Oh I wouldn't buy the season, just rent it. Firefly is one of only a handful of series dvds that I own.

I'll try to keep this spoiler free.

I just finished watching disc one and so far it has been money well spent. The first episode sucked me right in and I haven't found fault with any of the four episodes on the first disc. Very interesting stories which don't always follow the beaten path.

Whoever picked the actors to portray the two brothers has done an excellent job. There is some great dialogue between them that only exists between brothers. Add the fact that they are often in disagreement about what they are/should be doing creates some witty conversations.

There have also been some great guest stars in the first four episodes alone. Apart from the previously mentioned Amy Acker, there were two characters from the new BSG during the episode Wendigo. Don't know their names but one of them plays that crusty old doctor on BSG, the other guy is one of the cylon skin jobs. This next one is a blast from the past. On the episode with Amy the sheriff is played by the actor from Hardcastle & McCormick. Can I get an amen from the chorus for catching that one?

All in all I am really liking this show, once I'm done with season 1 I will need to catch up on the current season. I have a hard time figuring out why people wouldn't like this series. It has good actors, solid writing, serious moments, just enough humor, and as someone else posted each episode is like watching a mini horror movie. I almost forgot, as someone already said, that car kicks ass! One last thing is that this show has possibly the greatest soundtrack in TV history. I mean how many contemporary shows, set in present day, feature 70's rock instead of hip hop. Motorhead and AD/DC...oh hell yeah!!!

You know, I saw that show (I think) and didn't realize it was Amber. I really liked her as Tara. She has an amazing voice for anyone who saw (and heard her sing) in "Once More With Feeling."

I have liked some episodes of Supernatural better than others. That one I did like.
