OK, OK I get it ...

I've been listening to people I know mutter Firefly this, Serenity that for some time now, having (I must confess) no idea what y'all were talking about. Well, this weekend, I noticed the first disc of Firefly at the video store, and decided to see what the fuss was all about.

OK, I get it: the "wagon train to the stars" aspect was perhaps a mite overdone (I'm thinking especially of the 19th-century American frontier slang, the retro guns, the ... horses), but I liked the storytelling style, the dialogue, the visuals, the characters (I think--depends on what they do with them, beyond episode 3 ...). Also, I really love the "You can't take the sky from me" theme (yes, wailing fiddles and Waylon Jennings-style vocals and all).

So, it turns out that these discs are really, really hard to come by, at the moment. Anyone have a copy of disc two that I can borrow, before I shell out the money to see Serenity? :)

We have it! But they belong to the bf, who may not be so keen on sending them to Seattle. Let me know if you don't get a copy from someone near you and I'll ask him. Are the discs available on Netflix?

I think you'll like the movie much better than the show. I did.

Thanks very much for the offer, B! I think I may be able to finagle a copy from someone local ... we'll see.

Hey, I know that the series wasn't on very long: are there more than 2 discs?

I think there are total of 11 episodes and more than 2 discs.
