Gah! I can't believe I forgot that! Lol. Oh well, he still looks funny in War Stories running with Vera where he only fires with the pistol in his other hand the whole time.

He may well fire it out of our sight. It would appear to be a specialized weapon.

However, Jayne does seem to be particular about which gun he uses for which job. Take for instance 'The Message', Jayne sneaks up on Tracey with a pistol, when Mal signals Jayne to distract Tracey, He pumps a big shotgun (cause it makes a scarier noise presumably), then as he moves in he is again using the pistol.

I actually watched War Stories again just to confirm this. (Thanks for giving me an excuse to :)

Actually Jayne DOES shoot Vera in WS, although I can't be absolutely sure. After they send the mule out first, Jayne is the first person walking out of Serenity. He shoots at the guy behind the window. You can't see it clearly, even with frame advance, but it looks like the bullet flash comes from the weapon in his right hand, which is Vera.

Thanks Soundhack I'll have to check my DVD's, I would love for him to have used 'her' in that fight.

I believe River steals the bread at the end of Safe.

I believe Jane fires Vera in Our Mrs Reynolds, at the grappler device on the slavage station trying to capture Serenity. Other than that, he may fire it off-camera in War Stories.

"Now I don't think these are really pot plants, but they are sure designed to look close enough."

It's SpPot. *wink* Looks a little different.

Was there a bit in the deleted scenes for the battle of Serenity Valley where Mal asks what side God's on?
____

During River's brain scan, I did notice the sudden huge activity at the end (and the fact that it was caught on disk!), but I had no clue what set it off. Great analysis!
____

The knowledge that Early has ....

Joss is pretty clear in the commentary that Early knows the entire crew, inside-out, from listening to them, and watching them. He has a preternatural understanding of human nature, and knows exactly how to interact with each person before he encounters him or her.

This, by the way, is exactly what River does to Early ... observes him (what's on his ship), and uses her understanding of human nature to interact with him in a way that will control him. It's not about fooling him into thinking she's Serenity; it's about him thinking he's back in control when he figures it out, and then dropping his guard. She basically learns from Early how to control people, and then she does it ... better than he can. It gives me shivers. She's like a "Pretender" (the series with Jared), but with some precognitive abilities to give her even more information. Given time to interact with people, she could learn not just anything, but everything ... and do it all better than the people she learned it from.

I was watching Bushwacked last night and noticed for the first time how colour is used to add to the tension. As Mal and Zoe enter the settlers ship everything is coloured brown and green. Then you suddenly see a brightly coloured bike. As the camera follows them through the ship other brightly coloured toys can be seen. It makes the horror of what the settlers suffered all the more real.

The next time you watch War Stories you might enjoy this. At the end of the exchange between Wash and Mal (torture) you will hear Mal say "I'm gunna get me some of that" refering to.... Take a VERY close look at the next graphic on the screen. I think it is more than just suggestive, and I am very glad it got by the Blue Sun Censorship board. Let me know your thoughts,

Speed

If you look closely at right above the stampeding horses in the opening credits, you can see the top spoiler(?) of a car that is actually scaring the horses.
