I imagine that the basketball-type game stirred the athletes: The dinosaur battle sent the paleo-geeks into a frenzy: Kaylee's floral motifs bring out the Martha Stewart crowd.
I've been studying belly dance for several years and thoroughly enjoyed the 25 seconds of belly dance in "Train Job".
What interest, hobby or other geek-centric activity shown on the show made you sit up and say, "Neato Burrito".

I'd have to say living on a space ship sounds pretty appealing to me.

Hmmmm. . .so many things really appealed to me.
I loved watching them play ball in the cargo bay. . .it looked like a cross between Basketball and the game "triad" that was played in the original Battlestar Galactica. I never saw the new miniseries because I'm here in the 'Stan.
I was very intrigued by the card game, I wish I could have seen more to try to figure out a rule or two. . .it seemed to be very much like 'hearts' or 'spades'. . .and it was so nice to see Simon bonding as 'one of the guys'.
I also ALWAYS ALWAYS loved seeing that Book and Jayne would work out together. . .the MOST unlikely 'buddy' combination in the whole crew, but there they are. . .and you KNOW they're really good buddies. That's also made evident in "Objects", by the conversation they're having. Notice that Book is just a little more 'frank' with Jayne. . .a little less 'aloof and priestly'?
I was impressed with the scene of Mal cleaning his guns at the table. . .it shows that Joss and Tim don't take certain things for granted, like the fact that frequently used firearms require maintenance. Good to see that Mal is still a soldier in that respect. We may sometimes forget to brush our teeth, but NEVER forget to clean our weapon.

First off: Good luck, keep your head down, stay safe.
I spent 10 years in the Air Force and I always enjoy the "givens" of military life in "Firefly".
Gina Torres is wonderful and her automatic "Captain" to Mal is a sign of respect - not the affectation so many actors put into military roles or speak. She says it like she means it.
I did enjoy that weight lifting scene with Jayne and Book.
*sigh* I miss the show terribly.

Okay, uh...call me a fool, but what exactly is "the 'stan"? Pakistan? Afganistan? Uzbeckistan?

Can you use 'companion' as a verb? Cuz that would get my vote. I mean, the Calvinball in "Bushwacked" was fun and everything, but which one would you rather be doing right now?

I like when they're paying cards in Shindig. And the Calvinball. Hoo-ray for Calvinball!
I'm a paleo-geek! Three cheers! (Hears crickets in the background) Bound to happen.
I also noticed something. Evryone refers to the meat-eater as a T. rex, but it's more appropriatly an Allosaurus. It has three fingers.

Though I show no interest, I love it when River's dancing in Safe. Just so wonderful.

I'm not sure if I'd like to be 'companioning' (too much fru-farrah, as Zoe would say), although I wouldn't mind being a 'companion-ee'

Good. Thanks for the update.

Huzzah! Paleo-geek here, too!! I'm also sort of an... Ethno-geek, I guess. I love the blending of Chinese and American cultures, and for some reason I really love the bit in Jaynestown when Simon goes off about how mudder's milk is like the liquid bread the Egyptians used to drink.
I play the viola (like the violin, only bigger) and I sing, so I loooooove the music. The piece at the end of The Message really got me, really deeply moved me in a way I've never had happen with a TV show.
