Mal had to install the catalyzer first to get the engine running and the life-support working, otherwise he would have run out of air and probably died before the others returned.

I guess what I meant to say is, he COULD have hit the button first and then did the needle thing. OR did the needle thing first and then the button and then the installing the catalyzer part. Or whatever. In anycase, the others would at least have been headed back sooner, because he had the necessary part in his (admittedly bloody) hands. See?

Mal couldn't hit the red button first, cuz then there wouldn't have been much dramatic setup involving the crew returning on their own. Would there? So there, hah.

I'm always right, cuz I know everything.

Hmmm. I certainly know what the annoying thing in THIS thread is!!

All good catches, though in reference to the person who noticed the Blue Sun logo on the crybaby in "Serenity" -- I think it's just irony that they used a Blue Sun product (soda? paint?) to make their little device. It also sets up that there's something called Blue Sun, which I never even noticed until I bought the DVD's and listented to the commentaries (I'm dumb). Yes, even though River slashes the logo on Jayne's shirt. I thought she was just being River.

In "Our Mrs. Reynolds," just before Saffron kicks Wash, he starts to say (regarding Zoe), "In fact, the first time we met, she actually tried to f(thud)."

I always wondered what she tried to do, but watching it the other day, I realized he also gets the "r" out and part of the vowel; the word is "frisk." High comedy.

I've got a few corrections to make to http://www.browncoats.com/main.php?parent=405a8603e9a13&line=3e546f888
09e9 (sorry if anyone else has said anything)

"When we first encounter the Reaver ship, it and Serenity fly extrememly slowly past each other, which makes for good dramatic effect, but doesn't make much sense (as Joss admits in the commentary)"

Plenty of ways to explain this. It's a freakish coincidence, by any explanation, but not neccessarily a blooper ;) The reavers could be just beginning to speed up after leaving a planets orbit (the planet would have to be moving in serenity's general direction), and they just happened to match Serenity's speed at the time. Spatial physics, people!

"The lady in a burkha on the train is shown carrying a baby in the background when everyone has to get off the train. Watch her, a jeep passes by her quite slowly and she doesn't notice and walks right into it, baby's head first!"

I never laughed so hard in my life!

"When Zoe says "Ship powered down on its own" there's no staticy clicking sound of the suit communicators turning on and off before and after she speaks, although the sound is present in all of her other lines while suited."

If you listen throughout the whole sequence, the clicks are sporatic anyways. Sometimes they're very soft, sometimes very loud.

"After Mal punches Saffron, CGI snowflakes fall behind his head -- indoors!"

Definately not CGI. I'm thinking more along the lines of a lot of dust caught in a beam of light. Haven't any of you ever seen this in your own house?

"When River shoots the three guards dead, the shot of the docking bay (when Kaylee looks out) is reversed. The office with the window is on the left instead of the right."

Check again ;) The 'office' was always on the left.

"When the ship is backing up into the ice cave the engines are pointed in the wrong direction for it to actually go backwards!"

Again, not understand physics here! Wash would've already turned the engines in the opposite direction of the ice cave to give the ship momentum to get into it. The shot we see would be wash turning the engines towards the cave to slow the ship down, and not smack into the back of the cave.

"When Chari lets Rance in the back door, there is a HUGE TRUCK or TRAILER thing behind him (you have to slow down the playback to see a good look at it)."

Yep, but it's also there when Book sprays the folks off the horses with the water hose. Looks to me like it's supposed to be there. By the way, it's labelled "Andersons" on the side.

Finally, I have one of my own to add:
In The Message, when Wash puts Serenity into a nose dive to avoid the falling rocks, watch the scene where Zoe and Book are thrown forwards. They're both laughing ;)

Heh...there's one you missed, Mr. "You don't understand physics"-type person!

Think about what you just wrote -- it's not the laughing that's the biggest blooper in that scene with the nose-dive.

Yeah yeah, I know. They'd be thrown backward with the ship doing a nosedive.. but lets just assume the gravity generator somehow reversed it
