In Friday's episode, I saw two things that MIGHT have been Firefly references.

Of course it IS possible that I'm looking too hard.

Ref#1
Ballard, while talking to Millie upon her return (and programed message) is wearing a t-shirt with Chinese pinyin. At first I thought it was the same characters as in the Blue Sun logo, which would have been wildly ironic, but turns out they weren't. But still, the presence of pinyin...

Ref#2
When Echo's handler, Boyd, goes to talk to the doctor (Amy Acker) who's just finished an exam of one of the dolls (November, I think), she's removing rubber gloves. One is off, but the other one stays on for a bit. The gloves are blue.

So what do you think?

Carefully placed references?

Or the over-active imagination of a stark raving fanboy?

maybe one of each?
I wouldn't think anybody could get away with blue gloves around Joss without somebody else saying, " two by two, hands of blue." And considering that other colors of rubber gloves are easily available...

In one episode I heard "Heart of Gold", I wonder if anyone else heard it?

As soon as I saw them, I said, "two by two, hands of blue" to myself.

Yes, I did. And it was "Badger" who said it.
