Anyone else notice in the Train Job that a woman sitting behind Zoe is wearing a burqua? It's those full body dresses that include a veil that covers the eyes. They were made prominent in 2001/2002 as they are the only things women in Afghanistan were legally allowed to wear in public. Anyway, I thought it interesting as the backstory is that the Chinese/Americans moved to the new galaxy making Buddhism and Christianity the major religions. Apparently fundamentalist Muslims also found a niche.

In possibly my most favorite Jayne-detail, in "Our Mrs Reynolds", when Kaylee's comforting Saffron, Jayne rubs Saffron's shoulder a little.
Aww...
Two details that confuse me, though, are 1) River saying "Not him" when Mal walks in after her tantrum in "Safe" and 2) River stops dancing when *Mal* sees Book is shot (and not when Book is, in fact, shot) and seconds before Simon's bagged. What's she reacting to?

in Jaynestown, when Kaylee and Simon have that discussion, that starts with Kaylee going: "we get along just fine..." see if you can spot the subliminal message. Whether it was intention or accident, I dont know. Only noticed second time round with my friends. Cue sideways glances and hysterical laughter!
I love Wash! Bring back Wash!

Has any one noticed in War Stories- in the shuttle behind Wash there appears to be a white slimline wall mounted phone. Why?

In the BDM, during the credit sequence, Mal pokes his head into the engine room to yell at Kaylee. Then he turns around and is brought up short by Simon, who has moved in behind him.
This moment is an echo of the earlier scene during River and Simon's escape, where Simon goes to the door to check whether the coast is clear, turns around, and finds that River has moved up right behind him.
Just noticed that last night, on my umpty-umpth viewing of Serenity.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Maybe someone said this already, but my absolute favourite moment is in 'The Message'. River and Book are both eating the dangly ice planets. I just automatically assumed that Book had bought them both, and that it was a really nice, sweet thing to do for River. Maybe its not really subtle but I think its great!

Well, not quite. Toilets actually showed up in at least one episode of Babylon 5, which led to a conversation about finishing technique in another episode. ("Fasten - zip, or zip - fasten?")

Just noticed: whenever you see Jayne exercising, he's doing pullups right below the grate, so to keep from hitting his head on the thing, he keeps having to glance up. If you've done pullups, you know it's actually harder to do pullups while looking up, so Jayne's actually giving himself a better workout by doing that. Neat, no?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this... I was watching Bushwacked today and at the part where Mal and Zoe are first checking out the attacked ship (part where they're wearing space suits still) They flash there flashlights into a corrider and you see...
A BALLOON!
Of all things on a reavered (lol is that a word?) ship. I'm not EXACTLY sure if it was a balloon i'm fairly sure it was because it was shaped like one and it was floating... Or maybe it was too dark! (it was red btw) Either this is a gag or maybe some kid from the occupants of the ship had it before the reavers attacked. I really doubt it though because later on in the episode the alliance officers were talking and saying the ship was 3 weeks late! There's no way a balloon could survive that long without well... dying... Unless it was a special futuristic balloon! 
Tell me if i'm wrong because it might've just been a big red ball also...

SERENITY DAY!
One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Because at that point, although the audience doesn't know it yet, River has already left the ship to go sit inside Early's.
Doooood, I can't count how many times I've watched that ep, and never noticed this.
