Why would it need to be re-released? It isn't out of print. You can buy it right now. In fact, I'm thinking of ordering another couple of copies. There are so many copies available that Amazon has it on sale through the end of March ( http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=9201).

I think there are two. . .

I liked the commentary between Joss and Nathan for "Serenity" . . .and I thought Nathan and Alan were HI-larious during their commentary of "War Stories".

I did exactly that - bought a second copy as my first was being leant out a lot and I was getting serious withdrawal symptoms!! Plus DVDs aren't as durable as we all think and mine was starting to get stuck a lot!

In the UK the packaging is plastic – but take it from one who knows, if you’re engaged in a war with your local postal service (lets just say they didn’t like that I bought all my Christmas presents on the internet – which they then had to deliver!) and they decide to eject your parcel from their van several streets away and them run over it – not even a plastic case can help you! Hwoon dahn postal employees!!

Dunno how it works with HMRM (heck, I dunno how it works now, back @the aulde 'omestead) but, when I was a tad (Sherman, set the WayBack machine for, well, way back), Canada Post used to hire high school-kids as temporary workers before Christmas, whose main job was to have a cart @the bottom of each chute from the customer level, one storey above. There was a code word to indicate when a package marked "Fragile" was on its way down. This was a signal to move the cart away from the bottom of the chute, and listen.

Must say, as a Britisher, I had some problems deciphering some of that . . “Tad?” (-pole?) a.k.a youngster, embryo, black, slimy pond-dweller??

But I take you to mean Canadian postal employees are no more mindful of a parcel's inherent (and often sentimental) value than are their English counterparts. What I find strange is that our postmen object to delivering “too much” post, which I figure gotta be their raison d’etre, their reason for living, the stuffing in their turkey of life . . . but no, they hate me for having “ a lot of post”!! Weird, I’d say . . .

This news is, however, another nail in the coffin of my hopes to emigrate to Canada when our fascist government does soemthing I really abhor (identity cards and locking people up without trial) – gotta be Canada or New Zealand and they do way too many extreme sports and spend way too much time with sheep in NZ!!

Planet's coming up a mite fast.

Could you give us a for instance? With so few actual episodes I'm not sure there was all that much else to give us in terms of "extras."

When the show originally aired on FOX there was a little intro where either Mal or Book spoke of what the show is about. They spoke of the year in which the story takes place, the civil war, and about the two sides of the war. They also introduced the characters and then the ship. Then Book would end the commentary with "A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying". And Mal would end his commentary with "You got a job, we can do it, don't much care what it is". I was expecting both introductions to be on the DVD box set.

I keep getting the following message trying to buy tickets from Fandango for Atlanta:
"Unable to process ticket request."

Other theatres are explicitly listed as sold out. Anyone know what the error message means? Anyone know if there are tickets left in Atlanta?

Thanks!

I'd buy it again with expanded commentary. I was saying exactly that to my husband last night.

I would love to have full commentary, even alternate commentary on eps already commented on.

Hell, they could talk about the show all day in every combination imaginable and I'd listen to it.

Does anyone else watch the commentaries with the subtitles on?
