Nah, he says it many times. :) Two instances that leap to mind:

Pilot:

WASH (O.S.)
We look shiny, Captain. They are not, repeat, not coming about.

Shindig:

ZOE
(...) we're gonna stay a while on Persephone

WASH
Shiny!

And many more places, I'm sure.

A spoiler to tell when you find him:

He's one of the military tyes (not good with titles) when they show the president what's really in Area 51, somewhere around there, haven't seen it in a while






Ok, I just woke up from a medication induced nap, but how's Adam's small part in Independence Day related to Wash = Harper issue ?

Help me out here.

Also, I always considered 'Harper' and Seth Green to be seperated at birth. If only for personality, mainly.

I was just throwing that out there, it has nothing to do with this thread. I wanted to say something but I have no idea who this Harper guy is, so I said this.

I think he only reactivated her. I think all Andromeda class ships have an avatar. Didn't they have an episode when they found another ship with a counter part to Rommey?

But the point was part of Harper's character is that he's a lonely heart. Wash not so much, jealous sure thing, but lonely and pining for a lover no way.

"Ship-Made-Flesh" Avatars weren't in use when Andromeda fell into the black hole (either they weren't developed yet or they'd been discontinued before being brought back). Those kinds of androids have only been sighted on ships from after the beginning of the Nietzschean Rebellion (the Balance of Judgement was a newer model ship, the ships Dylan found in the Tartarus system were trapped there after Andromeda was MIA, and the Pax Magellanic was in service for years after Rommie "disappeared").

Harper built Rommie's body, based on a set of schematics he found in "To Loose the Fateful Lightning" --the schematics were not aboard the Andromeda, which they would have been if there'd been a previous SMF android.

He probably used one of the Rommiebots (or "Marias") as a skeleton, and it's implied that Harper used Beka's DNA to create Rommie's flesh --he swiped a hair sample shortly before Rommie was activated.

And thanks for sayin', RiverFlan. :) Now I have to go watch Independence Day again for that reason alone. Hmm, 'Independence', has a familiar ring to it. :)

Well, that's something. I can't even remember all that. :) And I watched these episodes only two days before!

Ok, now this is getting real spooky. :) In one of the early episodes ("D Minus Zero") I just heard Wa.. Harper say: "Ooooo, shiny!" My hand to God! May he strike me down as I'm standing here! Seriously, this is seriously weirding me out!



And in one of the next episodes we encounter a main episode character called "Kaylee". :) I'm beginning to think Joss really saw all this.
