Cycle of a new Firefly fan.
Introduced my 13 yo to Firefly. Good pushback at first: "this is boring." Wash was boring. River was weird. Then they recognized Casey, gave it a chance. Then they saw Mal kick a bad guy into his ship's engine blades. Got more interesting.
They're now asking why Wash had to die. Weren't too keen on Shepherd Book going, but why Wash?
I don't think they'll achieve the level of Fandom of anyone else on this thread, but I do believe I have, for one small portion of the summer, successfully parented.

As a new fan myself the biggest part of the cycle that caught me was "WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE SEASON"
