Today being the 23rd anniversary of the premiere of Firefly, I am both, doing a rewatch of the series as it aired should have aired, and started a new community for discussion of the show and related spin-off media.

Put on your browncoat and join us.
I could never get into it. But everyone I know that’s into it is cool. And Nathan is cool. I’m not sure why it didn’t click with me.
When it aired initially I missed a few episodes, I worked an hour away from home and we closed on Friday night the same time it aired. I first saw the 3rd or 4th episode felt kind of lost. Several years later I caught it on sci-fi or something and really got into it.
Series didn’t click, but I liked Serenity.
Kind of the opposite for me. I wanted more of the series. Serenity felt a bit forced, like they were trying to cram too much into a movie.
Oh yeah, I forgot! I totally agree! The movie was good.
Yeah I like Nathan Fillion and I thought Firefly was pretty good, but I didn’t get the internet hype lol. I didn’t connect as much with the characters and space setting. It’s like Buffy but for boys?? I mean I enjoyed the Whedon writing but was missing all the hotties, the whole high-school-is-hell (being a young adult is hell too!), the supernatural universe, the 90s/Y2K fashion. And of course the lovely Sarah Michelle Gellar😆
