mrs. Reynolds as my #2.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Simon and Kaylee - you know they're gonna end up together...or are they?

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Both since season 1

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Not so much better, but just great in a different genre. Buffy was great in it's own way as was Angel.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Definitely have to go with movie and t.v. Johnny is a Firefly junkie and he needs his fix.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
I didn't really care for Buffy I never could get into that show although the few times I did watch it I enjoyed the Spike charactor ...I did watch and Like Angel but I lost interest in it the last two in a half seasons I felt that Joss teased and cheated ...he made a big whippty do about Angel and his son..I thought Angel was going to have to kill his son and the whole storyline just fizzled ..and he teased at a romance between Angel and Cordy and left it hanging..I was very dissapointed so I just stopped watching



Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?

Firefly is so much better...I loved it from the beginning..not many T.V shows are strong in story telling.... Firefly was not only entertaining but intelligent...

Better. No episode of Firefly touches the heights of the likes of Hush or The Body - however, it was a far far better 15 first episodes which boded very well for the future!

Both! To be honest I think it would have been better staying on TV.

Location?
Stoke, England

When did you start watching Firefly?
To be very exact, May 2nd 2004. The day I got back from seeing Nathan Fillion, Jewel Staite, and Summer Glau at the Blackpool Starfury: Serenity convention, I went out, bought the DVD set, and although I'm only a recent fan, I gotta say I've made up for it in the dedication I have to the genius!!!!

Who are two of your favorite characters?
Tough question! Kaylee is my number one. Second.... River, maybe. Though I also love Mal, Simon and Jayne LOL.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
The episode I love above all that is Jaynestown. Its hilarious, adnd there's Kaymon!

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Kaylee/Simon! Without hesitation

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Religiously! The Joss-verse IS my religion.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
I've been watching Buffy and Angel for the last eight years, and absolutely worship them. But after a quarter of a year of Firefly-ness, I gotta say, I like Firefly better. Firefly really can do no wrong.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
MORE SEASONS!!!

You're pretty.... pretty.

Afternoon Browncoats - thought I'd post here by way of an introduction...

How old are you? 20 years and three days

Male or female? M

Single or taken? happily taken

Location? London, England

When did you start watching Firefly? Three weeks ago.... can't believe I didn't hear about it before. I feel almost guilty...

Who are two of your favorite characters? Wash and Jayne, I'd say. Between them, they manage to generally convey what my reaction would be to any given situation.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of gas is pretty classic, but I have a soft spot for shindig, and the original pilot, serenity. I mean, I must have seen serenity ten times by now while converting new browncoats, and it still ain't getting old.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? probably Zoe and Wash, although there's a good dynamic between Jayne and Mal, especially after Ariel.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Used to watch a little buffy, once upon a time... never really sparked my interest. Good show, though - and damn well made.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I'd say so, yes.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? It has to be more episodes, for me. think what those guys could do with a couple dozen more hours of airtime.... :)

When did you start watching Firefly?
About a year ago - when it made it's debut on Sci-fi channel

Who are two of your favorite characters?

Jayne - It's so much fun watching a man who's self centred values conflict with all the other crew members, and the social conundrums he finds himself in.

River - I just love all her abstract rantings and "The Riddler" style speak.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Probably the Pilot episode and Objects in space. But they're all very strong.


What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?

Jayne and Book....
Jayne and Kaylee.. If the show had continued I'd have loved it if Jayne were to fall for Kaylee in a really noble way and then have Kaylee fall in love with Simon and Jayne have his heart broken...

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Of course. Big fan of both, with Angel coming out stronger for its profound storylines.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
It's superior in my eyes - but it's probably because it's a more mature show.

I wonder if they were released at the same time, which I would have related to more.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?

As much as I love a good trilogy I think the format of TV is better for Firefly so I would possibly go with one movie and then six to seven seasons of Firefly. Yeah seven seasons of Firefly,,,, Cool

When did you start watching Firefly?

December 2003 - picked up the DVD when on holiday in the States.


Who are two of your favorite characters?

Kaylee and Wash

What are two of your favorite episodes?

Objects in Space - fantastic writing

Out of Gas - ditto

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?

Zoe and Mal - its a twist on the usual war buddies.


Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?

Yes - and today I apologise for saying Chosen was a bad end to Buffy. Watched it again tonight, and whilst I still think the final shots are a big misstep (Xander quipping wise seconds after finding out, well you know what).

Haven't seen the final season of Angel yet - just about resisting the videos that just came out, but probably not for much longer.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?

Unfair to compare - as others said, start for start, Firefly is way better, but who knows how it would have compared over 100 episodes.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?

I'll take what I can get. I'm just hoping the movie springboards the careers of all involved (and so if Joss comes back to TV he can so something without being messed around).

When did you start watching Firefly? Day 1, first episode "Train Job". stupid out of order showing FOX.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal (like Nathan said of Mal, He has lost a lot and surrounded himself with people who have the qualities that he at least feels he has lost.)and Book.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas and Shindig.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Book (they're almost mirror images of each other in a twisted way.)

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? yes, both of them

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I loved both of those shows and would love to see more from them, Firefly is still better!

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Reality says we're getting three movies, I'd love to see more series after that though. should be past the 10 years by then.

When did you start watching Firefly? Watched it since the beginning. Might have missed an ep or 2 before I really was hooked. I mean, it did come on Fri night....

Who are two of your favorite characters? Clearly Mal, no question. Lots of things I can identify w/ the Capt.


What are two of your favorite episodes? Gee, this is a tough one.... OoG and..... So many great moments are found in each episode though. Our Mrs Reynolds or OiS tie for the other fav.


What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Didn't catch them the first few seasons, but tried to catch every ep as they wound down, especially Angel.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I like the character development in Angel. I'm real behind on getting to know the Buffy crowd, that I can hardly comment. Firefly , to me, is a whole different animal. I like the aspect that it deals w/ real life problems ( Mal trying to make a living, Zoe and Wash trying to keep a marriage together, etc )


Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? It's kinda a moot point now. FOX has sold the rights to 'versal, on the stipulation that there be no more t.v. shows. A trilogy ( and possibly an animated film ) is the best we can hope for.

Male or female? M

Single or taken? Single unfortunately

Location? Melbourne VIC Australia

When did you start watching Firefly? As soon as the DVD boxset came out here, watched all 14 in a couple of days. But have known about the show since it was first aired.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Hmmmmmm... It's difficult to seperate each character because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and unlike Buffy I don't dislike any character. I guess I like the intrigue surrounding Book, and Inara cos she's a hottie!


What are two of your favorite episodes? Again hard to seperate. I don't have favourites but Jaynestown was the funniest, I liked the history of Out Of Gas, War Stories was cool cos of River, as was Objects in Space, and I liked both Saffron eps.


What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? I liked Book and Rivers relationship best because I think it had a lot of potential and it was quite subtle, but I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Simon and Kaylee to get it on.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Watched them both from the beginning but missed a lot of Buffy while I was overseas so had to buy all the videos/DVDs. Liked Angel more to be honest.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Both Buffy and Angel didn't really get started until mid-second season. I thought Angel has been the best so far, but Firefly didn't go for long enough for all of the characters to get explored. We only got background episodes for a few of them!


Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Who cares as long as we get some of that Joss Whedony goodness!

When did you start watching Firefly?
August 4th, 2004 - The day the boxset was released here in Aus. But I knew about it from the "Dark Angel" cancellation debacle.

Who are two of your favorite characters?
As much as I love them all in their own special way, if I have to narrow it down I'd go for Cap'n Mal and Wash. I love the way they play off each other.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Talk about pulling teeth! Probably "War Stories", followed by "Out of Gas". "Serenity" Pts 1 and 2 are very close, though...

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
As much as I love Wash and Zoe's married dynamic, I think I'd have to go with Simon and Kaylee's budding romance.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Didn't watch either to start, but saw the last couple of seasons of both. I'm now working my way backward and filling in the gaps.


Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
As short as Firefly is, and as little information we have about each of the characters, I have to admit I enjoy the almost conspiracy-esque aspect of the Alliance, and the amazing character interaction between the whole ensemble. It gives the show a great-epic-plan feeling that I didn't feel so much in the latter seasons of Buffy and Angel - sure, they had seasonal arcs, but Firefly felt like it had this whole-series arc planned.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I could just agree with NewMelbourneFan:

Quote:

Who cares as long as we get some of that Joss Whedony goodness!
but if I had to choose, I'd probably go with a few more seasons on television - more character development, more Firefly overall, more "Whedony goodness"... and less pressure to organize a massive campaign for more quality sci-fi tv/film... :D

Hey, no worries about your age, people! At Buffyworld.com there was a fan that was well over 50 (can't remember the exact age - 60s or 70s maybe) and everyone thought that person was really cool for liking Buffy when most people that age would probably hate it. What's so great about the forums are you can meet people of all ages and backgrounds and talk about something you all really enjoy. It brings people together!

Location? Brisbane, Australia

When did you start watching Firefly? About three weeks ago after buying the DVD's,

Who are two of your favorite characters? It's gotsta be Jayne and Kaylee.

What are two of your favorite episodes? I would have to run with Objects In Space as my favourite. It has the perfect balance of comedy, drama, suspense, it really covers all bases. After that, possibly Jaynestown.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Either Mal and Kaylee's, I love the fact that nothing is ever said between them, but you know how close they are. Other than that I quite like Mal and Inara's also.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Bodering on obssessive for both shows.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Equally as good, I already place it in the same league after only seeing the episodes once. I think that somehow the characters on Firefly are just more engaging. I found I loved all of them almost instantly, whereas with the B+A you kinda grew to love the characters. The fact that can happen in 12 epsiodes says a whole lot about both the series and Joss' ability to create amazing characters.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Definetly would prefer to see Serenity and then continue on to more series. A few more series will allow much more character development and lets face it, 3 movies equals maybe maximum 7-8 hours worth of Firefly action, even two more series, even if they are only 12 episodes = about 20 hours of Firefly action, and I know what I would prefer.

Kinda got a bit carried away there. It be mighty good to meet y'all.

When did you start watching Firefly? A couple of months ago thanks to the website where you can download them in Realmedia formats lol. I first didn't get the show but once I knew all the characters, their relations and of course the tension and context wich goes with knowing that I was hooked. The episodes wich didnt seem so special at first now are incredible once you know the context.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and Wash, I love every character but those two are my faves.


What are two of your favorite episodes? My all time favourite is Out of Gas, the other would be The Message.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Zoe and Wash :).

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Yes, at first I didnt get Firefly and only began watching it after both of Buffy and Angel were finished and I got no other Joss show (only to find out that Firefly is better then both Buffy and Angel).

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Yeah, much better. Though a similair high I experienced with season 2 and 3 of Buffy and season 5 of Angel, but this does feel different and more involving.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I want it to be a tv show most of all. My favourite episode is Out of Gas wich I find brilliant wich works extremly well as a episode in a tv series, but it could never work as a stand-alone movie. Also following the characters over a number of years seeying them grow is a experience I still havent found a match of in any of the movies ive seen.

They showed it here last winter/spring, started watching it from the middle. After the first 10-20 minutes, loved it. It had all the things i've wanted to see in a scifi serie... and 100 times more things i didnt know i wanted to see, before i saw them. Well anyway after that, watched the rest of the episodes and after that bought the DVD set. Though i'll probably have to buy another one from UK, so i can convert my brother and sisters, as they dont have region free dvd players.

Who are two of your favorite characters?
Kaylee and River

What are two of your favorite episodes?
At the moment Serenity and Ariel. Objects in Space is also very good and is usually my favourite.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
Simon - River.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Used to watch them, but now they show them here so early when i dont watch TV.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
There isnt any show that is as good or better then Firefly

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Both, the best would be a serie and in the summer brakes there would be a movie.
But any Firefly, is good Firefly :)

Who are two of your favorite characters? Jayne, because I've been a fan of Adam Baldwin's since the early 80's. I actually like all the characters, but I REALLY like how Zoe can kick arse!

What are two of your favorite episodes? Ariel and War Stories.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Hmmm...hard to choose. I think Kaylee should grab Simon by the ears and plant him a big, fat kiss! But I really admire the loyal bond that Mal and Zoe have.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Nah, I have 2 young kids. We mostly watch Nick Jr!

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I wouldn't know about that, since I haven't seen either Buffy nor Angel.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Probably a movie and a few more seasons on the telly. This way I get the major motion picture fix as well as a weekly series fix!

How old are you? 33

Male or female? Female

Single or taken? Single as a snowflake

Location? Los Angeles, California

When did you start watching Firefly? On the first evening of the first US broadcast.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and River. Mmm, angst...tasty.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Classified by how much I re-watch 'em, not how much I love 'em (eg I love Out of Gas, but I can't watch it much because I prefer to laugh, not cry): Serenity and Our Mrs. Reynolds

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Zoe. I'm fascinated by military relationships -- the clash of emotion vs. duty and the way it shapes personalities.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Repeatedly!

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? At first, I didn't think so, but then I realized that I could re-watch Firefly episodes and see something new every time, and that's not true of most of Buffy and Angel. So, better.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I prefer Joss to write what he wants and to get the funding he needs. Beyond that I'm not picky.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and River.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas and War Stories.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Zoe and Wash.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Not really. I prefer westerns.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I'll take anything.

When did you start watching Firefly? Since the first ep on Fox.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Like most of you, I love them all, but I guess my favorites would have to be Mal, Wash, and Kaylee.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Loved them all, but favorites would be Serenity, Objects In Space, War Stories, Out of Gas, Bushwacked.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal & Inara; Simon & Kaylee

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Hell yes, both of them.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I think it is unfair to compare since Firefly only had 13 eps, but if you compare the first seasons of all three series then Firefly is hands down the winner. If Firefly had been given the chance to go on, I think it could have been the best series ever.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I would love to see the show come back to TV some day, but that is not likely to happen, so give me the trilogy of movies. Ah hell, I'm greedy, give me the trilogy and the series.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

When did you start watching Firefly? Maybe four months ago when I finished Angel on DVD

Who are two of your favorite characters? My favorites characters are without a doubt Jayne and Mal. Jayne is just perfect and shiny in a gritty, nasty, but kind of naive way. Mal is the most complex and interesting character to me.

What are two of your favorite episodes? I find myself re-watching Serenity the most out of all the epsiodes, so it must be my favorite. The epsiode that made me cry was The Message (and I really like the actor that guested - is he the only one to be in BTVS, ANGEL, and FIREFLY?)

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Serenity. Just thinking about what it stands for gets me right in the gut.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Not until last September. Now, I am a huge fan.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Yeah, although certain episodes of each series were incredible and as good as Firefly.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? One movie plus new seasons on DVD! I personally don't watch, don't like TV, but I LOVE to watch DVDs of television series. Kind of reminds of Doctor Who marathons on PBS when I was a kid. Many, many seasons of Firefly straight to DVD!

I'm both shocked and surprised that Mal and Serenity didn't come up more for favourite relationship! That is, after all the central relationship in the show and what it's essentially about. The whole show is about the ship - nothing in it is as important - the TV show was named after her class and the film after her name!

In OoG when those guys try to steal her - I just find myself thinking that whatever you try and do to Mal - you don't mess with his ship! And he's able to conjure up superhuman strength to see them off because of it - I don't know if he would have found those reserves if it was Inara they were messing with.

I love the moment when he first sees her in OoG. You can tell he's fallen in love with her straight away. It's definitely the relationship I'd like to have found out more about.

When did you start watching Firefly? Around June-July 2004 with downloaded divx's. Bought the box set when it came out here and been busy converting people since.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Jayne & Mal

What are two of your favorite episodes? Out of Gas, Jaynestown

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Jayne & Mal - confrontation at the end of Ariel was just brilliant.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Nup, neither. Just couldn't get into it. Watched a bit of Angel, but stopped after Gun and Fred got it on, which I just thought was wrong. Saw only 2 episodes of Buffy, one of which was something about her getting a haircut and going invisible. Didn't watch after that.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Better. Much, much, much better (from what I've seen of the other two shows). Not as contrived, feels more real.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? The latter. Definitely the latter. You can do so much more with a serial than a movie with large gaps of nothing in between. The depth, humour, relationships, it can only come about through intricate plot weaving over a good period of time. Usually the best thing about movies is that it's good bigger, better effects, but the effects in Firefly are just top notch anyway.

I couldn't agree more. I love all of the Mal/Serenity moments that appear throughout the series. It's an amazing cipher for what's going with Mal as a person. One of the deleted scenes on the DVD (where Zoe and Simon are talking) highlights the redemptive aspect that relationship. Zoe says something like, "Once you've been to Serenity, you never leave her" and the fact that Mal's relationship to Serenity as the watershed moment of his life, where he lost everything except Zoe, is being changed by the introduction of a family dynamic in ways that he never expected never ceases to be astound me.

Location? Skofja Loka, Slovenia, EU

When did you start watching Firefly? Since the Serenity pilot was available on the internet. Before Train job even aired. Immediately addicted and later upgraded to obsessed.

Who are two of your favorite characters? River and Simon. The great relationship between them and their opposite personalities...Simon's elegance and River's...well River is River.

What are two of your favorite episodes? The message for its ending and Serenity for getting me addicted in the first place.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? See above (two favourite characters)

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? YES and YES. How could I not?

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I liked Buffy, loved Angel and Firefly is beyond anything else. It is absolutely the best show I have ever seen...EVER! And I've seen a lot of them, believe me.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? This one's a no brainer, of course a TV show. Whatever provides more Firefly time. Plus you don't have to wait two years for a new episode.

Location? Sydney, UK

When did you start watching Firefly? As soon as I could get my grubby little hands on it, on one of our network channels, and then ordered the DVD from USA months before it came out over here.

Who are two of your favorite characters? Mal and Book. Probably because I still think there is a lot to discover about both of them even though I absolutely love all of the main characters.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Very tough choice, but had to go with The Message and War Games.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Mal and Inara. Has to be. The air crackles when they get together on screen with tension.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Yes.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Better. Everything he learnt from those two shows he put into this one, so it hit the mark from first moment, and didnt need time to find its feet, it was there from day one.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak, so i'd go for more TV, but reality tells me it will only be movies from here out.

When did you start watching firefly? About right now last year, can't remember the exact date. But it stayed with me 15 weeks 'fore I could watch it again. No Sci-Fi without Sky TV and I didn't even have a TV while at Uni.

Who are two of your favourite characters? River for being all manner of weird and the last surviving petty, London crook, Badger.

What are two of your favorite episodes? Ariel and War Stories.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? Book and Jayne, who'd think a preacher and a merc would get along so well. But then Book ain't no preacher is he.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Buffy not so much, Angel ditto (though I would watch it if only it wasn't on after midnight).

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Better by a huge margin. the characters are tougher and deal with a more believable world. Demons and Vampires just got old fast. Like aliens.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? At this point I will take whatever I can get, but another (this time long-running) series would make me much happier.

Male or female?
I'm a woman. I'm a person. Lab rats are male or female.

Single or taken?
I never married.

Location?
The snorgling state of Missouri.

When did you start watching Firefly?
The first day it lifted off.

Who are two of your favorite characters?
I find all the characters well written, and well portrayed, but the one character I find more intriguing than the rest is Shepard Book. Why? Because he's somewhat of a mystery. I'm not saying I'm a mystery, but he reminds me of myself. I am an ordained minister who was also an MP (Military Police) in the US Army. I am an expert marksman, and expert grenadier, and know how to make all sorts of explosives.

What are two of your favorite episodes?
Although there is not a single episode which is lacking, at the top of my list is Out of Gas. This is excellent storytelling. Number two would be a toss up betwix Jaynestown and The Message.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?
That would have to be Simon and River. This is love. This is family.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
Watched them both.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
Yes. It is as good, or better. Actually I'm not sure which aspects you wish to compare, (concept, production, acting, writing, directing, etc.). Personally I find the entire concept (a western combined with a space opera) very appealing.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Why stop at three? How many Star Trek movies are there? I would also like to see it return to the small screen, unfortunately the snorgling execs at Fox will likely never allow that. So I say, produce the series and release it directly to the home viewers via tape or disc. I would gladly journey into town once a month and purchase the newest episode.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Angel/Buffy)? Cause I never really watched Buffy or Angel, I find Firefly better.

it's a tie between Mal and Serenity, and jayne and his brain (there almost seems to be a homer simpson-esqe separation between the two)

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?
only in a rabidly obessive,quote them randomly kinda way.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?
better.
it's very rare to make television of this quality in the first 13 eps.
(PHOX does have a tendancy to find these kind of shows.[ FF, Greg the Bunny, etc.] they find them make them and after the first couple eps air they start hitting them with the largest sticks they can find.)

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? can't we have both?

I was in Best Buy and had Forever Knight, Part I in my hands and was trying to decide if I would buy it despite the outrageous price that they were charging for it. Then, I decided to try Firefly because it was $60 cheaper than Forever Knight. Boy, was it the right decision!

Who are two of your favorite characters? Simon and Gabriel. There is a lot to flesh out there. I would like to know what Gabriel did after Simon left. Did he really abandon his children? Sometimes, parents say things when they are upset and don't follow through on them.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? That's a hard question. I think that Buffy is better than Angel but I can't decide if Buffy is better than Firefly.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I would prefer a movie and a few more seasons because you get more hours of Firefly out of a season than in three 90 minute movies and I want to explore this story in more depth than three movies would allow.

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise? River and everyone on the ship. Everyone has a unique look at River, and you never know how River will react to anything. By far the most interesting, because you'll never know what'll happen next

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Both, since the first year of Buffy

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Now the problem I have here is that Joss is a master story teller who just excels as things move along. Angel is the best work in character development of all of them. But Firefly didn't get its fair go in length. Until we get more, Firefly will be great, but not quite there yet. There's just too much left to tell.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? Why not both? But if I had to choose... I want a series to follow up the BDM, it gives so much more room and time to explore these characters.

I will be at the first movie the day it opens. I will also give my support to any further projects. However, I dont think anyone will sound off on anyone creating shows for the sake of just creating shows. Give me the backing of the cast, crew, and its creator...and I will sound off on the creation of a firefly channel.

In fairness to the Mighty Whedon, I've been attempting to catch some eps lately...I think I need to go back to the beginning on DVD and watch them to have any clue as to what's going on and why...I seem to catch them late in the series, and I'm a bit lost.

Location?: Upstate New York

When did you start watching Firefly?:
May 2004. I watched the "Train Job" when it aired on fox, but after that I was unable to catch any of the other episodes. So in may, when I was stuck on compus by myself after finals week, I bought the DVDs so I could see what I missed. I was instantly attached.

Who are two of your favorite characters?:
I have to pick? Kaylee and River

What are two of your favorite episodes?:
Objects in Space and Jaynestown

What's your favorite relationship in the series, romantic or otherwise?:
Simon and Kaylee. Seeing the two of them try to make a go of it, it makes me want to cry.

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well?: Yessir

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)?:
It's different. It's better than Angel, I think, because a lot of the time, I think, Angel was lacking something . . . Buffy was an amazing show, too. Firefly is just . . . different. Just as good, in no way inferior to Buffy. I love them both.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV?
Rar! I would prefer a movie and then a few seasons of the show. You can do so much more in a tv series format, focussing on different people each week, instead of highlighting one or two people and letting others fall to the wayside in a movie. (Kaylee and Simon had better kiss in this movie!!!)

Do you watch Angel or Buffy as well? Yes, indeed.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? I think it's better, though I think the fact that Buffy and Angel were on the air for so much longer (thereby having more chances to make mistakes) contributes somewhat to that.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? I would definitely prefer one movie and more seasons of the show, though I doubt that will happen.

Do you think Firefly is as good or better than Joss's previous works (Buffy and Angel)? Initially Firefly is better, but if it had a longer run, who knows.

Would you prefer a trilogy of Firefly movies or one movie and a few more seasons of the show on TV? The one movie, and go back to a series. More can be told in a series than a movie. Plus you don't have to wait as long to see a new episode.
