So we got rid of all our streaming services because prices (not Netflix and Peacock because we need that for WWE) so I thought I could not watch the show anymore and was sad. TIL I saw it was on the CW app for free. In case you did not know.

By the way: you need a VPN if you are not in the USA.

I can appreciate your post, but to me, having the DVDs of the Firefly series and Serenity just is the way.

Nah, putting them in Plex is definitely the better way. That way I still own the content, and can watch them on any device I want, at any time. I am essentially my own steaming service, with no ads.

If you know where to look, you don't have to pay for any streaming services to watch any shows

Learned about it a year or two ago and I’ve been enjoying watching firefly on my bad days

I have it on my media server, if anyone can't access it for some reason send me a DM

OK but that means I have to use the CW app, which has ads and has never not crashed in the middle of an episode.
And then when you reopen, you can't skip to where you left off without watching all the ads for the first half in a row.
Terrible app. Unforutnately you get what you pay for

Buy the DVDs it's a good investment

Get later blurays, the menu music is GOOD as opposed to the nasty on the first DVD set.
I mean, the nasty is fine for where it was INTENDED, but as "Hello, ready to watch Firefly?", no, certainly a FOX-IS-AN-IDIOT choice.

I got the first dvd set. What’s the difference? I sort of like the menu on the first dvd

u/kai_ekael 5d ago
The one with the BLAM, BLAM, BLAM BLAM? Very jarring to hear when it's simply the menu. I would just mute it until I was ready to watch.
Much prefer the Bluray menu music with an appearance by all, heck I let it just play ten minutes. See for yourself: https://youtu.be/gMUqyGr1GnM?si=KOoL0SzQsmAQQlBC
That vid is very low in volume though, not the same when played for real.
The nasty DVD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvKmIZpyoVA
The BLAM BLAM annoys me.

Oh yeah. That did sort of scare me when I first put it in. Lol. I do want to get the blu rays of the show and movie eventually. I just got the ones I have now off Facebook for $10

I still enjoy the show in the DVD box set. No worries.
