So, is he saying Kaylee would look like a sheep or that Kaylee dressed up like a lady would be as unlikely as a sheep walking on tow legs?
Meaning Kaylee in a full skirt would be as impractical and inefficient as a sheep walking on its hind legs.

Another funny one -- to me at least -- is in the episode SHINDIG, where, as Badger is leaving Serenity, he says, "Ta for a nice evening then."
I don't remember what the subtitles say, but whoever wrote them didn't know that "Ta" is a British slang term for "thank you."
What would be wrong with "Thank you for a nice night?"
Although, actually, what he says is "Ta (thank you) very much for a lovely night, then."

The only line I cringe at is Zoe in the pilot,where Mal and the crew are laughing at Simon for believing that Kaylee is dead.
"So,Kaylee is really okay?"
To me that line was written for the morons who couldn't follow the story. Two seconds before they show Kaylee waving at Simon!?!?! Overall it's not a big deal,but for me that's the dumbest line in the entire series.
"Hamsters is nice."

But if I have to give an example it would be when in The Train Job Jayne is laughing about what Wash said about blowing a new crater in this little moon, it seemed out of character because I could never see Jayne laughing at anything Wash says.
I always though Jayne laughed there because he really liked the idea of blowing a new crater in something regardless of who made the suggestion.

WE, via the camera's p.o.v. have been to the infirmary, but Zoe hasn't, therefore she's asking how Kaylee's doing, at a period just after "the golden hour" when minutes mean everything.
Wash hasn't been to the infirmary, either, he's been "rabbiting" the ship away from the Alliance cruiser.
Makes perfect sense to me.

Actually, generating a gravity field can be done just as efficiently as generating light or sound, once you know the trick. (The trick will be discovered in 2300 a.d.)
Like so many things, it's only hard when you don't know how to do it.
