Hee! A couple years ago, some friends and I went to GenCon specifically to meet James Marsters. Planes were delayed, so he ended up showing up really late, so we had some serious time to kill after I won (!) the raffle to have dinner with him. (Ok, one of 6 winners. And I didn't buy $400 worth of tickets like that one woman...)

Anyway, one of my friends starts talking, as he's in the habit of doing. "Y'know, it's too bad Joss isn't here, instead of, or in addition to JM. Then we could grab him, tie him up, toss him in the trunk, take him home, and make him tell us stories for an hour a week. Wait...what would be the point to that?"

It took me two viewings of the series in the DVD order to realize that Kaylee mentioned to Mal on two occasions (in 2 separate episodes I think) that they need a new thingamajig (compression catalyzer? something like that)--the very thing that broke in Out of Gas. I thought it was very cool, provides a bit of continuity/foreshadowing.

The other thing that I couldnt make out until I listened to the commentary was in OiS, when River says 'Don't make faces' to Mal. That adds an added doubt to the viewer that maybe River indeed was part of the ship, who could see what Mal was doing. (How did she do that though?)

This may seem simple, but it took me like 3 times to notice this.
Mal says many times he does not want God on the ship, etc. In the beginning of the first episode, he kisses a cross that is around his neck, as if he knows god is on his side, just before they are left on the planet and basically lose the war.

That the voice that really wakes River up in the very beginning of Objects in Space is Jubal Early's.

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!

If you check out this link:

you will see Kozure's attempt to recreate the Alliance flag. Looks dead on to me, and your interpretation of the yellow stars is as good as any.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

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.

What? There are marijuana plants in Inara's shuttle?!
Or are you just talking about potted plants?

I haven't watched all of the commentaries, is that where it's mentioned?

OK,

Joss makes the stoned joke at the very beginning of the Serenity comentary.

The plants are in the HoG house there is one potted plant in the gun fight scene and there is another few (I think) outside. I know there is one in the house near a window for sure. Now I don't think these are really pot plants, but they are sure designed to look close enough.

Ok, I'm confused...

Maybe one of y'all can help me out. In "The Message" script, there's a reference to a package that Inara palms and hides away. One of the threads on this board says that it's actually in the episode when Kaylee and Inara come up to the post kiosk, but I've slo-mo'd through that sequence ten times and I don't see it.

I need a road map ... or did they cut it out?

Jen dao mei.

Two things i missed was:

1. in the message book and mal are talking about the plan for book to talk to walmack and not give up tracey when he walks in.

2. I didnt realize that in the message when jayne gets his package he does waht he does to almost everything he gets in the series: he touches, shakes then smells the box

took me a couple of viewings to catch that myself. When I finally did it was like "HOLY SHIT", because all of a sudden everything made sense.
