they only use teh chinese in the show when it doesnt need to be translated and could be understood from context, so having subtitles for them would be unneccessary.

Maybe unnecessary, but appreciated (at least IMO).

But they're shiny mistakes. C'mon, who doesn't love "You're a rabbit, Mal"?

The fold-outs drive me crazy! I can't open a single Buffy DVD set without at least one disc falling out and it's so awkward to handle. The four seperate slipcases are great. Plus, it facilitated my lending Firefly to friends to indoctrinate them. No way was I letting go of the whole thing at once.

Hey, they're gorgeous, wouldn't give them up for the world, I'm just saying.

Don't you find them difficult to open without putting it on a table or something? And wouldn't you rather not even bother lending them to people?

Hmm, I wonder if this design was chosed with how easy it is to lend discs specifically in mind. It wouldn't surprise me, they probably knew this show was very word-of-mouth.

I also prefer the slimline cases that Firefly came in, and I believe that more tv sets in the future will use them. Joan of Arcadia's six discs are in only three cases, and Wonderfalls' three discs are in two. Enables me to get more sets on my shelves too.

As for a re-release of the Firefly dvds, I would buy it if there were more commentaries and extras, but I would not expect the Mal and Book intros to be included. I'd be willing to bet that they were not Joss' idea in the first place and he is the one who nixed them for the dvds. I equate them to the Harrison Ford narration of Blade Runner, only there because the studio suits didn't think the viewer could figure out what was going on unless told everything.

Personally, I enjoy outtakes AND deleted scenes. Commentaries are sometimes interesting, sometimes boring. Behind-the-Scenes can be fun. Actor's diaries - if available can be a hoot.

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.

Yes! I was very dissapointed that these intros were not included. One reason that I am holding onto my VHSs.

call me a heathen, but i prefer the harrison ford voice over in blade runner. not because i can't follow the movie without it, i just think it helps with pacing. it doesn't feel as long with them.
