I just re-watched The Message and figured out that Mal and crew initially thought the lawmen were after them for the Lassiter they stole in Trash. They didn't realize right away that they were coming for Tracey.

Not sure how I missed this, but in the pilot there's a shot that tells everything about Jayne. It's after River has been operated on, things are quiet while she is fighting death. You see Jayne on the catwalk looking into the infirmary, hunched over, twisted in agony, thinking his little sister is going to die.

Uh, sorry, typo there, Freudian slip maybe, I meant Kaylee.

Might as well be, they way they pronounce things.

I was just watching one of Joss's interviews from the old Firefly official site, and he mentioned that it was supposed to be cantonese and not mandarin. I think we're lucky it was mandarin, because people mispronouncing cantonese sounds even goofier in my opinion. I shudder just thinking back on Buffy Season 7 and the "cantonese-speaking" potential slayer.

Yeah, I have to admit I had the same problem. I thought it was some futuristic language that Joss came up with. Matter of fact, I would brag to people who hadn't watched the show that that was a cool thing about it. OK, I've said too much...

And I didn't put two and two together the first watching of Buffy with Firefly until now, either. Funny.

I have to agree with all the above posts plus one...

The scene in OoG when Mal is closing everything up behind him on his way to the bridge. Until I watched the commentary and heard Nathan Fillion point it out I hadn't really just sat there and enjoyed that little stretch. The scene and the music work so well together it just brings a tear to my eye when I watch it now.

Oh, and I've gotta check out that carbonite Solo before I turn in. Thanks for the point.

I just put in Ariel to watch again, and I noticed that the piece of trash Wash picks up to throw at the dump just happens to be the catalyzer from the port compression coil -- and it's in perfect condition!

Talk about your subtle insider jokes!

I just watched The Message again and I noticed for the first time that the lawman's henchman (Skunk) is the same actor who played Niska's henchman who agreed to take back his money at the end of The Train Job.

in response to Kurukami's post earlier:

"Sir, I would like to gingerly point out that it is difficult for someone to be gently reassuring when they're holding three and a half feet of sharpened steel."

I love this line; what's it from?

I can't find this; where is it?
