Its all your fault Mal!!! :P

Actually I think she was asking him for a new compression coil, but your point is still correct because the catalyzer is the part of the compression coil that blew.

And you'll note, when Mal told Kaylee (at the opening of "Serenity," the film) that she'd told him last week that the catalyzer would hold that long, she responds saying, "That was 6 months ago, cap'n." And, it's well known that the timeline between the end of the TV series & the beginning of the BDM was between 5 & 6 months.

Here they were actually discussing the "entry coupling".

On a different note, the series-to-movie timeline inconsistancies damage my calm. They can probably be wanked out, but never quite to my satisfaction...

I found something on Mr. Universe's underground secret transmitter platform, when Mal and the Operative are fighting.

After Mal gets stabbed, they cut away to the crew and when the film returns to Mal he falls to the plexiglass floor.

This looks just like the beginning sequence from 'Out of Gas'. It has the same perspective, same orientation and the same thud factor! I think it had to be deliberate (maybe just the cinematographer, and not even Joss). Joss didn't mention it in the commentary.

What think you?

During Mal's "Big Speech" there is a book laying on Jayne's gun in front of him. Book's Bible? Thats's my thinking.

Ah-HAH! Thanks for that; now that you have put those syllables back into my frontal lobes, I recall that your memory is better than mine. I fear mine was based solely on 9 theatrical viewings, which HAVE been, well... a few months, as it were. Sad... because it would have made such a nifty little s-t-m timeline... thing... a lovely fluid sorta continuity


Give me series-to-movie continuity "or your friends will think you're a stupid, inbred stack of meat."
