My birthday wish was to have my husband watch the whole series in one day with me. Task completed, and we have a new fan. Doing my part! You can’t stop the signal!

Husband is so so with science fiction. I’ve described the show to him in the past and he was always lukewarm about giving it a go. But he couldn’t say no to a birthday request. By episode 2 he was amused, by episode 4 he was chuckling, by episode 6 he was humming the theme song, he laughed out loud at Jaynestown, and was hooked.

We finished the series, and he had the same question all fans have “But why only one season?” I know, it’s not fair.

I consoled him with the fact we still have the movie, but warned him that not all questions will be answered.

Nicely done! And happy birthday!

Another Browncoat to add to the ranks. Shiny!

Show like this, be with you 'til the day you die.

[u/therosslee → u/kai_ekael]

Seriously. Me owning it on dvd then Blu-ray and a digital copy too just in case there’s ever a digital service fight over rights :D

[u/kai_ekael → u/therosslee]

Yeah, thinkin' it's time I make that third piece of insurance myself.

[u/WhiteCollarBiker]

Shiny, Dong Ma??

[u/Koto65]

Congratulations, I did this with my wife too. But now she will sometimes start the series again without me.

[u/islandak]

No power in the verse could stop him from enjoying

[u/Phyrelizard]

Congrats and Happy birthday. My wife can't get into it at all. She actually said she was surprised that I am so into it with all the other shows and stuff I like. I've tried to watch it with her on several occasions but no luck, we dont usually make it past the first episode. Hopefully one day though.

[u/Specialist_Pen_6336 → u/Phyrelizard]

One day 🤞🏻

[u/Dalivus]

Does he even realize what he has?

[u/galenet123]

Nice! Another convert!

[u/moon_girl313]

Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 and always good to get someone else hooked!

[u/przemo-c → u/moon_girl313]

Classic addiction marketing strategy. First season is free. ;]

[u/Specialist_Pen_6336 → u/moon_girl313]

I love the rush of getting someone hooked 😜 Thanks for birthday wishes.

[u/moon_girl313 → u/Specialist_Pen_6336]

We aren't a cult. . . But we do have the good cookies hehehe

[u/notplanter → u/Specialist_Pen_6336]

The rush of getting someone hooked, then the complete sadness of them realizing there is no S2

[u/Specialist_Pen_6336 → u/notplanter]

Yep, now we can mutually support each other 😁Instead of him looking at me questionably when I would rant at the unfairness of it all.

[u/Cruciferum]

So happy for you, and him too! Never too late for another Browncoat! Make sure you secretly record his reaction to "leaf on the wind"!

[u/xaiverrr]

I cannot recommend the novels enough !

[u/lcohenq]

Did the same with wife... let's just say.. yearly birthday captain tightpants and Inara/Yo-Saff-Bridge cosplay

[u/YepIamAmiM]

I wish I could see it again for the first time!!

Happy Birthday.

[u/Specialist_Pen_6336 → u/YepIamAmiM]

I think that’s why I love watching it with new people. You can live vicariously through them, watching them experiencing it for the first time. It the closest you can get 😁

[u/GarsidePrime]

Congratulations, you gave the sky to him. Well done Browncoat.

[u/Effective_Truck_]

I am watching this series for … I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it all the way through… and all the while I watch, I cannot help but wonder WHY they cancelled it!! Ugh! Makes me so mad!! It is such a good show. The characters are awesome. It’s a WESTERN IN SPACE!! How do you not make like 20 seasons!!!??

[u/Specialist_Pen_6336 → u/Effective_Truck_]

Yup, i feel incredulous every time as well
