Just buy it and keep the receipt.

If you get it as a christmas gift, use that one for the return.

UPS brought Buffy 5 and Firefly today.

I bought Firefly based on 10 minutes of viewing and the ravings of fans – you guys, probably. 🙂

Does anyone know if the shows are in order? The first ep on the disk is Serenity, aired 12/20/02, and the next eps have air dates of 9/20, 9/27, then it jumps to 11/1, 11/8, back to 10/4, 10/18.

I had heard that the eps weren’t aired in order, and I’m hoping that the disks are in order. I confuse easily.

The shows are in their originally intended order on the discs. Looking at the dates, I’m pissed at Fox all over again about what they did to the show.

And there’s an obligatory advertising insert in the box, with the slogan, “Fox knows TV on DVD” or something. Fine, they know how to put a TV show on DVD. _But they don’t know when they actually have a fucking good show on their fucking network._

“The complete series on DVD.” It is to weep.
