ok, russian geisha dolls.

They certainly do not have wobbly heads, either.

Matryoshka dolls

From the Ariel script, a direction for the scene in question:

Simon looks at her pad -- she's drawn a very well-rendered sketch of a matryoshka (a nesting doll), each layered doll lined up from big to small.

see, that's why i love this site. info which is not only accurate but quite informative. i do wonder when simon says its time to wake up to river, its interesting that when river first woke up out of the box in pilot, she is kind of like a box within a box...also, another question. at end of ariel, what do they do with the emergency transport? it looks like its in operable shape. did they sell it? i mean, they do take off in serenity with the transport inside. if they repainted it, they could use it again...

one last inquiry:
in the ariel episode, does anyone know why book is not even seen at all? i know the storyline, but it is kind of unusual when a character is not even in any scene. i wonder if anyone knows about this at all? just wondering if there was some kind of contract issue or if book was just late getting there in the scene and was taken out...

I think they made mention at the start of the episode that Book had been dropped off at the Abbey for a visit.

When something like that happens in a TV series, it usually means that the actor wasn't available that week, for any of a thousand reasons. He may have had a prior commitment (made before he signed on to Firefly and written into his Firefly contract), or he might have been ill, for two.

I haven't heard anything specific about that episode. Didn't think to ask him on the one occasion I met him (Flanvention I). I do know that Ron Glass holds himself to very high standards of professionalism, so it's almost certain he didn't fail to show up or land in rehab, or anything even remotely scandalous.
