I rewound that part 20 times and I could never catch the whole thing. I couldn't understand all of what Nathan was saying. I didn't catch the part about Book until like the 7th time at least. I just got a new computer and i watched it on that but I don't have the speakers set right. It's really poppy if I put the volume up high and it doesn't go that loud. I tried watching The Producers on my laptop last week and the volume at its highest was so low I had to sit up on it.

Plus Nathan said it all so fast and everyone was laughing and so was I. I just wasn't hearing it all.

In many of the gags, something will go wrong and various folks will say "Summer". I thought this came from the natural mistake of referring to "River" as "Summer" and therefore blowing a line. It then seemed to become a codework for I just screwed up.

Again, I have no inside info for this, but this is how I have always taken it, and thought it was pretty funny.


That's a nice idea but according to Joss on the Audio commentary for Objects in Space the reason is very different.

Chris is correct.

If you haven't watched the commentary on the Firefly DVDs, DO IT! The inside stories are fabulous!

that idea is a bit funny though, just think replacing a swear word with "summer"

cast member " There I go again. I summered up my line, for the 11 summering time. Summer it all. Maybe I'm to dry. Could somebody get me something to summering drink?"

I really like how Adam Baldwin's the very last to break character, and he even tries to save some scenes - like in the backseat spaceship driver, when everyone's yelling, Adam, in his best Jayne voice, bellows out "Gorram it Wash, MOVE!" Totally in character. Just thought that was cool. Plus his "Oh crap, I just looked at the camera."
Also, I love Mal's "TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" Gag. Oh, and they're talking to Mr. Universe, and Nathan just loses it. "Uh...what's my line?"
Ahh...fun on Serenity.

One of the funniest bits I saw was from The Message, but wasn't included on the Firefly DVDs (I found it on the net). It's described in the commentary for the episode though. It's the scene where Tracey is lying in his coffin and his recorded message is being played. The crew are standing around the coffin and the camera slowly turns in a circle to show everyone's reaction. Well, if you haven't listened to the commentary (and you should, the commentaries are great), the camera starts on Nathan and as it turns he shows up beside every other character. Somehow they don't realize what's going on and seeing their reactions as Nathan shows up beside them is hilarious. Alan looks up and is surprised to see him, Summer is just cracking up, but Nathan stays in character throughout the entire thing. It's a gutbuster.

True but did you notice he throws his hat at Jewel?

Adam's so cool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nathan was the one who was standing next to everyone while the camera panned around not Adam. However it's great someone else saw Adam hit Jewel with his hat as she was laughing at Nathans antics.

Two other funny outtakes were when Mal (what a hottie!) was dancing with Honora outside the shuttle.

You mean Inarah of course.
