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

Say it again, here http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=7202 If that thread gets enough action, mayhap someone will notice.

Does anyone else watch the commentaries with the subtitles on?

Yup, though reading Tracy say "You're a rabbit, Mal" is not exactly helpful.

Yeah, well, if nothing else I'd like somebody to tell me what was in that damn syringe. And why not some specially recorded panel discussions of the type that occur at cons? Not just the BDHs, but the technical people.

My pet peeve, by the way, is multi-disk sets that don't put the name of the episodes on the disk--watching a Buffy or Angel CD involves a grovel on the floor to find where the dumb little pamphlet dropped to.

I was just impressed that we got to see some contribution from ALL of the actors. Being a long time Buffy fan, and an owner of the DVD's... I was surprised at this.

Said as if I give a damn. If the cast and crew don’t mind there should be more. One for each episode at least. If they do mind then obviously it’s up to them, but you can’t just say, “Well this set is worse therefore one that is better than it must be good enough.”

If they don’t mind taking the time, and only they can say if they do, all that they need to do is watch an episode and be recorded doing it, they say their thoughts which most of us are interested in, then sell them to us because no one works for free.

The key question is whether or not they have a problem with doing it.

Also, for the record, a lot of single DVDs have more in the way of extras than the Firefly set. Don’t ask which ones, I’d have to look through not just my collection, which probably doesn’t include them, and my dad’s, which is in another house entirely. A lot is by no means most.

Even in the way of commentary I’ve seen movies not much more than two hours that had more hours of commentary. Now if they have that much to say about a mere two hours think how much there must be to say about Firefly, which ran a little bit longer.

I would love a new boxed set IF the redid the commentaries. Nothing wrong with the ones on there, but let em mix around the actors and prop and costume people so each now comments on an episode they did not comment on before. Plus extended bloopers would be nice.

The Journey is the worthier part.

The most obvious improvement they could make down the line is to remaster them all into high definition and release the box set on BluRay or HD-DVD.

Chris Buchanan said that Fox were looking into how they could best earn money from the show (here's a hint chaps, release the original pilot Serenity as a single disc tempter in the shops after the movie comes out).

I don't like those fold-out cases that were used for Buffy, X-Files, everything else. If you want disc 6 you have to spread the case out over your whole couch or floor or whatever. I love the individual plastic cases, with one disc per case, giving lots of case / disc art too. Fox done good in that regard.

Re: the extras. I never knew about those Mal / Book intros because I never saw the series on air. Those sound really cool and I sure would like to see them.

Releasing the pilot as a single-disc. This is becoming increasingly popular. I wouldn't be surprised. And I'd probably buy it too.

As for extras, one of crucial importance:

That way new Browncoats won't have to search far and wide for a clue about what's being said.

I'm just sayin', that's all.

MAL: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

Nice call. There's a lot of mistakes in the subtitles too.

If they do that, make it a separately selectable subtitle track, below the image frame, so it doesn't spoil things for fans who prefer to watch the scene for a clue to what's being said.
