The rest of my Ten Things. (Thought of 'em when I couldn't go to sleep. Figures.)
Quote:
1. Never go a tradin' without your bullet-proof vest on.
2. Easy-peasy is better than humped.
3. A great doc will stick out his neck & save someone when a bad doc screws up.
4. Just because a girl is always wearing overalls and smudged with engine grease doesn't mean she wouldn't like to get dressed up and go to a big party.
5. Just because a girl smiles a lot and makes goofy comments doesn't mean she can't hold her own in a conversation.
6. Some rules are the same whether you're on a space ship or in a house:
a. Last one up makes sure all the lights are off.
b. A stranger in your house after bedtime is bad news.
c. The dishes still have to be done.
d. Some types of laundry really do need to hang dry.
7. Shuttles dock a lot faster than you'd think.
8. Wackos are, indeed, universal.
9. Everyone needs a red button.
10. Now matter how hard they try (and they ain't), FOX is still huh choo-sheng tza-jiao duh tzang-huo luh-suh.
(Thanks HAPLO721 and JASONZZZ for the Mandarine.)

Pheww. I finished reading the thread. And also gorrammit, this site keeps logging me off!!
Here's my contribution:
The colour of your coat makes a statement,
The colour of your belly too, for that matter.
Elephants can fly! Just the purple ones though.
You need a 54R sniper rifle, laser sights, to shoot a rabbit,
Coins ought to be carefully cleaned,
"I'm not leaving Serenity"
It's fun to make a poster when you've got all that browncoat support with you, see here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=3416

Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "Safe":
1. If you're ever in a firefight, and you're not sure where the bullets are flying, look to the man of God. Pretty much a magnet.
2. If your crazy sister is feeling especially honest with the town patron, try to find a way to shut her up. The town patron has a mean bitchslap.
3. Stopping to watch your sister cut a rug is no reason to get yourself snatched.
4. Apparently the words "Talent for alienating folk is damn near miraculous" is an inaudible phrase.
5. Damn it, Doctor! Do you not hear the hot mechanic? Holes! POSTS! Schmuck.
6. Town Teacher=Tattle Tale. Remember that later on, and you might not find yourself getting burned at the stake.
7. If your brother is being led through the woods by three strange and dirty men, it is not an invitation to play "Hide and Seek".
8. Takes a long time to polish up a pile of money.
9. If you're on the crew, no matter how much the Captain don't like you, he'll probably come get you. Don't push it though.
10. God's will? Shit, even though he's a hundred feet in the air, and its a shotgun, its got a laser sight mounted on it! Now that makes Jayne scary!

The Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "Ariel":
1. Be he a drug dealer, or a doctor, Simon knows the street value of the drugs at his disposal.
2. "We applied the cortical electrodes, but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient." See! How hard was that?
3. When Jayne swears something, hand to God, you better check his other hand to make sure his fingers aren't crossed.
4. When you don't have a keel to haul traitors from, you make due with what you got.
5. Do you want to tell me why you're giving a vaso-constrictor to this patient? Do ya? Thought not...punk!
6. Smiling and going the wrong direction in a core hospital is like to get you fired.
7. The Captain's lockpicking skills are not really up to snuff. If you hear him on the other side of a locked door, you might want to move.
8. When your psychic sister is terrified and says "They're here", get moving! The Blue Hands don't leave witnesses. Might not want to talk to River Tam if your a hospital guard either.
9. When you've just unsuccessfully tried to screw over your Captain, and he asks for your help in stowing the stolen goods, check to see if he has a wrench in his hand!
10. If you've just admitted to the Captain that you tried to sell out some of his crew, and he allows you to live, you should probably look forward to spending the night in the airlock.

Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "The Message":
1. If you start an autopsy on a man who's alive, you might end up having to endure the sight of your Captain straddling a butt nekkid dude.
2. Stealth? Malcolm Reynolds has no need for stealth.
3. See Kaylee? When you turn your attention from the Doctor, the guy who you turn your attention to might just use you for a human shield and get blood in your hair.
4. Mutated cattle fetuses, Ice Planets, goofy looking orange hats, dead guys...Some skyplexes have something for everyone.
5. Where was the pilot who calmly piloted Serenity from the Reavers on Whitefall? Cause that ain't the same guy flying the boat on St. Albans.
6. Police procedure might have changed from the time Wash was little, but Shepherd Book sure knows a lot about it.
7. When you steal a bunch of organs from people, and you leave a trail of bodies to be followed, kill a few extra folk and leave a false trail. Might help you, Mal, and the Allied Postal Service out later.
8. A dead body that might have gold stored in it might not be so dead.
9. Apparently, the casket of a recently deceased war veteran/buddy is a very comfortable place to be.
10. Strangely, a lot of umpleasantness might have been avoided if Tracey had just been told the plan. If you have a plan, tell any fidgety, armed corpses first, next time, huh?

Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "War Stories":
1. Yes...there's obeying going on right under your nose...so what?
2. What this marriage needs isn't one less husband, its one less Niska!
3. When Adelai Niska tortures you to death, you might want to think twice about putting another one of his henchmen through your engine.
4. So quick to blame River! Hey Zoe! Wash messed with the shuttle, not River. Just because she's moon brained don't make her a shuttle fiddler!
5. Speaking of fiddling, when your ear gets cut off, and the doctor who just reattached tells you not to fiddle with it...don't fiddle with it!
6. Inara in some hot girl on girl action. "I'll be in my bunk." may yet prove to be this show's greatest contribution to pop culture.
7. Hey, if I've just been tortured all day, and you see me struggling with the guy that did it, don't assume its something I have to do on my own!
8. Firefight, fire, fry cook oppurtunity...we all take the jobs we can get when we can.
9. Torture=Wife Soup. Now, I like soup, but that better be some damn great soup!
10. When your Captain has just had some strange device attached to his chest that involved blades and his heart stopping, watch where you hit him when you find free soup.

Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "Heart Of Gold":
1. If you ever want a disturbing mental image, just put Jayne next to a bunch of whores. He will mention his John Thomas, becoming his most poetical about his pecker. Ewww...
2. A dead horse is just cover...shoot the man on the horse. Unless that horse is a landspeeder with a mounted gun, and the man is carrying a laser pistol. Then its just a recipe for unpleasantness.
3. The Jayne Cobb school of gunhandling carries some "stiff" penalties for pulling the trigger instead of squeezing.
4. Pregnant hookers might have interesting people inside them waiting to get out.
5. How you gonna tell the Captain time and again that you don't service crew, and then cry when he finally gets some booty from someone else...For SHAME, space hooker!
6. While having boy-whores around might be considerate, they may not service womenfolk. They're just for the sly guys. Kinda makes you wonder what kind of cowboy town has enough gay men in it to warrant a gang of boy-whores.
7. Apparently assisting Jayne in a firefight means handing him guns. Might be a good position to be in if you need your hair brushed.
8. Being the father of a whore's kid is a mighty dangerous line of work. And, for the love of God, never, ever try to meet your son.
9. A good powder dicharge weapon vs. a light, handheld laser that overheats. Technology can only be of service as long as its taken care of well. What did we learn?
10. While hitting a man with a closed fist may be, on occasion, hilarious, its nowhere near as satisfying as hitting a man with a pistol butt!
