Y'know, this whole thing reminds me of the time in '79 (I was 16), when my Dad (a set designer for TV) got invited to an advance screening of some new show called... Battlestar Galactica!.
A guy came out in front of the theater and announced that the show's debut was going to be 3 hours, so they were gonna be showing us the "theatrical version".
For the couple of minutes before the curtain came up, I half-expected we were gonna be seeing it done as a stage play!
Afterwards I remembered seeing the words BATTLESTAR GALACTICA on a drive-in marquee earlier that year, when I was on a caravan trip that had a couple of stops in Canada.

Wow - I was 17. Chris, I always figured you for a little younger.
Don't know why. Maybe it's your humor. (I mean that in a good way).
Oh, and about your Firefly DVDs. You might be screwed. But maybe not. I've loaned mine out quite a few times, and still have 'em. However, I loaned them out to one of the girls I used to work with, and she made copies for herself and backups for me, and then I lent out the backups, and THOSE got stolen when the kid's house got broken into.
But I've loaned out my original set... let me count... one, two, three, four, five, SIX times, and gotten them back every time. And converted a few Browncoats along the way, one or two of which lurk around here now and again. And the girl who burned my backup copies for me then borrowed my Buffy and Angel seasons, and she REALLY loved those. She has now bought all the seasons of Buffy, Firefly, and Angel, and she shares them around to spread the word. Her sister is now a confirmed Browncoat, too. :)
When you can't walk, you crawl. And when you can't crawl... well, you know the rest.
At this rate, if I loan my Firefly set out and don't get them back, they're very well traveled, and have more than paid me back over the years, spreading enjoyment and the word.

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means;
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Hmmm, I wonder if you could put a GPS tracker in a DVD box...

Funny, I always thought you were thirtysomething. Shows our virtual age, eh?

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???

Want me to kill them, er, explain nicely to return it......

Sounds like you're my age too. In '79 I was 19 too.
Too young to really be a boomer, yet old enough to remember all the cool cultural icons of the late 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's.
Oh, you have to have backup sets to lend out. I have, let me see, 2 full sets, one set that's missing a disc (#4)and a Blu-Ray set. I have 3 Serenity copies too. That way I don't have FF withdrawl. (Hey, it's on Hulu too!)
