Man, I was so excited. I almost wish I had never seen the shows before, so I could be seeing them for the first time, in the proper order.

I can't even.
I had never seen the pilot. In fact, I think the only ep I've seen all the way through is "Jaynestown". I was just about to get around to bittorrenting all the eps when the Space schedule was announced, so I figured I'd wait. I really wasn't all that impressed when I saw Jaynestown (I was like, these characters are all assholes, neat, but tough to take), but the pilot last night just blew my doors off. It was fabulous, the layering, the characterization right off the bat. And there wasn't enough action in there for FOX? FUCKOS. Did I mention it is an amazing setup for the series.
I'm on the bandwagon now. I'm just boggled that this series isn't going to be around. I mean, I realize why -- I'm a huge Joss fan, and with the initial schedule and the pre-empting for baseball all fall, I saw ONE ep (and maybe part of another? The Train Job maybe? Did that one air in NA?), but damn, someone else should have picked up that show. Just seeing the pilot hooked me -- maybe it should have been aired that way?

I was never as enamoured with the show as the rest of you guys but I'm sorry that I missed the two hour pilot. I guess I'll catch it the next time around.

As much of a mark as I am for Jaynestown, I'll readily admit it's not a good introduction to the series. It's a product of what's come before, as far as The Hero of Canton is concerned at least.
And Megan, NYAH! I watched it, then realized my roommate wanted to see it but was asleep, so I went out and bought tapes, waited 'til 3 or 4 AM and watched it again while I taped it. Oh, yeah.
Right. I'm off to find an income, before I starve to death waiting for EI to be processed.

The Train Job maybe? Did that one air in NA?
That was the first episode Fox aired.

Thanks for all the fish.
Woo! And did you tapers notice that it ended a full 15 minutes before the hour? Which means that the one hour eps will probably end 7 or so minutes early, which means I'll be able to fit all the episodes on two tapes!
It was so fucking lovely.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
And did you tapers notice that it ended a full 15 minutes before the hour?Yup! I've noticed before that Space shows very few ads - about 6 minutes per hour, I think. We taped again last night - even though we already have all the episodes on tape, some of them are second generation and look pretty bad.
The info session was totally fine. Thankks for the reassurances -- I would have been a mess today if not for you guys.

Thanks for all the fish.
Did they make you sing and dance?
Yeah, my Firefly tapes are moderately crappy in spots. And i'm not 100% sure why I'm taping when I will be buying the DVDs, but I am.
