I said I would and so I did. Holy crap. This is such good entertainment. What I wouldn't give to have this show back. I would stop watching any other shows if I could just see this series through to a satisfying conclusion. It must not be allowed to end this way. I really would.

In this exchange between Mal and Inara, did anyone else wonder why the writers didn't refer to 'The Mexican' from 'Trash' instead? Seems like it would have been a nice bit of continuity.

INARA
Struck out again, did you?

MAL
It's like something from a fable!
I've got a priceless artifact, the
biggest score of my unseemly career,
and no one will touch it.

INARA
The Lassiter is universally known,
Mal. Fencing it has to be like...
like fencing the Mona Lisa.

That would mostly be my fault. When I first typed in "Trash" I did so from the "Blue Revisions", which (it turns out) was not the final version. There was a final "Pink Revision" before they filmed it.

The main change from the Blue to the Pink revision was:

changing "The Mexican" to "The Lassiter."



I have recently submitted the Pink revision to Haken, so I assume that version of the script will be updated here as well when he gets the chance.

Both Haken and I have been super busy recently so some of these little errors have been falling through the cracks. Ha! That makes it sound like it is 50% Haken's fault (when it is really all mine!.. But I am happy to share the blame )

Back to lurking...

The best part is the gag video

Select to view spoiler:


Dead guy is reading his last request (recorded) and they have a dramatic go around the room shot, moving from face to face, and if your mind is wandering a bit it slowly dawns on you that the camera hasn't gone all the way around the circle once and you've seen Mal four or five times before the circle goes all the way around, around the same time you notice the happy music.

I think the effect would be partialy spoiled if you were paying attention the first time around.

This is a spoiler becuse maybe someone didn't realized there was a talking dead guy



It was really funny. Of course seeing the episde will change the fact that i thought that was the best part.
