Ya, I know there's no right side up in space. I understand what you're saying, it just doesn't explain the actual gravity of the individual people as opposed to the Alliance ship and Serenity. Is the hangar itself able to change its gravity before the officers go into Serenity, and the officers are really on the ceiling of the docking area when we see the doors open and the crew standing right side up (according to them)?
I don't conjure I have any answers to this. Apologies if I've completely misread your entry.

Oops, my computer had a brain cramp and posted this twice.

This is more on the 'oops' side, but i was watching Objects in Space the other day and saw this- when Early is on top of Serenity listening in on the conversation in the mess room, you can see him through the windows above. Well the first thing is his hand through the window- and it's ungloved!
Oops. :p

It took me a few times of watching Bushwhacked to notice that Jayne is slightly limping and when he sits in the co-pilot chair, you can see a black bandage on his leg. A souvenir from The Train Job.

If you notice, the thing they walk through to go between Serenity and the Alliance ship is a big flexible tube. Maybe it has it's own gravity thing and twists so that people can go from one field to another.
Although, if I remember correctly, the little fighter ships and the cruiser are belly to belly. That might support the planet model of gravity.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already, but I don't want to read nearly 400 responses.
The episode "Out of Gas" has an inaccurate title. If you think about it, the ship has plenty of gas. It's just a busted part of the ship that's not making it move. Although "Busted Hardware" isn't exactly a catchy title, so I'm giving it a pass.
I dunno. I'm a fan of movies and episodes that have contradictory or paradoxal titles. Like "Finding Nemo". Anyone whose read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea knows that Nemo is Latin for nobody. So that movie translates to "Finding Nobody". It's probably the most existential title in Disney's catalogue.

I think it refers to the oxygen gas, not the fuel.

Hmm, I think "oxygen gas" is a stretch -- and a far stretch, at that. Unless you're at the dentist or some such, "out of gas" really only means one thing here: to be out of fuel. "gas". in this context, is not "a substance that is neither a solid nor a liquid at ordinary temperatures with the ability to expand infinitely," like air (plural 'gasses'), but is short for gasoline: the stuff used to fuel internal-combustion engines.
Having said that, I think no literal meaning was intended either way: the title refers to neither fuel nor any gaseous compound, but, figuratively, is comparable to Book's "The end of the line" line.
