Shiny!

Ok, in that case I have but a single request. And I ask that you let it sink it, and let it sink in well; and then when you've done so, that you will relay the request with an equal, if not greater sense of urgency to the powers that be....

Please, make it Region Free!! There's many a 'coat here in Europe that was devestated to hear that the upcoming pre-order Bluray set of Firefly (as announced on Amazon) was going to be Region A only.

All good ideas...
Others could include:
(1) the original pilot (later redone at studio request to be "less dark"), perhaps with comments by Joss.
(2) I agree with including the two introductory narrations by Nathan and Ron respectively....but also include the beautiful episode end-flash of a stencil-image Serenity [I first saw this on the Universal HD running of the series--being repeated right now Saturdays at 8pm EST, btw--and loved it].

Respectfully,

never thought of this one before:
The Ads for the show!!
The teasers, trailers, ad spots not part of the shows.
i heard an early one was like a soundtrack for smashmouth walking on the sun.

If it is available, the mythical "Summer" scene where it is a one-shot, all cast hit all thier lines perfectly until the final line is from River, and Summer forgets it. For her career, everybody blames her for all flubbed lines.

Oh yes , absolutely...that is one of the things that piqued my interest for the show , and told me , " This is going to be something different !"

Also on the Wish List : An apology from the programming department at the network , for having killed our show in the first place...

Well, let's not gloss over this Region A stuff just yet. :) Because now I'm a mite confused. Are we talking about the same (upcoming) Bluray release at Amazon?

http://www.amazon.com/Firefly-Complete-Blu-ray-Nathan-Fillion/dp/B0018
QI5UM

Because that one is also by Fox (20th century). Or are you talking about Fox, the network, releasing a new Bluray? If the former, then it seems things are not finalized yet, so maybe this "Region A Only" thingy is not as cast in stone as Amazon would have us believe -- or is that just wishful thinking on my part? :) If the latter, then I hope you'll convey the wish for a Region Free (All Regions) disc for the one you're making.

Thanks

it would be wonderful to hear from gu4est stars from the episodes. Many people go on about Christina hendricks, mark Sheppard, Michael Fairman.
Maybe commentary tracks wouldn't work, maybe they would. At least mini-interviews would be cool.
Gregg Henry is a wonderful actor who mostly plays bad characters. yet he played the good guy/antagonist in Train Job, which became the aired Pilot, wonderfully launching our BDH. Be cool to hear his thoughts on FF.
Same with the Tam parents, amny fans wonder about them.
Many other actors on Firefly have had many other parts on other shows - be interesting to hear from them, with so much hindsight now.

How about commentary from the casting agents who casted all these wonderful guest actors?

Some of would like to know the actual original dates of script, dates of filming for each episode, stuff like that.

How about the original version of the Pilot Serenity, with all the edit out, alternate, or extra scenes?

It would be wonderful to have an introductory narrative from each BDH. With 14 eps, plenty opportunity for each star to have an ep to intro. Much like Adam did for the scifi special before Serenity.

I don't suppose a clip of Sandy Grushaw apologizing for torpedoing our favorite show w
ould be likely....

Ani,

Please don't take this the wrong way but,...who are you? why are you posting for F*x? I was wondering how you found us, and why you posted here and not on the OB(origional board). I was wondering why after all this time, F*x wants our opinion and/or ideas.
Thanks

I'm the AP Coordinator for Sparkhill, a small production company that produces documentaries and the Special Feature portion for DVDs. Fox Home Entertainment hired us to do a panel interview (originally 2 years ago, before I was even working here). In those 2 years, we have been unsuccessful in getting the majority of actors together due to conflicting schedules. In fact, even getting a commentary with just Josh and Nathan is becoming difficult.

I was asked by Fox's Home Entertainment Division to go on a fan site and see what the fans would like to see in the re-release. I think the reason they asked is two-fold: 1) Since getting these interviews might not happen, they need other options and; 2) Who better to ask than those individuals that would be prone to buy the re-release.
