In Bushwacked, when Serenity docks with the other ship you see an external shot with the trap grabbing Serenity's belly. Then later, when Mal is checking for the trap, the same footage is shown on their display in the cockpit. Even if Serenity had camaras on it's hull it couldn't get that shot. It'll bug you every time you see it, garentied.

Just found it.. very small.. for some reason I was looking for a big thing.

Good catch

Yeah, me too when I first got to lookin' for it. Don't know why I was expecting to see the full size deal.

Awesome catch. Damn, Zam'. You've got eyes like an eagle. That or an unhealthy obsession of Star Wars. But don't worry, I've got one of Firefly. Glad we're on the same side.

Well, actually my "obsession is with FireFly rather than Star Wars. A friend of mine I converted pointed me to it. It's a great little gag.

I think that the makers of FF are not taking themselves so seriously and putting in little jokes like that makes this show better then most others.

It's also funny details like this that makes me love "The Simpsons" so much.

I noticed in The Message that Mal's got a little bag he's carrying spare ammo in, but I didn't notice til recently that that same bag is hanging on the wall in his room. I think I saw it in Serenity, or maybe it's above his head when he wakes up in Our Mrs. Reynolds.

In Out of Gas, when Mal first wakes up, I suddenly heard Inara saying something about, "It's alot of blood", and Jayne says, "He's seen blood before." (or Jayne speaks first. It's very late) If you read the transcript, they're having a whole conversation where Inara thinks they should clean up Mal's blood that's all over the ship so he doesn't have to see it. There's also a Wash/Zoe conversation going on in the background about him getting birthday cake off the floor so she can have a piece.

Also, you can see Wash's dinos at various times on the bridge, just at the bottom or the edge of the frame, and when the Feds are ransacking his & Zoe's room, looking for River & Simon.

I've been putting FF on in the background while doing net stuff recently, and upon a rewatch of 'Ariel' I happened to glance up and really watch as Simon is studying River's brain readout. I can't believe that I /never/ noticed this:

As soon as Jayne tells Simon that the plans have changed, we see a shot of River and her readout - and all of a sudden it starts to light up, signalling, I assume, intense activity in just about every section of River's brain.

Seconds later, she starts screaming, Jayne covers her mouth, and Simon pops the disk out - and then River starts babbling 'nonsense' about the hands of blue blokes.

Which means that Simon has a record of River's brain activity when she's precoging - it's right there at the end of that disk. He just has to find it.

Curse Fox for never letting us get there!

Actually, I believe he does notice the odd brain pattern, at the beginning of War Stories. He just doesn't have a clue what it means, or what sets her off. She keys in on strong emotion for sure.

In TTJ and BW you see the Alliance flag on crates they took. The flag is blue on one half with red and white stripes on the other (thirteen in fact), in the center is a red rectangle with two large yellow stars on one side and four smaller ones on the other side. This is obviously a combination of American and Chinese flags, although todays Chinese flag has only one large yellow star with the four smaller ones. I guess the Alliance flag could represent a binary system with four core planets, or not. Guess I'll just have to corner Joss and torture the info from him.

It's a nothing part til you don't got one, then you have to go to ebay.....aaaaagh!

I missed the fact that during the war scenes, Mal is not wearing his brown leather coat, just the lighter tan fabric one like all the other soldiers. Maybe he really DID get it on sale.

Jen dao mei.

I missed the indian in the wheelchair and the actual dogs in the cages in Serenity.

I missed the hookas in Inara's shuttle.

I saw the hookas in HoG, but missed the pot plants.

Brings a little more light to Joss' joke about being too stoned in the Serenity comentary.

I missed the patch/sewing to Mal's coat in TTJ where he was shot in Serenity.
