I'd have thought more would've jumped at the chance for lunch with Joss. Could do wonders for your career. Although Alan and Ron might disagree...

As usual, I can't let go of the price. Compared to other TV releases, it's way out of whack (when you look at the price per disc). I've been worried that we're specifically being milked for our fandom, but I did find the Prison Break Blu-Ray is similarly overpriced, so it looks like it's a 20th Century Fox thing. (Again, Fox the studio a.k.a. 20th, not Fox the network. Warners productionThe Sarah Connor Chronicles is well priced.)
Not sure what that's about, the 20th Fox pricing thing. I would think the market will correct that eventually. In the meantime, I'm reluctantly not going to buy this, but Netflix it instead.

Yeah that's weird. I thought Jewel had already stated she did this thing, she just couldn't schedule doing new commentaries?

And the Casablanca cover makes it look like a pack of cigarettes.

I'll pick it up eventually when it's cheaper if Blu-Ray continues to do well (although the only TV-on-Blu-Ray that've sold really well are Lost and Weeds--probably due to the more than fair price for Weeds--and I bet The Sarah Connor Chronicles will do well too...apparently other TV-on-Blu-Ray isn't doing that great, so far).
The cover is way better than the original Firefly cover (although the ship and the piece of the planet are the same, just moved around). The cast is pretty, but way too many of them look awkward or less-than-their-best on the shot that was chosen for the Firefly cover (the individual slipcase covers, on the other hand, are nice--especially Zoe's and Book's).
This is exactly what I wanted on the cover--a standard iconic image of the ship (although apparently the wrong model--curious, what are the differences ?), and no peoples.

Ah, well. You can always listen to the fan commentaries for it. ;)

Joss singing is, indeed, on the original set (Disc 4 if you must but fair warning, as a singer he makes a great writer ;).
And yep, you just can't trust them durn furreners we'll be YouTubing stuff left right and centre (as well as promoting the spread of Communism through the welfare state).
Saje | August 19, 22:49 CET
Edit to say, I mean commentary. Not singing. Saje got in between me and the post I was responding too.

I had no idea Joss sings the FF theme on the original DVD set. I'm scared to watch.

There's probably more than what's on the BDC site by now. I stopped maintaining it some time ago (and in fact at this point the back-end is non-existent and it's just an archive.)
