Which to watch first - Firefly or Serenity?

I told my wife about this thread and she said those of you who say it doesn't matter are crazy--you should watch the series first. And she knows everything. Just ask her.

True real fans will watch the series and the movie over and over but there is an initial emotional reaction many (if not most) fans have to the events that occur in their first viewing of the movie based on the feelings they develop toward the characters from watching the series. When someone watches the movie first this emotional reaction is lost.

You are correct; initially one should see the series first.
