About Haven, they land the ship in a huge mine shaft (vent shaft whatever.) And 'cause its dark down there, they need torches...

(Havens a mining Coloney, and also going Underground best place to find it from Mr. Operative)

Does that help....

Yeah, just wish there'd a been some piece of dialog about them being underground, cuz to me it sure looks like they're outside walking around & such... But thanks for the info.

That one's easy, on TV, it was shown in fullscreen, and the DVD's are... i think? 16:9 widescreen ? something like that ?

So in shot as seen on TV, his hands are off the side of the screen, and thus you'd never notice anyhows.

16:9 widescreen... coolness

4:3 postage stamp? crap crap crap

Always hated it... thanks be Joss went with the good stuff.

I think there's one in War Stories where Mal's left ear lobe is cut, but later there is a shot which I think they flipped in the edit, where it's his right ear lobe that's been severed....

Well when they land underground it's sometime during the day (judging by the deleted scene late afternoon) they walk out of the mine shaft and then say hello to the folks of Haven. Later (after a fine meal as per the deleted scene) it's night when Mal asks Book for advice under the open sky. Does this help?

Has anyone noticed there's TWO CGI Serenity's/Firefly Class...

^ Check the First and Third pictures on the top and see if you can spot the differences.

Just wondering if anyone's noticed this, and why Zoic (the effects people on Serenity) made two?....

Here's one I still can't get, maybe someone can help.

It always bugs me when there are words or sentences that are mumbled and can't be heard, there are quite a few of them in the series.
But the one in particular is in Ariel. It doesn't help that the subtitles say can't be read or whatever. It's after our BDH have saved the day and are standing in front of the townspeople guns drawn Mal says something to Simon, it's garbled, all I can hear is "Gotta say doctor...mumblemumblemumble.." and Simon replies to him. So my question is this. What the hell does Mal say? Anyone know? Because it's driving me nuts.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

I know what line you're talking about...but I think it was in Safe.

I was just looking at a site with scripts and the line reads as:

Mal: "Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alientatin' folks is near miraculous."
Simon: "Yes, I'm very proud."

I'm not sure if that really is the line...but could be, I suppose.

I love Wash's missing controls, especially after an intense scene with such great special effects. I think they must have left that in there on purpose just to see if the viewers were paying attention, because it's just such a blatant error, how could it have been overlooked?

Very easily. I (for one) never spotted it until I watched the commentary. IIRC one of the two commentators also said they'd never noticed it until then, as well.

Alan does a convincing job of miming the action. No doubt someone had the idea of pulling him back into frame and adding the control yoke in CGI, but nobody noticed the problem in the dailies so it never got onto Zoic's list.

Really, it's not as uncommon as you might think for such issues to go unnoticed. Take a look at any movie's "Goofs" list on IMDB.
