I watched Shindig with commentary and the costume-designer-whose-name-I-forget said that Kaylee's hoops under her skirt were from the King & I, and that Mal's suspenders are WWII, and I thought that was pretty neato swell. And it also partially explains why I like those suspenders so much...heh. It does not, however, explain why I love the boots.

I know it seems obvious, but I just like the costumes. Crew,supporting cast, extras, everything. They can get pretty detailed, and they do what clothes are supposed to do, i.e.,express some personality/mental aspect of the person wearing them. Although I do occasionally wonder where in hell's name Simon got the clothing for River -- maybe he just went to Salvation Army and grabbed the first things he saw? They do tend to fit River's state of mind now, but I can't really see the clothes she wears being stuff he brought from home.

I always assumed that River's clothes were flung together from the stuff that the other women had on board.

The card game was good.
I think it may be a mixture of cards and marjong.

I havn't played marjong in many years but the "plum" flow card rang a bell.

I would have to say the duel in Shindig. I used to Fence and it was great to see them use actual techniques, well at least Atherton did. And yeah for some one mentioning Calvinball ( I never thought I would see that word out side the comic!

God created Mudder's Milk so the Independence wouldn't take over the 'verse.

one word....HORSESHOES !

My dad played often when I was little...always intrigued me...He's gone now but I loved seeing the crew play regular games

Also, about the card game, Jane E said she had to make up a legit game with rules and such for Adam, Ron and Sean because they wanted a real game to play...Maybe she'll share it with us browncoats...

Haven't you killed me enough for one day ?

The 'Stan...that would be Afghanistan, presumably. I was there with the original group of Marines and SEALs that took over Kandahar Airport. Keep your head down.

The one thing I really liked was Kaylee chasing river all over the ship for the apple in the beginning of War Stories (least, I think that was the ep). It's just nice to see how playful they can be when they're not "deep in the rough and tumble."

P.S. Honestly though, just livin' on a ship would do it for me.

I'd have to go with Horseshoes. Didn't expect that, and yet it was something of a comfort.

Anytime the crew sat down together for a meal, or a snack or anything. Those were the warmest moments of all.

Ah Afghanistan - that makes sense. I wasn't thinking in terms of military deployment; I assumed he was referring to his home country, and I didn't figure many Afghans for Firefly-fans.

My favorite activity was ... I guess what they were all doing at the end of OiS, spare Simon and his medics. Kaylee and River playing marbles, Jayne and Book working out as they talked...Early floating through space awaiting his inevitable asphyxiation...
