It is definitely worth the cost of purchasing, and the time to watch it (repeatedly, in my case). The funny thing is that every single person I have introduced to the show (and at this point, there are a few) echoed the same sentiments you have - it came to an end far too quickly. As always (at least in relation to Firefly), blame Fox - their atrocious handling of it when it was on television is the root cause of its eventual downfall. As for Clark, he is definitely worth the read, especially when you try to contextually place his writing in a time where "outer space" was a new phrase, and we were literally breaking the envelope on a monthly basis.

Through glowing reviews from people like you and Kevin Baker I developed the interest, then requested and received it for Christmas last year. As of last weekend I am halfway through the third disk, and already am saddened that the series is coming to an end. It's been no less great than you and others said it would be. I will take the same perspective when going about reading Clark's works. Thanks.
