One thing I noticed a couple of times is the size of Serenity seems too large, notably in the teaser in TTJ (in the far shot), though I haven't analyzed that one too closely. The one I really noticed though was in "The Message" when the police ship is parked next to Serenity. Serenity seems to completely dwarf the police ship, like that ship would have only taken up half the cargo bay, and it definitely seemed larger than that before. Plus Wash seemed to imply that the police ship was larger than Serenity when Mal asks why they couldn't just come down and look for them. Has this struck anybody else? I really like all the effects work in general, but this just seemed weird.

Here's a glitch: look carefully at the opening sequence of Out of Gas, watch the stars near serenity -- especially to the lower left. You will notice that some of the stars move with serenity, while others are stationary -- looks like a sloppy cut and paste job. ;)

Good. Thanks for the update.

Actually, that stuff is not stars, but bits of debris which were blown out of the cargo bay when Mal snuffed the fire. Since Serenity had stopped accellerating, it was still moving with the ship. So, this is pretty much the opposite of a blooper; a subtle bit of continuity which shows admirable (though, as we've seen not infallible) attention to detail.

I just saw this: In Jaynestown they land Serenity near the mud pits and there is no one there. After they get out and walk over to the mud pits, there are suddenly dozens of people.

The best part is, Serenity is gone! I think Zoe must have taken off with it.

in "War Stories" after Zoe comes and gets Wash back and they cut off Mal's left ear. They show Zoe and Wash walking out of the room, then back to Mal. In that screen his right ear is cut off, not his left ear.

I think you're fooled by the camera angle, it's his left ear all the time.

Actually, I think there is one shot where the whole image is reversed accidentally (the buttons on Mal's shirt are on the wrong side too)

That's not a blooper. Wash just knew he was gonna fly some rough atmo so he got himself some dino toys with magnets in the little feet. I mean who wants to pick up all those toys every time they go for a landing?

Hey, Shiny. . .your 'purple elephants' line. . .where does that one come from?

"Wash. . .we got some local color happening. A grand entrance would not go amiss."
