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?

I think they cut it (or never shot it) but it WAS in the original script.

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.

That was definitely made clear in the script, but in the aired/DVD episode, they made it far more ambiguous what their plan was (for dramatic purposes, I imagine)

Thanks, Shiny! That was bugging me no end.

In regards to the conversation with Tracey, it was clear in the script that they at least tried to tell him their plan, and he wouldn't let them finish. Not so much in the episode, unless you listen hard to fill in the blanks of what ISN't said.

Another part I didn't feel was clear was that in the script Simon actually did try to help Tracey when he was dying, but there wasn't anything he could do. In the scene as filmed, he pretty much only hands him a hanky.

I guess they needed to shave time so they could expand the ending, but... Oh well, I do agree with changing that, it turned out to be one of the most beautiful scenes in the whole series.

Just finished with my seventh viewings of all the DVDs. I've read all of this thread and don't think anyone has mentioned this yet.

You know how in the commentary for "Serenity" that Joss says the out-of-focus shot of Inara and her client was representative of the orgasm?

Okay, flash forward to the last episode, "Objects in Space." While River is walking through the ship and reading the thoughts on everyone's mind, she sees Wash and Zoe cuddling on the bridge. It is obvious she is feeling the emotions that they are feeling...and there is another out-of-focus shot just before she walks away in that scene.

Remember the kid whose eyes are stuck in Jaynestown? I've been rewatching Serenity and thinking that's the same kid in the scene with Book walking, where the Brutus guy is trying to get him to come on board. It's hard to tell, because the kid really makes an effort to keep his face away from the camera. Just something about him.

That in "Heart of Gold", Jayne is fixing the blond prostitute's hair.

That Wash's dinosaurs from "Serenity" are frequently found on his console.

In Serenity, Simon wears a pair of blue latex gloves in the surgery scene when he is working on Kaylee. They are common, everyday medical gloves in the Firefly 'verse. Adds to River's aversion to the Infirmary.

Watched Serenity for the 5th or 6th time the other day and I just noticed what they did to Simon's eyebrows to make him look 'sinister' during the first half of the pilot. Up through working on Kaylee they are pointed in the middle. After that they flatten out to normal, and it really takes the 'evil' edge off of his appearance.

I just noticed something new with my latest viewing of "Ariel".

During the "Brainscan" scene, watch the 3D brain image carefully. In the last few seconds before it dissolves------just as Jayne starts lying about "meeting out the back in five"------green and red colors start erupting in parts of River's brain......
