One exchange I didn't notice until a few viewings occurred in OiS...
Jayne to Wash: "You wanna go little man?"
Wash: "Only if it's someplace with candlelight."

Wash and his magic three switches I didn't notice that until I listened to the commentary for "War Stories".

Kaylee showing off her tight little bum in "Out of Gas"

In "Ariel", when Jayne is waiting to rendezvous with the guy with the stolen hospital uniforms, it so happens that they are crossing paths in front of one of those Telefonix kiosks, where Jayne originally called the Alliance agent. I didn't notice that until about the fifth viewing.

They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....

Oh yeah, you, FOX TV!!

Something I didn't notice until my latest (10th?) viewing:

At the end of "Jaynestown", when they're walking back onto the ship just before Wash fires it up, Jayne's hands are completely covered in blood.

Underlying themes that span the episode touching on each character’s separate interaction with one another, for example: Jaynestown and Faith

Book and River: discuss faith as it applies to religion and the altruistic belief in something larger than oneself regardless of whether it makes sense or not. Faith is in the fact that it doesn’t make sense, and your willingness to accept it at face value is the true measure of your devotion. “You don’t fix faith River, it fixes you”

Inara and Fess (Magistrate’s son): discuss faith as it applies to the faith of oneself being the catalyst that propels us not only into maturity but the ability to do what we once thought impossible. Fess’s final act is to have the faith and belief in himself to stand up to his father. “You wanted to make a man out of me, Dad. I guess it worked.”

Jayne and the town: discuss faith as it applies to the need to believe in something to make it through the daily grind, to have purpose. The mudders made him a folk hero to believe that someone is looking out for them. Jayne does not understand why even after finding out what really happened, the town still revered him and will probably resurrect the statue he attempted to destroy. “Ain't about you, Jayne. It’s about what they need.”

Oh and that candlelight thing in OIS, that was great!

In Our Mrs Reynolds when Saffron starts crying because of Mal and Kaylee tries to comfort her, Jayne's big mitt enters the shot and pats Saffron's shoulder tentatively. My hubby and I burst into laughter at that one and had to rewind. It was soooo Jayne!

The fact that everything River says is either a portent to things to come, past information she shouldn't have anyway of knowing, or people's thoughts as they are happening. There is a dual meaning to everything she says, I just love disecting it. Seriously, the first time I watched it on TV, I am embarrassed to admit that I just thought she was crazy.

I have to say I didn't notice the shadow puppet story of "earth that was" going on in Heart of Gold. But, I had downloaded the eppy (since it was never shown on tv), and it was a crappy copy with lots o' background noise.

There's a wonderful little reaction shot from Zoe when Jayne adds his money to the pot to go "buy" Mal and Wash in War Stories. I didn't notice it till I watched the episode for about the 10th time.

I also missed all the Blue Sun stuff until I listened to the commentary for Serenity.

I'd have to say that I really didn't notice how tactile Jayne was until someone mentioned it in one of the threads and then I was seeing it left right and centre. Also the Blue Sun logo, I noticed it from the very first, but it wasn't until later when I knew what it really was that I started seeing it EVERYWHERE. So yeah, I know they've already been mentioned, but those are mine.

I didn't notice River stealing bread from Jayne's plate until recently. . .actually until Mahealani pointed it out. . .

It took forever to connect River attacking Jayne with the whole Blue Sun thing. . .

I didn't notice until about the third time all the way through that the badge the Sherrif wears in TTJ, is identical to the badges worn by the lawmen in "Safe" and identical to the badge flashed by the Marshall in "The Message". . .

I didn't notice how completely choked up I get every time I hear the opening guitar riff to "The Ballad of Serenity" until I was curled up on the couch with Mahealani a few weeks ago and as we were watching, when the song came on, she reached back and caressed my hair, which is what she ALWAYS does when I'm visibly choked up and she wants to console/comfort me.
