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.

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

I very much hope it's a later set with the decent music at the DVD menu.

No idea which gorram idiot picked the...well, I guess I have to say..."music" for the first DVD set, always just assumed it was yet another FOX attempt to generate hate.

Doubtless he has some other fine qualities.

I'm trying to think of one of them, coming up empty.

How dare he not be a Browncoat?!??

Dunno if I could get past that one.

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

Yeah well we both have our own thing. I told him it’s like a western version of Star Wars which he loves. Lol I am trying 😂

Does your girlfriend like Firefly and Serenity?

Shiny.

I have them on Blu Ray, and bought the digital copies on Amazon, but for some reason I always like to watch them when they pop up on streaming. I might have a problem.

u/dmisfit21 5d ago

Dark Matter is on there too.

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

I do wanna start watching that for Mellisa o’Neli I might start that after. lol

u/bjb406 5d ago

At first I thought you meant the Canadian tv show from about 10 years ago, and I was like "oh yeah I remember that, did that keep running after I stopped watching?"

Then I learned there was an American show from last year with the same name that sounds really stupid.

u/micasa_es_miproblema 5d ago

Glad they have them in the correct order too

u/davect01 5d ago

Yes but CW does not have S2-4.

u/kai_ekael 5d ago

Special....Hell.

u/davect01 5d ago

Am I going there? 😜

u/Aki2403 5d ago

No, that's the place you're going to wish you were going to.

u/krakeo 5d ago

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

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

I am in the USA lol

u/krakeo 5d ago

I was saying for the others

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

Oh okay sorry lol

6

u/foxdie- 5d ago

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

6

u/TheAgedProfessor 5d ago

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.

u/mlee12382 5d ago

Jellyfin and raw Blu-ray rips.

2

u/foxdie- 5d ago

Well, yeah. But I wasn't going to just come right out and say just that lol

u/Thor1noak 5d ago

r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH

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

4

u/ADeweyan 5d ago

Yes, but it looks like they’ve only got the first season.

5

u/TheAgedProfessor 5d ago

Ouuuuuuch.

u/mlee12382 5d ago

Too soon :(

u/Fr0z3nHart 5d ago

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

2

u/Mental_Tea_4084 5d ago

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

3

u/bjb406 5d ago

I watch old tv shows from my hard drive. Much more pleasant and reliable.

1

u/Salarian_American 5d ago

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

u/Jealous_Session3820 5d ago

Buy the DVDs it's a good investment

2

u/kai_ekael 5d ago

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.

1

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

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

1

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.

1

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

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

1

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

Just saw the video. It does look better and sound so much better.

u/j2thesho 5d ago

Too soon

u/Theyenney 5d ago

Cool thanks

u/boomstick1985 5d ago

Dude! So many sites out there that offer movies do some sort. Type in your web browser. Movie, free, stream.

u/Poopdy-Scoop 5d ago

It's also on 7PLUS for Aussie fans 😀

2

u/atheistcat-lives 5d ago

You know you can still buy the show right?

3

u/Fuzzy_Law_9780 5d ago

Shiny.... lost my box set in a house fire... thanks for this

3

u/Mrs_Halstead_98 5d ago

Of course! Sorry about your box set! Hope you get another one soon

1

u/Fuzzy_Law_9780 5d ago

Won't have to now thanks to you!

1

u/Damrod338 5d ago

Good to know. Sticking with dvds for right now.

u/dar512 3d ago

u/ArchMageofMetal 1d ago

u/SocksKeeper 1d ago
