to think it really isn't possible to watch Serenity/Firefly too many times

Text convo with a friend this morning. Said I'd watched Serenity again last night party animal here. She said she couldn't believe I could watch that film so often.

But... but... It's Captain Tightpants.

Come on, it's not possible to overwatch this show, is it?

I have found my people... Grin

I finally convinced a reluctant DH to give Firefly a go (he watched Serenity first and he said the plot confused him) He was a huge Red Dwarf fan so I knew if he gave it a try he would enjoy it.

I was right.

Tragically my geek, sci-fi and fantasy loving DP has never entirely warmed to Firefly. I don't know why it may have something to do with my blatant perving. It's a serious bone of contention.

Luckily he does many evening and night shifts so I can just sit alone and enjoy myself.

Thanks for the link, am off to read now.

Noooooo
I'm only on episode 4!!!
Btw...wants the deal with mal and the companion woman?
Loving the pilot.
He is HOT
In a geeky way Blush

Wait till you get to War Stories, that'll fill you in a bit of their background.

Please tell me you're not fancying Wash over Mal, though?!

Just watched Firefly and Serenity a few months back at dh's insistence - he LOVES them! I enjoyed them, Nathan Fillion is indeed HOT! Struggled with the first episode though (the one with the battle at the beginning and then they aren't rescued) - later episodes where you get to know the characters are great.

If I was to get one of the comic books for dh, can anyone post a link to the first one - preferably on Amazon, as I have vouchers, but any site will do? Thanks.

I loved Castle, and now need to go back and watch the episode where he wears the coat!

Baddz · 09/03/2015 16:09

I do like the uniforms.
Very nice.
not enough leather though

nowitsenough · 09/03/2015 16:19

Enorm thank you! He'll be delighted.

Enormouse · 09/03/2015 16:28

You're welcome nowit.

For the PP who mentioned Comic Con, and anyone else interested, you know Nine Worlds geekfest has a whole Whedon track? nineworlds.co.uk/2014/track/whedon. The singalonga Dr Horrible / Once More With Feeling event was one of my best moments of 2014.

Enormouse · 09/03/2015 17:28

Just asked for this for my birthday Smile

He just doesn't do it for me....

Enormouse · 09/03/2015 17:51

What about a rear view

Mouse...I think we are totally bringing down the tone of the thread :)

Thurlow · 09/03/2015 18:06

I watched the film before the show. There's a scene where Mal is in bed wearing very little. I remember that was the exact moment I decided I liked the film very much indeed...

Not particularly feeling the love for Nathan Fillion - nice chap, by all accounts - but when it comes to the 'verse, Wuh duh ma huh tah duh fong kwong duh wai shung my coat is ruttin' brown.

(Fanfic recommendation: Brown Coat, Green Eyes on fanfiction.net - Harry Potter/Firefly crossover, and it's EXACTLY as deranged as it sounds)

Takver · 09/03/2015 21:38

Thanks for the recommendation, Kisses - I've read some great Buffy/HP crossovers, hadn't thought of looking for firefly ones!

Started watching Firefly again last night, inspired by this thread Wink
