Jewel Staite, AKA Kaylee on SF series Firefly, told conventioneers in Australia that a Blu-ray special edition of the show is coming soon, according to TV Guide online.

“I just heard that they’re re-releasing Firefly, a special edition of Firefly, in a box set. They actually asked me if I was able to come down to L.A. and do a commentary in the spring. So I think that would be fun.”

No date yet, but this is awesome news. The short lived series is one of the best Sci-Fi shows to come along in many years.

Blu-Ray Laser Phaser! - video powered by Metacafe

First off, this guy’s hypnotic voice makes me feel like Data himself is explaining things. Basically, you just install a Blu-Ray laser into a Star Trek phaser gun and you have a shiny new geek toy. It costs less than $100 to build, and possibly your eyesight.

I’m gonna try this myself over the weekend. If you don’t see any updates on Monday, it’s because I haven’t seen anything since Saturday.
