Finally you get to see the ‘verse close up and personal, with more detail than you knew existed! Plus there’s extra stuff. FIREFLY Besides how great it will be to see this in high-def - I may have to break down and buy a damn blu-ray player now - there’s new stuff! A new additional audio commentary by Joss, Nathan, Alan and Ron (on “Our Mrs. Reynolds”) and the featurette “‘Firefly’ Reunion: Lunch with Joss, Nathan, Alan and Ron.” Yes, we get to hear Nathan talk about his bride.
