I'll third that opinion (that it started slow), though the only episode I didn't really like was the first one, "The Train Job."
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I love love loved it from the beginning, but it must be admitted that a lot of that was resting on Kaylee's face. Now I love love love it for lots of different reasons.
Kaylee's face among them.

I didn't love the first one, but by the second I was getting hooked.

Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?
I was wary of the Firefly, because I'm NSM into westerny things. Didn't love ep 1, was interested by 2, in love by 3. I just watched ep 8, and I can't believe how quickly I've become attached to the characters and their universe. I've even adapted my New Buffy dance to express my bouncy delight.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The first episode is the weakest (and I enjoyed it), but after that it began to rock hard.

Art Crawl!!!
I agree that the first episode was the weakest, but it was really hitting it's stride by the 3rd.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I , the first couple episodes, but I was pretty much just watching out of loyalty. Then, when "Out of Gas" hit, Tim had me believing, for a split second, that he may well just kill off the captain and or crew and start fresh, well, he had me. Because I believed wholeheartedly that if anyone was capable of it, Minear was. Now I'm hooked.

Oh good. I'mnot the only one who does this.

Victor, brother! I once described my Dance of New Buffy to Hec as a cross between football cheering, the twist, and the can-can. The Angel version has Stirring Pot dancing (I'm sorry, I don't know the real name, I learnt it off Ricki Lake) added to the mix. The Firefly dance contains much hip shimmying, elaborate hand movements, and dosey-doing. Wait, where are you all going? Come baaaack, dance with me! You know you wanna.

That would be the Cabbage Patch Dance I think. Can I get ruling by Jesse?
