I couldn't stop laughing.

I thought Jane was poking her as a character thing. He kind of pulls the strap of her dress and snaps it back. Like when he puts his finger in Simon's cake in Out of Gas. He's just feeling up the new merchandise.

Watched the pilot and Train Job last night in anticipation of the movie tonight. Near the end, the creepifying Blue Hands guy says, "I didn't come 86 million miles to investigate the theft of some medical supplies" (or something to that effect). It occured to me that 86 million miles, spacially, isn't all that far - you know, about the distance from the Sun to the Earth-that-is.
That's our lovely Firefly writers. They're great with the stories, but when it comes to the science of space, uh...
Unless maybe the blue hands man came from a planet near to the ship they were in. hmm.

Well...
Select to view spoiler:
After watching the movie, that (and the whole cosmology of Firefly) made a lot more sense. 86 million miles is easily plausible, and probably a pretty long distance all things considered.

OK, we all notice Jayne's touchy fingers, so you can get pretty smashed if you had a Firefly drinkinng game that intailed to drink each time you saw Jayne unnessarily touch something like Safforn when he's not in the show.
Well, when the crew first gathers to meet Safforn, notice Jayne's hands. They go on his belt to off his belt in every other shot. I think there's something else in that scene, but I can't remember.
In Train Job, the woman in the yellow mask thingy in the train is really a man. When I noticed it I found it a blaring mistake and I got paranoid about that person. It could be a spy or anybody. I kind of wonder if they purposely put that man in woman clothing or not.
When I find more stuff from watching the series before the movie, I'll post it.

I noticed recently that Mal addresses Kaylee as "meimei" in Serenity. It's Chinese for "little sister," and we hear it more often from Simon adressing River. Still, I think it pegs Mal and Kaylee's friendship.
As for "shiny"--I think it's interesting that the first thing they refer to as shiny really does reflect light: the shiny nutrition supplements. Part of what I like about the "shiny hat" line is that it could be taken both ways.
One thing that's always bugged me is that the crewmembers call Inara "the ambassador" repeatedly during the pilot, and then the term is never used again.
Two details I really love:
In "Our Mrs. Reynolds," Inara's expression when Mal storms right past her, saying that he and Saffron are the only people who don't think their marriage is funny. He's so oblivious sometimes.
The lighting in the "Trash" scene when Mal and YoSafBridge have just stolen the lassiter--it's amazing how the shadows work out so that he looks warm but she looks cold.

Because I've got the DVD."

I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this:
In "Ariel", right after the CGI Helicopter/Ambulance (Heli-lance?) lands, look at the landing gear.
When they cut to the actors, the landing gear has grown wheels!
They're just prop dollies used to move the vehicle to that spot, but I guess they forgot to remove them before shooting.

Not a blooper, but at 12:22 into "The Message", right before River calls Simon a boob, Jayne (with letter in mouth), walks by Simon and mutters something. Sounds like he's calling Simon a hack or something for getting Kaylee p.o'd again. It's not on subs or in the scripts. Anyways, just wondering if anyone else heard it.

I should really learn to pay attention. On my gazillionth viewing of bushwhacked, I finally noticed that when Kaylee carefully hands a rather heavy engine part to Simon ... he promptly drops it.

Something completely unimportant, but amusing as hell, in Our Mrs. Reynolds, at the campfire party scene, as the camera pans onto Mal and I think the Amish looking guy, there is a fairly short looking, very drunk guy, playing the air guitar.
Hilarious.

You can see the heart when she places her hands on her hips after Mal says "I don't think there's a power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from being cheerful".
In other episodes she also has a second pair of overalls (most notably in 'Safe') with a purple mouse on the top left breast pocket.
Kaylee is way cute.
