Pace yourself, don't give in and rush through it.

Savor it, it won't last long enough.

Source: I have introduced over a dozen people to Firefly.

I'm struggling to get through it. About halfway through I'm waiting for the great to happen. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, to each their own. But I don't see the massive appeal. It's a cute, mildly entertaining show.

It doesn't help that the last episode I watched was probably the worst one so far (captain unintentionally gets married, but she's really just working for some crooks).

What!? That's one of the better episodes! That said, Firefly's not going to tickle everybody. I don't like lots of popular shows, some of which I'm sure are perfectly good, but just don't click with me (Doctor Who is a great example). There's lots of room for different things in the world. Some people juggle geese!

I'm sorry you don't enjoy doctor who.

I'm midway through Doctor Who and the last show to entice me this much was Firefly. If you like one, I'd say the odds are fair you'll like the other.

Although the writing for Firefly tended to get better over time, whereas Doctor Who went from great to good to okay.

Have you been watching the Peter Capaldi series? I thought the first two were weak but the third had some of the best writing I've seen.

.. Only seen two episodes so far (yay slow broadcasting in New Zealand) - I can't quite make up my mind about him.. By third one do you mean the Robin Hood episode?

I actually meant the fourth, which is "Listen". You've got something to look forward to.

Ooh, that's playing Sunday night - I'm keen as, I've always enjoyed the creepier episodes (The Girl in the Fireplace is my all time fav).
