I'd like an extended version too.
Let's hope Joss reads this post and sees the opportunity!

I don't really mind if there's a director's cut or not, b/c I'm more into the fact that there should be a cast/crew commentary. The WHOLE main cast (actor who played Mr. Universe is invited b/c I like him), not just one of them.
*sighs and looks off in a dreamy state* That would be just grand...

I'm more than a little confused about why DVDs don't have more commentaries. I mean if adding an audio track is as simple as it seems, and since audio commentaries are done in one go, if there is space on the disk why not just sit everyone down and get their comments.
Hell why not have one for each of the main characters' actors solo, and one where everyone does it together (totally failing to make any kind of point because there are too many people for one audio track, but you get to smile at them all interacting as themselves instead of characters)?
It takes ages to make a movie, it takes two hours plus or minus a bit to make a commentary, why not make more?

.Chrisisall, a whiner on this issue

I'm not expert or anything, but I'd suspect it's due to the length of time between when the actors finish filming and when the DVD is getting authored - this can be a significant length of time and the various actors will be working on their next projects and won't necessarily be able to get together at the same time to record the commentary, even though it's probably only a days work for them. And I think with an ensemble cast like Serenity, you'd need to have as many of the actors there as possible.
Having said that, I'd love it if there was a cast commentary released!
Not so sure about a 'directors cut' - I watched the deleted scenes last night and although I enjoyed them as a Firefly fan, I didn't feel they needed to be in the movie.
Hell is other people's music

Some more possible names:
Serenity 1.5
The Firefly-class Edition (complete with Serenity shaped case (wouldn't THAT be kickass!?))
The Misbehavin' Edition
The "Can't Stop the Signal" Edition
The Reaver Deluxe Edition
Egh, brain stopped working. What else?

Sign me up for the extended version. And while we're at it can we get someone to redo the soundtrack with Greg Edmonson score from the series. It'd take some work, but Newmans junk just blows. Ok... to be fair there are couple of good pieces, but most of it sounds like he wasn't even trying.
