Hm. I agree with both Tamara and Kevin. Interesting.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
A movie is such a different storytelling format and Joss had such a BIG story to tell that some things got short shrift. They may not have been on the screen, but all the little family-like things we saw on TV still happened in the movie (or the version that played in my head).
I realize that only makes sense to me.
I need coffee.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but if anyone has a High Def tv, Firefly is going to be on Universal HD, starting with the pilot. They'll be showing the entire series (from what I can tell).

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
They were playing that when I was home over Christmas, where my parents have all the necessary satellite/HDTV hardware (grad-student-me has bunny ears), and dayum I didn't think our crew could get any prettier, but they can!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
My local cable co. declines to carry UHD. I think I'll go whomp on them some more.

We had Universal HD for about a week, and then kerblooey. I've called them a couple of times to request it, but they seem less than eager to acquiesce to my request.

I have to say that as pretty as it is in High Def, they aren't showing it widescreen. What's the point in showing something in High Def if they are going to butcher it?

Yes, they are. It's widescreen, just like the DVDs. It sounds like a configuration problem on your end.

Well that's good to hear. If I could find my tv remote I could maybe solve the problem.
