Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
Fox Music is selling a "Firefly original television soundtrack" online: [link]
Looks like it's the real thing, but the early comments I'm seeing on fireflyfans.net and browncoats.serenitymovie.com are not very positive.
Still trying to decide if I want to spend the $10....
Apparently it's incredibly buggy and only works with IE, when it works at all.
Huh. Purchase and download was trouble-free for me using IE 5.5
The zipped file is about 38Mb, and contains 17 .wma tracks. Total runtime is 39:29.
I was very happy to find that one of the tracks is the closing music from "The Message," without the annoying voice-over. But there are three pieces I was hoping for that aren't there: the dance music from "Shindig," the dance music from "Safe," and "The Hero of Canton." That aside, I think it was worth the $10 and the download time, even on dial-up.
Now I just have to remember which program I use to convert .wma to .mp3 so I can transfer the tracks to my Clié.

Wow.
I mean...people still do the Josh Whedon thing?
Official-type people?
The Serenity ad during Bones last night even had one of the "thumbs up for more" tags on TiVo where it would take you to the trailer. I was very happy to see that little extra bit of promotion.
It's also been popping up on the menu in the regular pomotional-stuff rotation.
Serenity spot during Lost. Yay. I think it was a 30 second one. I was in the kitchen, so I only heard it.
Yep! It was the same one I saw during Prison Break, I think.
Cool! I missed it, but they just ran another during Invasion.
