Yes, there are three different ones. I chopped them from the broadcast episode files floating around the cortex, and have all three as mpg files on WinMX. You can download them whenever I'm logged on (they are 'Firefly - Book_intro.mpg', 'Firefly - Mal_intro.mpg' and 'Firefly - Mal_intro2.mpg', 6 to 8 megs each). Or e-mail me and we'll figure out a way to transfer them directly.

Thanks for the link. I also never saw Firefly on TV, hearing that was pure awesome.

Opening narration for the original version of Serenity:

The War to Unite the Planets was six years done, and the victorious Alliance was spreading its control further and futher thoughout the galaxy.

Those who had fought for independence and so bloodily lost had no choice but to live by Alliance law.

Some never would, and those few found themselves drifting -- flying to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, to the worlds less civilized, some barely settled, where the Alliance might not control their lives.

These were hard worlds, and work was where you found it. Those who got by lived by a simple creed: "Get a job, anywhere."

That site doesn't seem to work anymore. Anyone else know where I can find these? I thought they'd be on youtube but all I can find is that comically bad unaired intro with Joss narrating. I wish they would have included these in the box sets.

Sweet, there they are. I've never used Hulu before though, just heard a lot of hype about it. Man does it suck. It won't play for 10 seconds without stopping to buffer.

How fast is your internet connection? I never get any buffer pauses. Of course I'm on a cable modem...

Well this is quite the revelation.
I had no idea.
It's interesting, cos I was talking to a few recent 'converts' and we all agreed that some pre-amble (like in the movie) would have been invaluable.
I watched the movie first, so knew, and I explained the history to the others so they knew. Otherwise picking it up as you went along would have made things a might difficult.
So were these narrations done over the opening credits?
Or during a black empty screen before the pre-title sequence?
Where exactly did they occur?

**edit**

Is this it?
