The fact that there was apparently only one brown suede long coat made for Nathan Fillion for the series.

What do I mean? Well, I still have to check "Serenity" to be sure, but I thought that both sleeves on the coat were pretty much intact until Mal was shot in the shoulder by Patience or one of her men. Then he had to stich it up.

Only I just watched "Out of Gas" this morning. In the very first flashback, while Mal is talking about, "what she could be," I noticed the left sleeve was stiched right where he was shot in "Serenity" which happens much later in the timeline.

Now, I'd be checking my facts right now, only I loaned Vol 1 and 2 to a friend who just got to watch them yesterday. He called to say, "It's your fault. I have only 2 DVDs and it's your fault."

hee!

In 'Our Mrs Reynolds', the crew are gathered on the bridge trying to fix the damage that Saffron created.

Shepherd Book delivers his speech on what will happen to them when they reach the net and stands behind Mal.

Before and during the part where Mal delivers the line: "Well, keep on it. We can't fall into that net", Shepherd Book smiles and turns away - TWICE!

I'll have to look for Jayne's finger on "Our Mrs. Reynolds," there. Here's some other bits I noticed after dissecting the episode again:

After Jayne is playing with Saffron's shawl ("Can I know her?") Mal says "You're gonna be cleaning latrines with your face if you keep that up." Don't ask me why, but I didn't catch that line until, like, the ninth viewing.

The part where Saffron pulls out the little heat-strip thing and puts it on the door frame, right after she pulls the cover off, the strip starts to glow, like it's heating up.

Saffron then heads to shuttle #2 to make her getaway. She opens the door and Inara is there. As she turns away to apologize, she has this look on her face for a second like "woah, that was close."

Here's a possible goof: The scene after Mal wakes up, he starts buttoning his shirt again. I'm not positive, but I think he buttons his top button twice.

Every well-bred petty crook knows that the small, concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.

Isn't the King of londinium's shiny hat a crown? It would make more sense surely.

There is no such thing as a stupid question. Only stupid people.

In Trash, when Jayne is working on getting the circuit board out of the trash container (while standing on Serenity), the camera pans up the container to him. It passes a computer screen, clearly showing a Windows 2000 screen (New Hardware Detection Wizard, close as I can tell).

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

might not be a wedding ring.
and even if it was, bad and dangerous doesn't change 'cause you may have a woman (or a man) somewhere.
there are alliance who'd just as soon string up everyone on serenity because of simon and river.
some of 'em are married.
doesn't spare 'em from a bullet if need be.


Simon: "What if the captain says to shoot me?"
Zoe (without missing a beat): "I shoot you."

I couldn't stop laughing.


Just watched it last night. That was pretty funny. I never noticed it before either. Kaylee just stole the stage and I never noticed what was going on at the sides of the screen. I don't even know why it was funny but it was. Perfectly executed IMO.



That cracked me up, too. Especially having heard in the commentary that Jayne is always touching, tasting and smelling things!
He puts his finger into Simon's birthday cake on Out of Gas, I think he even smells the hat his Ma sends him in The Message...

During "Our Mrs.Reynolds", after Saffron "quotes" the bible, Mal says "Whoa, good bible". Later after Saffron tells Wash the myth of Earth-that-was, Wash says "Whoa, good myth." the exact same way Mal did, and with the exact same look on his face!

Here's something I just noticed last week long after I'd thought that I'd seen everything that there was to see in every episode:

In War Stories, right before they start the attack on the skyplex the camera pans through everyone really quick and for a split second you can see Simon putting his gun in his pants. Which...makes me burst into uncontrollable giggles.

Simon's a gangsta, yo.

Also, I'll add that, long ago, I'd watched OiS three times before I realized that Early was on the ceiling above Simon. Yes, I was staring at his shirtlessness, which that angle was very, very good for.

Has anyone mentioned the one in the pilot where, having escaped the Reavers, Wash is only pantomiming holding the yoke, his arms extended, no yoke?

Also in the pilot, Badger is peeling an apple on his desk with a device which keeps it a good distance away from him. This not only tells us that he's a man of some small wealth, but maybe that he's cautious about who might slip a Griswold in his apple.

The Crybaby is probably a coffee can: you can see the word "Caffeine" on it.

I figured a Crybaby was not deployed in Bushwacked because, unlike in the pilot, the Alliance cruiser was already upon them. The Crybaby was probably deployed long before the Dortmunder arrived and was a good distance away.

And in War Stories, right before Serenity crashes into the Skyplex, one of the guards is reading a magazine with a model in a swimsuit, a caption reads(as if to warn him!) "Stop Staring!" This was a real magazine, not one created for the show, and the model is the lovely Jami Deadly ( http://www.deadlycurves.com/ ) who was really surprised and pleased to find herself on an episode of Firefly!
