I was definately surprised when I noticed what Early says about Book.

After Simon points out that he just attacked a shepherd Early says: "He's no shepherd" with such a sound of digust. First time I realized that there must be more to Book then he lets on.

They started showing The Shield here a few weeks ago and a few days ago I was watching 'Our Mrs. Reynolds' with a friend, and I noticed one of the "wreckers" was played by Benito Martinez who plays Captain Aceveda on The Shield. Weird seeing someone who's these days an established actor on a popular show in a guest role with about ten seconds of screen time.

Also I guess I'll mention what I've already said on the episode page about Out of Gas: In Serenity Kaylee asks Mal to get a compression coil. In OoG when Mal tells the other ship's captain what's broken, he asks "Sure it's not the compression coil?"

For some reason I kept thinking that the "hat" was in some way light-reflecting. You'd think that with all the times I've seen this show I'd understand shiny in future slang, but in this scene I never caught it.

I assumed he meant a crown - if he were the King of Londinium and all. "Shiny hat" is an odd name for a crown, but that's what a crown is. I hadn't thought about the term "shiny" in the Firefly-slang sense.

It is indeed Early. If you listen to the commentary for OIS, Joss states clearly that it is Early's voice we hear. You'll also notice that River sleeps through the other voices but snaps awake at Early's voice.

It's a coffee can, according to the commentary.

If you pay even closer attention to the crybaby you'll see that it's "Crybaby #6", indicating that they've pulled this gag 5 other times. The #6 is visible during the second shot of the crybaby rotating in space.

The thing that bugs me about the crybaby is that they don't use one in bushwacked. Seems like a pretty similar situation. Would have been helpful for getting away from the alliance too.

I noticed that too - I figure either
a) they'd run out of them or
b) Joss didn't want to get leaning on it as a plot device

or a) because of b).

Just watched Safe last night and I did notice something that I never noticed before. When Mal talks to Simon about taking River to town while he takes care of the deal with the cattle, there is a split second scene of a rustle in some bushes. I think this is supposed to show that the kidnapping hill folk were there listening in. I always did wonder how they knew Simon was a doctor. Now I know.

Such a great show. I like how they don't have to bang the audience over the head with every little detail. It's assumed that the audience is intelligent and will pay attention enough to pick up on things.
