In the opening sequence where Simon is breaking River out something hit me during his conversation with the Doctor. At one point Simon's image freezes while the Doctor walks past him. Not as in the actor stopped moving. As in they digitally froze his image in post production; a person behind him is still moving.

My wife and I were trying to decide last night if that was done for effect or if it were done in post because they wanted to fake the walking past part.

Oh god yes. "He's our friend we should honor him."


I can remember sitting in the theater and thinking they might actually do that. I immediately got rid of the thought, because that's just awful. Imagine my surprise when Mal said that in the outtakes!


I remember someone, I'm not sure who, pointed out that at the end of the movie Book's monument is placed next to Mr. Universe's and Wash's. They asked the rather disturbing question, "How did his body get there?"

Of course the consensus seems to be that those are not grave markers, but simple monuments of remembrance.

I noticed this in the theater, but haven't seen it mentioned yet.

In the Maidenhead bar, Jayne has a large patch on his left shoulder. It's the same patch we saw when he opened the shirt of the guy he slammed head-first into the ground on Lilac ("Looks like this is the place!")

That might also explain why the regular military stripes patch he also has on his shirt in the Maidenhead is upside-down; he doesn't know any better, he's just taking trophies! I guess Mal won't let him take ears....

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

What he actually says is, "Three full mags and my swinging cod. And it's full." It's my very favorite line.

I'm sorry. I think what he says,
"Three full mags and my swinging cod. That's all."

Of course, Jayne's swinging cod could very well be a potent weapon in the right hands.

errt.
I mean.. um...

"SUMMERR!!!"

It is your right to be wrong.
We'll just have to check out the shooting script.

I hadn't noticed that River is mouthing the same words as the hologram for at least some of the message until my 5th time through the movie (2nd DVD watching).

I would like to know the conversion that mal was in when he came down the stairs to go to inara's shuttle?? he says "just let me know when we get there??" if you listen real close there is someone saying something to him, but it is not from the previous seen.



keep flying

The script is wrong from the movie in many places. joss apparently made little changes throughout, and great big whopping huge ones as in the funeral scene.

I realized that River is actually re-attaching the pulse beacon during the rewiring shot at the end of the movie.
