My brother-in-law likes the show, but does not own it. His girlfriend is an actress, and she's performing Saphron in a theatre company producing all the eps for small community production (Not sure if it's just for acting training or for public view yet), & she's never seen it. So to hopefully solidify another Browncoat, I lent it to them, and won't get it back until Christmas!!!
Was I insane???
I still have Serenity... but...
What if I suddenly NEED to see Arial or something???
Should I just buy a new set for myself & let them keep it?
Is FF on sale anywhere?
Why am I shaking???

Maybe because you haven't perma-mounted the 4 DVD ISO's on your computer? :)
Hmm, ask it back or allow a Browncoat-to-be to become one? I'd say, on account of a perfectly legitimate conflict of interest, just get a new set. Or just buy the BluRay box as well, like I did. That's what makes us special. :)

Theatre troupes perform the episodes? Like Shakespeare or something?
WHERE DO YOU LIVE??
Also, I know the feeling. I loaned out my firefly DVDs... Four months ago. I don't think I'm gettin' them back. But hey, I have an excuse now to buy the HD-DVD version.

You might want to reconsider the HD-DVD plan, since they never released the series on that now-dead format (though Serenity was).
You might want to get the Blu ray, though....

Bah! I'll buy the HD-DVD, and I'll go to the store RIDING ON MY UNICORN!

Quote:Yes, apparently. Firefly is very much like Shakespeare IMO.

Well, what are you doing with only one set of the DVDs in the first place?
I thought it was SOP to have an extra set for "conversion" purposes!

This is the correct procedure. The first time I lent out my DVDs I never got them back. I've actually had two successful returns of the DVDs. I'm impressed that these people were able to part with them.

There there Chris *pats your back consolingly*
As I have learned, always have a loner copy of both the series and the movie. Either rip them to your computer, buy a used set at a new/used store (F.Y.E. had a boxed set for $15 that I picked up as my loner set) or go to Target, as they usually have both the movie and the boxed set there and on sale. One set goes out to friends and family, and it doesn't matter if they get a little scratched up or are lent out for a long stretch, because you always have your set.
My god I wish a theatre troop down here in San Francisco would do episodes! The one right down the street from me is doing a stage adaptation of Barbarella on Halloween and I think they'd do a particularly loving portrayal of a few Firefly eps.
