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.
I just paused the DVD and saw that too. Very cool. I wonder if anyone has ever taken the time to make a good Kaylee costume with all the little details needed? It would be a cool thing to see.

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.
I have a strong astronomy background and I too felt this was a gross error. However, after I saw the film preview I see now I did not know all the facts.
if you want to know now I'll place it in spoiler text.
Select to view spoiler:
The film states clearly that the 'verse is all contained within 1 star system. The planets near the star are the core worlds and those on fringes (mostly moons) are rim worlds. This makes a trip of 86 million miles totally viable.
However, it still leaves the terrible problem that a star system with 100's of earth worlds is utterly implausable if you subscribe to modern threories of planet formation.
Also at odds with the film explaination is that planets need to be in the "sweet Spot" near the star to be an earth. This range is around 89-99 million miles from our sun. Earth is nested at 93 million. There are actually far more science holes in the firefly verse than the perceved mis-statement from the hands of blue.

I was just watching Bushwhacked again and was surprised to see a tiny detail I never had before: Wash putting his hands up (in an oh-so-Wash-like way) when the Alliance Commander first boards the ship. That scene is great for the way each character has their own way of presenting themselves. I guess I've always been busy focusing on Mal that I never caught it...

"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"
I've listened a couple times. It sounds like the rattle of a loose deck grating to me. Anyone else?

Well I finally caught on to something just today and I feel silly.
It involves Two-Fry's nice hat. I never got the fact that as Mal is talking to Patience and Two-Fry he was actually speaking in code to Jayne.
So many people get all caught up in the misdirect of Jayne sighting Mal into the crosshairs of the rifle scope they loose sight of the fact that what Jayne is actually doing is using the sight as binoculars of-a-sort to observe what's going down. This, coupled with the transmitter in his ear, allows him to understand the gist of events twixt Patience+Crew and Mal+Zoe.
Knowing this, Mal prepares for the fight by saying "That's quite a Rifle. Boy must be your best shot to carry that" Which translates to Jayne as "Two-Fry is the one you need to eleminate ASAP, I will identify him in a moment for you" Then the line "Two-Fry, nice hat" translates into "Two-Fry is wearing the fancy hat. Shoot him now"

Ok, i admit i didnt read the whole thread... sorry :(
Could someone tell me where in 'Serenity' it shows that they wrote the name of the ship? I always liked the idea that, unlike every other sci-fi ship, they didnt write S E R E N I T Y in big letters on the side because it would identify them...... now i'm sad!

In the Pilot episode, after they land on Persephone, there is a still shot of the Bridge of the ship from the ground. If you look carefully you can see the name. It's also one of the random pictures that will appear on this website in the upper left corner of your screen as you move from page to page here.

Maybe it's just me, but ...
At the end of "Trash", an unclothed 
Mal steps onto the ship; Wash and Zoe are trying not to look down or laugh, and as Wash steps away, you can hear him say something to Zoe that sounds like, "He's Jewish!"
Anyone else hear that?

I have yet again noticed a new thing I hadn't noticed before.
In the flashback of the Battle of Du Khang, Tracey refers to the Lt who has lost his mind as being 100% ok and having "10 pretty little fingers like the most of the men"
By phrasing it that way, Tracey is indicating that not everybody in the Platoon still has 10 fingers. Thus the rigors of combat.
It was a very subtle line.

At the end of "Safe", in the kitchen, Jayne takes a dinner roll out of the basket and passes it to Zoe. A second later, he reaches for another roll while she's passin the basket along.
Last week I noticed the reason he reached for a second dinner roll: River snitched his while he was passing the basket to Zoe!
