My Firefly dvds work perfectly, but I got a Jackie Chan movie from Hong Kong, and both my computer AND my dvd player couldn't play it. Since the dvd was purchased in NYC Chinatown for only $10 and I live pretty far away, I decided to forget it.
Time came I wanted a new dvd player with componant connections for better picture, bought one, saw the Accidental Spy jus' sittin' on my shelf, gave it a try, know what? Worked perfectly!!!
This is just to say that not all dvd players are created equal is all.

Actually, it's my iMac that refuses to play Disc One, but it plays just fine on my friend's table-top player.
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one having a problem, though!
Oddly enough, I'd already downloaded the episodes contained on that disc from the Hello Cowgirl site, so it wasn't that much of a problem! (Well, besides the picture quality and lack of commentaries...)

BTW, this is my first post - Yet another "instant convert" after seeing the "Serenity" trailer!

Welcome!!!

I don't care if you happened to read about Firefly while rolling a bum for milk money and it was written on some newspapers he was covered in for warmth...

Actually, I would care about that...The homeless don't deserve that kind of ire.

The point is, you're here, and that is all that matters to us...to me, at any rate. Be it from viewing the trailer, or reading the trades prior to the airing of "The Train Job". You're a browncoat, and that's that!
