Done The Impossible

I got my Done The Impossible DVD last week and watched a good chunk of it last night. It's pretty cool and has a lot of bonus features. I was a bit sad that the June 23 preview screenings weren't specifically mentioned in the Interactive Timeline as that was the one I actually went to. But that's a pretty minor quibble. I was a relative late-comer to the Firefly fandom (I didn't watch the series until it came out on DVD), so it was interesting to learn about all of the history that I missed out on. The audio from an entire Q&A session with Joss, Tim, Ben Edlund, and half the cast is included in the Interactive Timeline--that one feature alone is an hour long. There were a couple of videos from Q&A's at other cons, but I don't know how long they are. I had to give up and go to bed sometime.

I got 10/10 on the easy quiz. :-) The medium quiz, however, looks just about impossible.

One thing that caught my eye was the fact that one of the interviews was with a fan who was wearing a WriterCon 2004 t-shirt! I had to wait until the credits to find out what her online name was--turns out that it was [livejournal.com profile] agilebrit. I think I met her briefly at this year's WriterCon, but I am terrible at remembering faces and didn't recognise her.

Ah, so that's what all the extras were. Makes the doc a lot more tempting. And yes, odd that they left out those preview screenings, we went to one too.

I haven't watched all the extras yet--there are so many of them! Several videos are imbedded in the Interactive Timeline, but there are others in the bonus features menu. One is a tribute to the late Lux Lucre, a Firefly "uberfan" who passed away before Serenity was released. Adam Baldwin teared up a little when he was talking about him. It was quite moving.
