> [@bouv](#): > > I’m a huge Buffy fan, and becomming a big fan of Angel (thank God for reruns on TNT right when I get back from work! I got most of season 2, and apparantly missed the worst season (though I might go back and watch it anyways.)) I’m assuming I would like Firefly? Don’t count on liking the others to liking this one. I mean, you might, but there’s equal odds you won’t. I loved Buffy from the pilot on, and Angel really grew on me after I gave it a second shot during the 4th season (I watched all the eps I missed on TNT to catch up too). On the other hand, had they canceled Firefly after airing the first three episodes, I wouldn’t have cared. My best friend really liked the show so I kept watching it, and I didn’t think it really became watchable until right before they cancelled it. I think I was one of the few people in the old FF threads who wasn’t surprised that it was cancelled. If they ever make the movie, I’ll probably end up seeing it, but as of yet I haven’t been compelled to see the unaired eps. ---

Although they played Serenity last week, before anyone bumped the thread, so if you tune in starting today, the first episode you’ll see is… Wait for it… **The Train Job** :smack: –Cliffy ---

I saw it the first time around, so I can do OK missing Serenity. Actually that was probably the last episode I saw, so that works out nicely! Also, it’s on at 7PM, which surprised me. ---

I have a couple of comments… You could also just pick up the appropriate thread of the [Firefly Film Festival](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=328309) that’s just winding down and add comments…? I’ve linked to this week’s installment. The OP contains links to all the previous installments. Last one starts tomorrow ☹ Don’t imagine anyone would mind additional comments as the episodes run on SciFi. GT ---

Yep, just post in the existing Firefly film festival threads. We don’t mind bumping them- it keeps specific episode discussions nicely organized. 🙂 Plus, the spoiler policy we’ve been following keeps all spoilers for shows subsequent to the one named in the thread title boxed, so you can peruse, say, the “Serenity (Parts 1 and 2)” thread at your leisure without worrying about being spoiled for “The Train Job.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-the-hell-order-do-these-episodes-go-in-a-firefly-question/306664.md?page=1)
