In the last scene, Mal sitting in Wash's chair on the bridge. And Wash's plastic palm trees and dinosaurs are still on top of the console. Put a lump in my throat.

Though it might be off-topic... what Morena ought to be is "Wonder Woman"... Joss is writing/directing that movie too.

One that hasn't been mentioned:

When the Operative skewers Mr. Universe, watch his face very closely. There's anger there, briefly, then a realization of that anger, then confusion as to why it was experienced.

Very subtle, but cool. All these little things that Mal and Co. do eventually get to be more than the Operative can deal with.

It's interesting, but I'm getting to love this movie more and more as time goes on... Which is sayin' sumtin'!

The Pyro - 53r3n1ty's /\w350m3! F1r3fly t00!

That scene got to me. I found myself mumbling silently "Aww, the dinos.". I was sad but very glad that they had left the dinos where Wash had left them.

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but when Mal is on the birdge at the end, the *first* thing he does is flip 3 switches that remind me suspiciously of what Alan did every single time on the series.

I think that was an intentional throwback, but maybe not.

No one else seemed to mention it...

Chewitel Ejiofor (sp?) did an AMAZING job in this movie. The pauses and inflections in his delivery when he's talking to Dr. Matthias add such a terrifying menace to what he's saying.

Well, of course -- if you saw any of the publicity posters that featured that very shot.

actually, i didn't think of the posters, i just thought that they couldn't possibly kill anyone else off since they killed Wash and Book, and that River was trained as an assasin so she knew some kick ass moves, and that, although i'm usually too into the movie to notice this, it's cliche that she would come back uncorpified. It just happens in all of the movies. Maybe if i waasn't soooooo jolted at seeing Wash impaled 2 scenes before, i would have been afraid for river. I don't know.

River: There's too much snow on top. It's going to cave in. His brain is in grave danger.
Zoe: River, honey, he's putting the hair away now.
River: It doesn't matter. It'll still be there. Waiting...

Y'know, that's what I thought initially too. But after seeing it for the fourth time, I realized there's _almost_ a tear in his eye. He loses his faith here--he believed in doing evil for the pursuit of good, and here he realized that it _wasn't_ for good. He'd been betrayed, and that is what shows in his face (it's also why he calls off the troops, and helps the crew restore Serenity, and appears in different clothing for that last talk with Mal). Which makes perfect sense, given Joss's predilection for humanizing villains. I got clued into this via Soupcatcher, and another post here (where?) that compares the Operative to a samurai.

Which reminds me of one of the most painful scenes
Select to view spoiler:

The final battle when the crew is prepping for battle, and Kaylee asks "Where's Wash?" and Gina says "He's not coming." The camera moves from face to face to face and finally stops on Gina, stoic, while the only sound is the clink as she loads her gun.

But you never see the bottle actually touch his lips.

Heh. I did think that sliding the bottle over was some kind of peace offering by Jayne - it did occur to me that Simon might drink with some distaste, but as a doctor he'd know that the likely high ethanol content of the bottle would kill off anything really bad Jayne might have left behind.
