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.
And personally delivered to you by Morena in your choice of Inara costume, no doubt... (there's never a rolls-eyes smiley around when you need one...)
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

I'd totally spring for a special edition enhanced box set. Nothing elaborate, just some fun tweaks. Commentaries on EVERY episode, a remastered 5.1 soundtrack, whatever visual HD enhancements they can get away with (they are limited to the original print, can only do so much), an isolated audio track of the music, and a few more extended candid documentaries... I was always disapointed with the tour of the ship. It does require an intact ship, but they could use the movie set, it'd cost quite a lot though, not likely to happen unless they did one for the movie dvd... Also, a nice leather-bound case would give me happy feelings in my nethers... wow that wound up dirtier than I expected...

Firefly was filmed, not videotaped. [In the commentary for Out of Gas, the director talks about colour reversal film, & in the Making Of Firefly, just after Morena talks about getting hired (9&3/4 minutes in), you can see her beeing shot with a Panavision 35mm cinema camera.] They can easily get 2K lines from 16mm film, so there shouldn't be any problem getting 1080 lines from 35mm film. The key would be, did they edit the film & produce a film master before converting to videotape, or did they convert to videotape before editing, which would mean that any HD version would have be generated with a mathematical conversion factor.

Hey, don't be hatin' on George.
You need to think about something: George doesn't need to "grub" money.
He's got more money than his kids will know what to do with.
Me? I'm not mad at George for making money.
He works=He makes money.
No one has been forced to spend money on George's stuff.
You think Joss is writing Firefly to not make some money? You think he wrote and directed Serenity FOR FREE?
This is his job. He's SUPPOSED to make money.
Just like George Lucas.
You think Joss and Universal don't hope that Serenity doesn't become the next Big Franchise?
Sorry, I'm just really sick of the bitchy hatin' of George Lucas 'cause he makes some coin.

I just want to say "stuffing in their turkey of life" is an amazingly great phrase.

We don't hate Lucas for making money. We hate him because he refuses to respect the creative work of another artist vastly superior to himself: i.e. George Lucas from twenty years ago.
He could make all the alterations he wants, he could replace every single character with Jar Jar's extended family, just as long as he releases the original versions in a nice, crisp, Hi Def format.
As is now painfully obvious, he no longer has any grasp of what is good and not good. Sometimes he hits the mark, sometimes the average three year old would be better at his job. But all we really want is the original films as they were originally presented.

And since there are more than 6 episodes, yes MORE COMMENTARIES.

That other things are crap doesn't mean everyting should be.
On every single 22 episode season of Stargate there is commentary.

Not before, it would only add confusion.

I won't hold my breath 'til the manufacturers agree on a standard for HD-DVD but, based on the high incidence of reorders of Firefly, I think it's a good candidate for an HD transfer. Perhaps more likely if Universal buys full rights from 20th Century Fox; after all, we & the distributor would want more special features on a new edition, probably requiring further participation from Joss & our BDHs. I'm hopeful.
