That's totally beside the point, we need our show to pop up everywhere and win everything, so gogo download already ;-)

Where it differs from iTunes is that you get a large, higher rez copy for watching on your PC and a smaller copy optimized for your handheld device, whereas iTunes gives you one file that’s somewhere in between. Consequently you get a much crisp bigscreen version and a portable one with a smaller filesize.

The FRACKING point is... What good to US is being able to download Firefly episodes? Its not like they are new episodes.. and everyone here except the ABSOLUTE newbies owns multiple box sets.

I am all for popularising Firefly but advertising the fact that we can download Firefly episodes on this site serves no real purpose other than enlightenment.

Lets preach to the choir..

Let's expand the choir!

Enlighten someone else!

Tell others they can download one episode of TV for free and you have a suggestion like Firefly.
And it is still #2 after 24. Whoo-hoo!

Like the idea above of keeping a downloaded episode on a laptop to show whenever. Airplane rides etc. Read this idea elsewhere about having a portable DVD player with Serenity DVD: Have three sets of earplugs and ask your seatmates if they want to watch a great TV episode.

Same with handheld devices. Have a Firefly episode on it--to show to people what TV episodes look like on the device. Like "See you can watch TV episodes on it too." "That is too little...hey what show is that?..."

Thanks, fans, for letting us know how we should be presenting this show. You'll see that the shows are now numbered as they should be, starting with "Serenity."

On a personal note, I watched the show when it first aired and never really dug it. But then I watched it again, as it was intended, and now I'm a huge fan. Better late than never!

The pilot is 1.2GB. It gets to live on my computer permanently. And the next time I'm yakking about Firefly and Serenity to someone who's never seen it before, I can slide my laptop across to them and say, "Hope you have some time. Enjoy. I'll be back with snacks."

Besides, my boxed set lives at home (where the OTHER Browncoats live!) This way I can always get my fix, even if I get stranded.

Rack up numbers for Firefly? You bet. Get my fix? You bet. Can't stop the signal? ... You have to ask?
