But they just landed in a brushy clearing, I didn`t see any landing pad. It seemed like a software do-hickey to me.

Could be something beamed down from orbit, even, 'specially as the magistrate lives on a moon. I think. I have to watch the epsiode again (oh WOE ). There is obviously some form of gravity-generating technology (see other thread) and perhaps it can be focused to pin a ship in place. That could be handy. *ponders modern-day applications*

Interesting worldview River has there. For her, the Bible wasn't a book made out of paper--it was a symbol. She saw it the way Shepherd does, only more concretely. Now I really want to know what they did to her, and what they were trying to achieve.

Inside every cynic there's an idealist desperately yearning to be let out, and when they are let out they're usually a real pain and cause all sorts of trouble. --Chris Boucher

Another item of note was Stitch's shotgun. Did anyone else notice the strange sound it made when reloading? I think this is possibly a lead for our speculations on the tech level of their firearms. Similar, but not exact?

Someone speculated that they though it might be Adam Baldwin playing Stitch too. There was no listing in the credits for Stitch, so you may be right.

Just my dos pesos,

If I'm not mistaken, I think Neoolong was talking about the mud for the statue, not for the Landlock. I'd have to agree with him on that one.

I like your idea of the electromagnet for the landlock, but would that have any effect on electronics too? I'm not a big science whiz or anything, by a long shot.

Yeah, I was referring to the statue. I guess I should have been more specific.

I figure the landlock was probably something like a futuristic boot. I don't think that it was an entirely physical object like a boot or else they probably would have noticed it before trying to take off.

ANd the expression on Jaynes face, as he ripped the tape off, was priceless. Nice acting job on Adam's part.

Mmmm... Me too, honey.

River's fixing the Bible. Okay, hee. That just cracked me up. And another reason I wish they ran these in order. I don't know enough about River to really come to a conclusion about her, and everything I'd seen so far kind of annoys me. Yet I loved her this episode.

Another me, too. Dammit! When she's not mumbling and screaming she's actually kind of cute.

Aw, Simon and Kaylee sleeping on each other. Which quickly turned into "What do you mean, not with me?"

Well, you know what I think, but in the interest of not starting another war I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Quote:

So Fess and Inara are lying in bed, and there's something about the expression on his face that makes me want to see him roll over and say "Yeah. You know what? I think I'm gay."

Don't tempt me like this!

Quote:

Aw. Jayne. I feel bad for him, and I like how they don't resolve anything, really, with him about this. It just doesn't make sense to him. No jokes, just doesn't make sense.

I liked this too. Too many shows think we'll buy a jerky character like Jayne just changing completely after one little encounter like this. When the show began I felt like we should start taking bets on how long until Jayne nobly sacrificed himself for someone so he could prove he's 'not a bad guy.' So glad they don't seem to be going in this direction.

And there was shirtlessness. River could have babbled like her name sake and this would still be the bestest Firefly episode yet.

Which is GOOD, cuz I don't want to see Jayne going anywhere, whether it's in a blaze of glory or not!

(re: the statue) "Its eyes kind of follow me wherever go."

Do you think this might have been an oblique reference to Catherine Madison's cheerleading trophy?

just curious...but for those who have watched "Serenity", is River becoming coherent because she's out of shock? Simon said that she wasn't supposed to be out of the "box" for another two weeks, is that now coming into fact?

You know, I kept wondering who that was under the makeup and thinking maybe that was him, too. But I still don't know. Maybe watch it again and listen to the voice? But Adam does some voice work for cartoons (JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES), and I never would have recognized his voice there, so...that might not be conclusive, either.

(Aw, heck, who cares if it's conclusive, it's just fun to watch the ep again!

)

And Rex -- yeah, I most definitely saw the look on his face when he ripped off that tape! Owwwwie!
