We all know Kaylee's famous "Ooooo, synchronizers!" line, right? (Ariel, where she holds that synchronizer in front of her). What I didn't notice until today is that she actually uses that synchronizer for the ambulance! Makes sense that she would, of course; it's just that I only noticed it now. :)

Also, not sure if it's subtle, it's more of a debunk.
In Ariel, in the one scene we see Jayne getting cuffed, and in the other, right thereafter, as he tries to escape and is shot with one of them gorram high-tech Alliance crap shock-guns, all of his sudden his hands are free! I've seen this mentioned before as a minor continuity error. But if you look and listen closely, you'll hear only the sound of one cuff closing (around his left wrist, which we also see getting cuffed); and a still-frame viewer shows that, in fact, the cuffs are still dangling on his left wrist when he falls to the ground!

Jaynestown makes a strong statement about faith and believing in something. On the one side, Book and River fight over the bible while on the other side the mudders put all their hopes in Jayne. The interesting thing here is that Jayne is somewhat of a symbol for the bible. You put your trust in him alone, you get disappointed cause he won't save you. But if you treasure him and his qualities, he is helpful and will get you out of trouble. Just don't misread him and his intentions, or nothing good will come from it. (like the bible)

Daaaaaaannnng. I missed that.
This must be why the "Jesus Christ" character is Jayne Cobb, being the only BDH with the initials J.C. Gotta think on that a bit.

Good thinking! Maybe there's more to him than just witty remarks...

I noticed this the first time, and every time I see it again I am a little disappointed. Not in the show, by any means, but disappointed for the characters. When I first saw it, I assumed it was just some random part she was getting excited about, that it didn't pertain to the current mission, but would be a back-up part she could use on Serenity, which we all know they desperately need. Later, when she uses it on the ambulance, I felt bad that Kaylee didn't get to find anything fun or useful for Serenity on her outing (at least not that we got to see).

I had always assumed that most of what they got for the ambulance craft would then be transferred for use on Serenity - they didn't keep the ambulance, they would have likely stripped it (maybe sold back to the junk yard). Never thought they would just waste it on one use.

Yeah, I guess it never dawned on me that they actually got away with the ambulance. I was always so amazed they made it back alive, and then transitioning to the scene with Mal and Jayne, I never gave it much thought.

Point of interest, it's Wash who actually finds what looks suspiciously like a catalyzer! (the part he gleefully tosses at that other piece of luh-suh craft). Now, that's a part Serenity would REALLY come to need.

No. Wash found that in Ariel.
The catalyzer was needed in Out of Gas, a few episodes before. Of course, Wash didn't know what it was.
