Fireflyyyyyyyyyy

Introduced the girls (the older ones) to this gem tonight as we watched the first episode.

They rather loved it.

Impish Girl especially liked Kaylee (not surprisingly, she's very Kaylee-like herself) and Inara and Zoe ('the girls are nice. The boys are just grumpy!') and also Jayne - she didn't care whether he was good or bad (although she's since been begging me to tell her if he goes on to betray Mal), she just thought he was awesome.

Miss M's favourite character is Book.

Darcy reckons it's the best thing Joss has ever done ('Properly original'), so I didn't even get any grief from him!

*sigh*

Firefly is a show that I just love. I can offer no meta, no fic. I just love it and can't add anything to it. Am looking forward to the girls realising just how much like River Song little River Tam is. :)

Isn't it just great, though? Shiny, as Kaylee would no doubt say. And they're dead right about Jayne, too, your friends there. :D I have watched and rewatched my Firefly DVDs (and the movie "Serenity" too) to a quite worrying extent, and all I can say is that I feel betrayed - betrayed! - that Mr Whedon didn't parlay the unbeatable degree of leverage he had accrued by making The Avengers - literally the most profitable film in the whole of frickin' human history - into a greenlight for making a new series of Firefly. What's all this "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." @#&!, Whedon? MOAR FIREFLY, NAO! ;D

Ahem.

Firefly!!!

(I'd be careful with the Reavers episode, though...I had nightmares for months after I saw for the first time at the age of 30.)

Funny enough- I just rewatched the pilot of Firefly today. xD I'm pretty sure it ranks as one of my top favorite pilots.

just how much like River Song little River Tam is.

...oooh- I would like to hear your thoughts on this one because the only couple of comparisons that I can think of are: 1) They've both gotten their heads massively screwed with at some point, they're both very strong willed, incredibly smart, and can basically kick lots of ass. xD

So much Firefly love! I have to say Book is probably my favorite too; but it's a very close race.

Good to see the Firefly love pass on down to the next generation!

Firefly and Serenity are two of the best Scifi properties to have been on TV in a long time.

It's far too bad that there is so little of it. But what there is is priceless.

If anyone here likes Firefly and Doctor Who, and would like some more of both, I heartily suggest they read the fan novel, "The Man With No Name (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3486089/1/The-Man-With-No-Name),"

It's the 10th Doctor meets Firefly, in Firefly's universe, the Tardis on their ship and they're off on an adventure together. It's professional quality fiction and is completely faithful to both universes. (I didn't write it, but I've read it five times now, it's that good, it's over 100,000 words long, but it doesn't feel like it. It's great.)

YES!!! I know when I intro my boys to it, they will love it! So glad you got your family to know Browncoat love!

I am rather proud...today, Red Dwarf was requested. Parenting - I must be Doing It Right.

Oh, man. You've whetted my appetite to go and rewatch now.

I agree that Jayne is fab! Definitely my favourite.
