I don't know if it is money or hubris or what, but the comics feel to me just as bad as Lucas changing and adding scenes to the original Star Wars Trilogy. They're not necessary. They're not really true to the stories or th characters the TV series told. Ah well.
I suppose there's a lot of demand for those universes and characters to go on existing. I'll watch my box sets and be happy with what they were.

You mean the decision that was made was by FOX to cancel Firefly?
How the heck are the stories not true to the TV series??? To me it felt like meeting back up with old friends. Yeah Better Days isn't really that important to the overall arc of the story but then again neither were some of the episodes. Those Left Behind links the TV show to the movie and is way more important to the overall story than, say, Heart of Gold.
Joss didn't get the chance to tell the stories that he wanted with Firefly because Fox screwed the show and then the movie wasn't a mega success.
I hope you continue to enjoy the box set and the movie but you really are missing out on the rest of the story he would have told on TV given the chance because of your anti-comic book bias. Hopefully others can get past it because when I read Mal in the book it I hear Nathan Fillion speaking the lines.
