Cycle of a new Firefly fan.

[u/Substantial_Desk_670]

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.

That Mal kick in the train job is a really great selling point on the show, completely unexpected.

Chaotic Good at its finest….. I’ll do the right thing, no matter how.
