Definitely - It's worth spending the money if you can. I won't bore everyone with my long treatise on how the Fox network did their best to kill Firefly, but it was pretty bad. The DVD sales have made the movie very likely, and will probably weigh favorably when another network is considering picking the show up again. To their credit, Fox hasn't opposed the sale of the series to another network. Kinda off-topic, but hey, I didn't bring it up ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended: you | |have but slumbered here while these visions did appear.
