One of my favorite observations has to do with Morena's portrayal of flirtation. Frankly, there are times when she seems quite sexual and times when she doesn't. When I had my impromptu marathon last weekend I finally figured out what the difference was: her blinks. When Inara is in regular gal mode, there's not a lot of difference to her interactions with people. But when she's in companion mode, she blinks quite slowly and deliberately. I don't know what it is about that, but it definitely pushes my button. If any of you guys are able to see her at a convention you might ask her about it. Don't know if it was on purpose or not, but it works either way.

Gosh how it works.

Hmm.

Hi all, new here.

I have an observation. Don't know if it's been posted or not though. Apologize if it's a repeat.

In "Trash", when Jayne and Kaylee are climbing on top of the ship to reprogram the garbage bin, you see Jayne trying to put the line card (or whatever it is) back in the slot. This is before he gets shocked and knocked out.

Anybody ever notice what's on the screen beside him? It's VERY noticable if you know what you're looking at. It's a Windows 2000 desktop. You can very clearly see the Start button, the Task bar (with programs running), the default icons on the left-hand side, even the bloody task tray. The biggest thing that caught my attention was the giant InstallShield window right in the middle of the screen, taking up three-quarters of it. It's clear enough that you can almost read "Next" and "Cancel" on the buttons.

After an unprecedented merger with Coca-Cola in the year 2272, they changed their name... to Blue Sun.

In "Trash" when the shuttle lands on the floating island, you can see an SR-71 Blackbird flying by in the background.

In regards to the scene at the end of the BDM with Inara and Mal, I would have to say Inara looks her most beautiful here. She's just so vulnerable when she looks at him yet still strong. And do you notice, they don't fight! It would have to be one of the only interactions when they don't. That scene gave me such girly grins, teehee

Also love watching Jayne in the backgrounds of scenes. Adam really did a great job of bringing Jayne to life. His obsession with smelling and touching everything entertains me to no end. And the sweet touches of him watching over Kaylee and braiding the whore's hair - so sweet

In War Stories, after Wash and Zoe have left the dining room, Mal and Jayne walk towards the food on the table. Jayne backhands Mal on his recently-tortured chest and keeps moving towards the food while Mal gasps in pain, but funny pain!

The Message: Han Solo encased in carbonite quietly watching over Kaylee as she listens to the message on the ipod-thingy from the "dead" Tracey.



OH. MY. GOD.

I did not even catch that even though I've seen "The Message" a bunch of times! That is freakin' awesome!

I am a huge "Star Wars" buff, so I'm a little *chagrined* that I missed it! Thanks for pointing it out!
