Something that I learned:
When Kaylee says, "No power in the 'verse' can stop me!" it's cute.
When River says, "No power in the 'verse' can stop me!" it's scary!

Been lurking for a few weeks, first time poster. Seemed like a fun thread to contribute to:
01. If someone as cheerful as Kaylee says "I love my captain", he's probably a decent guy.
02. The word "palaver" is pronounced pa-LAV-er. (Jane Espenson commentary)
03. Reckless ranting can hurt a good-hearted girl's feelings.
4a. 7% is a bit low to pay your crew.
4b. If your crew consists of a trigger happy mercenary, give him is own bunk.
4c. Private bunk for said mercenary can especially come handy when he sees two women folk starting to get touchy.
05. When you're about to pass out after kissing someone, your last words must be "Son of a..."
06. A man's just a boy who's old enough to ask "Am I supposed to be a 'man' now?"
07. Combining the painkiller "Alprazaline" with "Droxine" is just like administering a vasoconstrictor, but I'm going to forget that right after I type it.
08. Unless you're okay with being naked yourself, don't remind enemies that you've seen them naked.
09. Don't be so afraid of losing something as to not have it.
10. Be honest to your siblings. If you need your sister to come out because "the nice man wants to kidnap you", go ahead and voice it.

Prairie harpies make fantastic mechanics.
Kaylee is many things, but "harpy" ain't one of them!

Feel the flow...its circular, like the ball that just wants to go home. Either way, here's ten more per episode, courtesy of manwithpez, the world's most passive agressive Browncoat.
The top ten things I learned from watching "The Train Job":
1. Malcolm Reynolds = Big Baby. Inara slaps him across the face once, and he bitches about it the rest of the episode. He didn't complain this much when Niska had his ear cut off. Big baby...
2. Lurking in doorways to say boo speaks to a lack of upbringing. Further evidence that Crow is an impolite ruffian: Knife throwing and death threats.
3. Exposition in a 45 minute episode to make up for the 88 minute one the network wouldn't show? Doesn't necessarily add up to a bad episode.
4. All it takes to change a good day into a bad one is one Alliance soldier who desperately feels a need to walk into the cargo car.
5. Apparently, the only form of entertainment on planet Georgia is a parade when the medicine to treat a debilitating disease shows up on the train.
6. Let's see...Sherriff can intuit where the Captain is going to start on foot taking the medicine back? Whatever they pay that guy...it isn't enough.
7. One of the many fun games on Serenity: How's About You Shut That Crazy Mouth! From Mattel!!!
8. Should Simon not be comfortable with you in charge of the ship, the consequences can be dire...and funny!
9. Unconscious Jayne = Great Ottoman! A pilot with Wash's skills should have somewhere to put his feet up.
10. Object lessons such as shoving Crow through a moving engine work great with Niska's henchmen. Best thing for everybody, really.
See you all in the Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching Bushwhacked (coming soon!)
Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

The Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "Bushwhacked":
(And, yes, I'm aware of the irony of posting a ton of new material to a thread entitled Top Ten...its not lost on me...or is it )
1. Given some of Wash's comments about hairy women in the outtakes, did anyone else think that the title might have referred to something else?
2. Reason #1,246,731 that Firefly should not have been cancelled: The best looking cast to ever appear on TV getting sweaty in some kind of sporting event! Damn you to Hades, Fox!
3. Of all the occupations you can have 500 years in the future..."Human Space Speed Bump", not my favorite.
4. Jayne's idea of compassion and mercy in dealing with a derelict ship ie "Say a prayer as we slip on by" is kinda nice...What's that? There might be a salvage over there? Shit! We better get over there and look for survivors...People might be hurt, for God's sake!
5. So, Shepherd Book...you look pretty happy that there was a survivor and Serenity helped save him...Not so fast, Bible Boy!
6. You know...for an Alliance Cruiser to be so ruttin' big, they sure can be sneaky sometimes!
7. According to Alliance brass, a tourguide with his hands cuffed in front of him is perfectly able to defend himself. Even against Pseudo Reavers! Damn shame that armed Alliance guards can't do the same.
8. "Let's do it again!" "Maybe later" Damn, River...you just got the patented "I said maybe, but I really mean no" shutdown! Apparently, it applies to spacewalks too.
9. Where do I get my "I ate an entire Alliance Soldier, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt and a face full of metal" T-Shirt?
10. Alright, all you geeks out there...Who got hot when Kaylee was doing her "Gurstlers...crammed" technobabble speech? Yeah...okay...I was the only one...riiiiight...
See you all for Shindig! Coming sooner, rather than later...I hope...

I did! And you'll find out who else in "Shindig!"

The Next Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "Shindig":
1. Interrogating a buffet table that looks like a Persephonean Lord might make you sick.
2. A Dozen slaves a dozen days and the space of a school boy's wink? Daaaaamn...That old guy just housed that beyotch! You go, old guy! Show that chick that it doesn't pay to mess with the mechanic.
3. Good time management is important. I wonder if Atherton went on and got that haircut after the duel?
4. Just because you're carrying something heavy...No excuse to say something mean. All the women will just dislike you for that.
5. Sit down vs. Piss off? Hmmmm...I'm going to have to go with the latter.
6. There has to be a better way of saying "I'm sorry that I didn't go through with our prior deal" than serving wood alcohol to your guests. There just has to be.
7. Stuck for a vocabulary word...I don't know...something like...say "Pretentious". Then I'd like to introduce Jayne: The See n Say of the mercenary set!
8. Line dancing is still around 500 years in the future? Damn it!
9. I say whore...no problem. You say whore, and I'm going to clean your clock. And, those are the only rules I'm sticking with!
10. Turns out, I'm just an alright man. Now, go and get yourself stitched up! Courtesy of a merciful alright man!
More to come!

The Next Top Ten Things I Learned From Watching "Safe":
1. Interfere in the captain's business, and horrible, horrible things are going to happen. Simon smarts off about cunningly concealed cows, Book just HAS to offer his opinion, and neither of them fared too well, as I recall.
2. Best shot in the land? Jayne you say? I beg to differ...Just how far away was Zoe when the shooting started?
3. Jiangyin Prairie Paradise? Seems like a perfectably serviceable gift to me. Sometimes we should pause before we speak...right Simon?
4. Almost everytime Mal listens to what Inara has to say, it leads to trouble in some form. Here, they end up on an Alliance cruiser...Maybe she should just sit down and be pretty. Or not. Either way works for me.
5. Sure Simon stuck his foot in his mouth with Kaylee...Again...So what? Inara can't provide some wingman action. She could see he was trying to play pretty. Vindictive, vindictive Kaylee...tsk
6. Captain Harbotken? 500 years in the future, and the making of aliases still doesn't seem to be coming along...What's wrong with Captain Ben Dover?
7. Let's see...Shepherd Book has an ID Card that gets him free health care, no questions asked. I knew he was Canadian!
8. I love my siblings. Very much. Not so much that I'm going to end ManWithPez-Kabob, though.
9. It's very easy to punctuate your statements to make them more important when you're skinning a rabbit.
10. I have two children. If one of them comes to me and says that the other one is in trouble after going away to school two years prior...I'm going to look into it. Not curse at my son for causing trouble. What the hell is up with Gabriel Tam, anyways?
See you for more, later...

My favorite of all those posted above:
