What is the reason for this "time stops"? First I thought that the DVD might be censored or damaged but that's not the case. Any ideas? Are they used to indicate a "timeless" feeling of some sort? (I bet this has been discussed before)
EDIT: It's in the Serenity pilot

If you listen to Joss' commentary for that ep you will hear him say it was just him trying to be "artsy fartsy." He uses a similar technique in "Heart of Gold" in a scene with Mal and Nandi.

I'd forgotten that. Thanks. At first I just thought the DVD was skipping, and that would've made me very sad.

IIRC a similar technique is used in the sex scene between Inara and the unnamed client early in the Serenity pilot.

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

I thought it was because Joss is a guy and thought still frames of nekkid Inara were hot.

Well, then I have a few words for him: Hold that gorram camera lower next time!
(you see, I am a guy as well 
)EDIT: Just kidding. Still, the freeze frame looks like a DVD hickup.

Inara has a device that manipulates time. It's the hourglass you see when she is with her first client. The client in fact refers to it when he is leaving. The camera also focuses on it just before Book enters her shuttle at the end of the bathing scene.
