It seems like I notice something new every time I watch a Firefly episode. Some I feel pretty dense for not noticing the first time around. Others are just cool little details.

This last time, watching "Serenity," I noticed the name painted on the side of the ship -- finally! Just never caught it before.

So, what little things have you noticed after multiple viewings?

I finally noticed the hologram-brain in "Ariel" starting to spaz just before River screams.....incidentally, just when Jayne begins talking about the change in plans.

-In Ariel, the bit that Wash throws at the dilapitated Ambulance is a catalyser - yup, the engine piece that caused so much trouble in OoG.

-The look on Wash's face on HoG, when Kaylee knocks him to the deck to get him out of the range of fire of burgess' men. Hi-larious.

-Also from HoG - Book: "Been following the footsteps of a carpenter for some time now." It took me a while to get this: Jesus was trained in Joseph's trade. Carpentry.

1. the blue sun logo on the crybaby transmitter in "serenity"

2. the catalyser in "ariel" as someone else mentioned.


here is another question, what are things you keep looking for but cannot find:

1. dobson's body on the ground when serenity takes off from whitefall to escape the reavers. maybe it is just too small.

I tend to notice small things like:

- the cable moving along the floor behind our BDHs in OoG when Mal is showing Zoe the ship for the 1st time.

- the guy in the hat & Hawaiian shirt who walks into the shot in Shindig.

- one of the candles on Simon's birthday cake being out one second, and lit the next in OoG.

Just to name a few....

Dobson's wedding ring in the pilot. Makes me cheer just a little less when Mal caps him.

The hand that guides the "Mule" off of Serenity by the front bumper in The Pilot "Serenity". I guess they may have shot this scene after the one that comes later where Nathan almost gets run over.....little more cautious this time?

In OMR, when Mal and YoSafBrig are sitting and talking in the engine room (about ten minutes into the episode), there is a three second shot where she is completely in shadow and can't be seen, but is well-lit before and after. Just noticed that last Friday.

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

I just rewatched every single episode this weekend while house sitting at a friends... who has a big screen TV! Yay!

It has been a while so it was almost like watching them for the first time.

What I noticed this time around...
The cars driving back and forth in the distance behind Zoe and Jayne in 'War Stories'.
And
I still have a hard time concentrating for a bit after the scene where Simone is talking to Early without his shirt on in 'Objects in Space'.

I also noticed that Jayne is almost always wearing something that has a stain on it somewhere!LOL.

OK, here's something I noticed just last night. In "Serenity", the control yoke for Inara's shuttle (that she leaves upside-down when taking off) is black, but in "Jaynestown" the yoke in her shuttle is white. Nit-picky, but true!

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."
