You're refering to the Objects In Space - Scene 6 deleted scene I take it. Where it says, "This scene was actually aired in the original broadcast but has been deleted from the episode's DVD release. All of the episodes on this DVD appear as Joss Whedon originally conceived them so this reference to Inara deciding to leave no longer makes sense."

No longer makes sense since she had already decided to leave in the unaired Heart of Gold that was intended to air before Objects in Space and which is presented in it's proper place on the DVD.

That's what I was referring to, yes. What I'm wondering is whether that was the only change made on the DVD set. Any other changes would have to be to the unaired episodes, since undoubtedly someone would have noticed any changes in the ones that were broadcast. But Joss could have reedited the unaired eps to improve the flow and continuity of the DVDs' episode order.

It's probably pretty unlikely, though. The change to OiS probably went the other way -- it was changed for the broadcast because HoG wasn't shown first.

--- Sheesh, just looked out the window. It's snowing like there's no tomorrow! Where the heck did this come from?

I don't disagree on any particular point.

And since Jubal says 'i've been following you since Ariel' and Trash is situated between Ariel and OiS (in the dvd set anyway) isnt it just that little bit nicer to assume that Joss was having a wink at the audience. The model may have been a reused piece of cg that Joss put in to link the episodes in the dvd set yes, but not just for show surely? How many other ships do we see two models of apart from Jubals? Not counting the two Serenity shuttles of course.

Well, of course, you're free to speculate along those lines if you find it rewarding. I was just suggesting that the whole episode order debate becomes moot if the ship in Trash wasn't Early's -- which it didn't necessarily have to be.

True that.

That's the way it looked to me. The broadcast material (shown in the deleted scene) had a cut then insert feel to it to me. Of course that's what I wanted to find since the other way around would have rather invalidated my point so judge for yourself.

According to my utterly inacurate web weather site I could be getting 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow. Which makes me happy. Of course the last x times we were supposed to get 2-4 inches we just got a dusting at most.
