Also note Nathan's commentary on his sporadic use of underwear and the outtake where he actually says, "You know I don't wear underwear. I mean..."

Gives an extra something to the pants splitting stories.

So what you're saying is, that scene in Trash came as no big revelation to anybody in the cast or crew... right?

Ester: the colloquial expression I think you are searching for here is "tight ass". This is a rather vulgar comment on some one being rather prim and proper...certainly not our dear Captain!

Ah, MMMKAREN, that might be it, thanks!


Love my captain!

When I heard Kaylee say that, I kept saying, "YAR! Capt. Tightpants!"

You really think its vulgar? I mean considering what some of the Chinese translates into...Tight Ass seems kinda tame.

Also, Finding Serenity is an EXCELLENT read. I highly recommend it.

Well, here I am.

It may have been to wardrobe! In the commentary for the pilot, Nathan jokingly blames the wardrobe personel for sewing his pants too tight and creating the splitting as a result, and Joss joked back that they [wardrobe folks] obviously hadn't realised that Nathan was slated to be naked later in the season [Trash].

Yeah, someone mentions 'naked' in conjunction with Nathan and I'm all ears.

For society in general, it does come down on the side of vulgar. Think of vulgar as something you wouldn't say to Sister Mary Ruler if you were in a Catholic school. (Go watch the original Blues Brothers movie if you're confused by this.)

It's been a long time, but I do remember. I guess some of us live closer to the Rim and we're a mite less particular about our verbage. Don't mean no offense.

Well, here I am.
