Finally caught an episode of it after missing the first two...(?) It was great seeing Kate and Adam on the screen again. And Carrie Preston!(No cheesy fries though )

Is anyone keeping a tally of how many references to other shows they're dropping ? I think I saw a thread here about 'hands of blue', the gloves that crime scene folks wear. Well, on just tonights episode, I observed -

More Hands of Blue

Angel - name of a neighbor girl's cat.

Something else , but my mind just went blank.....ummm.

Oh, and in the preview of next weeks ep about why a killer cut open a victim ..." to see what's inside? "

Ahhh.....REAVERS!!!

The movie that stalker-guy was watching people come out of: Once More With Feeling (name of the Buffy Musical).

Best moment for me wasn't really a reference though (I don't think). When Danny gave the kid the pointer on proper (toy) gun handling (hand under the grip). That was cute and Jayne-esque.

That was my favorite part, too. I miss Jayne.

My show is too pretty to die.

My favorite part so far was Danny interrogating the effeminate man in the second episode. The guy was talking about how anal his boss was (must have used the word 'anal' about 4 times in his sentence), and Danny just stared at him for a while and said something to the effect of "You don't say..." It seemed like a very Jayne thing to do. I couldn't stop laughing.

btw, saw a preview for "Bones" (The new David Boreanaz show) during "The Inside". It looked really good from the ad.

I wish more people were watching this show, so it would hopefully stay on the air. The show is great on its own, but with the added bonus of all the Firefly, Angel, and Buffy references to look for, it's absolutely FANtastic. People who aren't watching this are really missing out.

I haven't kept track exactly, but I think there have been at least two references to either Firefly, Angel, Buffy, or some combination of the three in each episode, so far.

Oh, and the characters are really interesting and well-written, too - not like the cardboard characters on CSI and Law & Order. If you liked Jayne on Firefly, you'll like Adam Baldwin as Danny on The Inside. He's not exactly the same, of course, but he has a lot of similarities. Plus, Katie Finneran is hilarious. Her reaction to Web's joke about seizing the (Angel) cat (as evidence) broke me up.

I sure hope this show picks up enough viewers to stay on the air. Remember folks, it's on F*X.

The whole cat jumping out of a chest and startling a character has been done on Buffy, too. The two scenes are similar enough that I expected the cat, loved how it was named Angel BTW, to jump out.

And I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the name of the play or movie at the theatre. I can't wait for the episodes written by former Buffy,Angel, and Firefly writers. I suspect there will be more references to come.

Although it wasn't a reference to the Joss 'verse, in the second episode, the building where the Violent Crimes Unit is housed was named the Hollis Mulwray Federal Building.

Hollis Mulwray is the husband of Faye Dunaway's character in Chinatown, and it's his murder that sets the plot in motion.

Loving The Inside. Lots of alumni from former shows. The nun from Wonderfalls (penguin episode)in this ep, I think someone on another board said the woman in the preview for next week was Jaye's family's housekeeper. And Amber Benson "Tara" in episode 11. plus all the fun references like "Once More With Feeling".

The ad for "Bones" looked interesting, but I kept thinking, "it's daylight, shouldn't he be bursting in to flames."

There was a screencap from The Inside on a few weeks ago. If I do remember correctly, the "Once More With Feeling" marquee has an image of Nathan and Morena about to kiss towards the right. But somebody will want to check on that.

Thank you so much for your post. I kept looking at that name and thinking I should know it; like it had a certain familiarity, but I just couldn't place it. Thanks for clearing that up.
