So then, have you watched Firefly?

So, last week while she was down, we had one of those "what DVDs to watch" discussions on our one (semi-planned) evening in. It turned out that snapesbabe hadn't seen Firefly. At all. Now it appears that tinuvielberen hasn't seen it either (but has now seen the light). This bothered me, y'see, when I first got an LJ, it seemed everyone was a fan, there were Firefly icons everywhere, being a fan seemed like something akin to a cultural norm. Now, of course, I know that's not true, but it sure seemed that way, and for two self-confessed SF fans to have not seen it? Weird. So, poll time:
[Poll #1030452]
Because, y'know, Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, does a proper Sci-Fi series, and Murdoch's Fox network messes him around, but the DVD sales are so good that Universal spring for a mid-budget film anyway? Plus, it's funny. Oh, and one of the opening lines is We're not going to die, y'know why? Because we're so very pretty... Which, y'know, is mostly true. So, via Amazon (UK, don't have the US search installed) the series is £15, the film is only £5.

Oh, and after a bit of pestering, here be a link to my Wish List, which I've started updating again; I used to use it as a handy "to buy" list, but then, y'know, finances collapsed. I guess it makes sense to post it, I'll be 33 in less than five weeks. Ouch.

You didn't have an option for 'my housemate tried to show it to me but unfortunately started with Heart of Gold so I hated it* and then my boyfriend put the whole series, pirated, onto my computer and made me watch it from the beginning and then I loved it'. And, rereading that sentence, I can see why. But you get the idea.

I saw Serenity before the TV series, thought it was OK, but haven't seen it since. I will have to lay my hands on the DVD...

Oh yes, and I love Kaylee.

*erm, see above. Sorry.

I prehaps was missing an "I watched it once and didn't like it, but then gave it another go later" option, because I know a few people that converted back again.

I'm wondering if Serenity may have been the better intro, ah well.
