In Jaynsetown, when Simon is acting as the buyer the foreman mudder slaps him on the back and leaves a muddy handprint there. However, when we see the group from behind walking up to Jayne's statue we see that the muddy hand print is gone.

Also, IMHO, Jayne calling River a "genius mind reader" in "The Message" is reasonable since it is common knowledge that she is a genius and even Jayne has figured out by now that she is intuative.

Not exactly a blooper, but laughable:

Before the DVDs came out, one of my fave, most-remembered scenes was Shindig, Mal just stabbing Atherton for the sheer malice of it. But watching it on DVD a couple times, I eventually noticed that where they show Mal stabbing him ... two or three times ... it's SO obvious the blade isn't even breaking the fabric of Atherton's clothing. I don't need to see a lot of blood in my TV (though I HATE when people get stabbed/slashed and the blade comes out totally clean), but if you're gonna do a closeup of someone getting stabbed, rig the freakin' effect right ...

(or would this be the third time I've posted today and turned out to have remembered wrongly?)

"Bang."

The the blooper is in "Objects in Space" when Jayne appears so surprised "you mean she really reads minds?!?! I don't like the idea of people knowin' what I'm thinking!"

I'm not sure if this counts as a full on blooper, but... in The Train Job, right at the end when Simon is stitching up Mal's shoulder. Mal lets out a little yell and if you watch Sean's face closely you can see him start to laugh, then kind of clear his throught to cover it up. Kind of a cute little moment.

Instead of the engines being wrong, perhaps you simply do not understand all that they are capable of.

Normaly I am very cautious about jumping to conclusions like this, however there would be no need to have fans on the front of the engines if they did not need an atmosphere to operate in. Also, I believe that in one of the comentaries, as Serenity leaves the atmo Joss says the engines stop because they don't work in space, I'm gonna watch the commentaries for serenity/train job now and I'll let you know if its in those two. Im not a nit picky person I just think its intresting :)

[::EDIT::] In serenity on the second to last chapter, When Serenity leaves atmo the engines choke and cut out, and Joss says, and the engines turn/go (sorry not quite sure) because its space.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Although it works in the scene too (Simon trying not to laugh at the big tough captain wincing at a little stich), I agree that it was really Sean trying not to crack up at Nathan's comedic yelp (as opposed to a 'barbaric yawp')

Good. Thanks for the update.

Ha! I just got the DVD set today and watched Out of Gas. Couldn't help but notice the cables appear and dissapear after having read your post, and it made me laugh.

Just catching up on this. I don't think it's an error at all: the engines have fans because they -can- work in atmo. It's entirely reasonable that they'd work differently in atmo vs. in space, because different things are more efficient in thick air vs. an empty vacuum.

Also, Joss says, "And then the engines cut off, because it's space." Not because they don't work in space, but because there's no friction to slow you down in space, so you get going in the direction you want, at the speed you want, then shut everything down and let inertia do the rest, until you feel a need to change speed or direction.

Another blooper of sorts in Out of Gas - Mal's pants never get bloody even though he's losing a lot of blood. The costume/props people missed that little detail.

Pointed by Joss in the commentary:
In "Serenity", at the end, we see that Wash isn't holding his "joystick" or the thing to control the ship! They didn't see it in post, so they put it in the episode.
