And with that, AR, I give you the rationale for Inara's outfit during the Reaver fight sequence.

Everything else was cut from the final edit of the movie.

I thought it was only Inara's arms and shoulders that were exposed. Didn't she have a long flowing dress or somesuch. Hardly exposure?

No no, think about it. You're on Miranda. Kids go first, they're littler so they'll have a higher concentration of the kill dose of the Pax in them. You loose your children, start stressing out. The trauma changes your brain chemistry and makes you immune to the pacification effects, it goes the other way instead. Pretty soon everyone around you who wasn't personally affected by the initial wave of tragedy is dying also, you see your entire world die, horrifically and inexplicably, and you don't know why you're still alive or when you're going to go also, and you snap, and whammo, Reaver-time. Constantly escalating adrenaline feedback loop. Plus Pax.

Mal's tight pants. Unless there was quite a bit of spandex in them, they would split every time he bent over. Heard that actually happened during the filming of the pilot.

She stole it from one of the other girls after they fell, thinking she would be more protected. Fortunately for her, she was kneeling behind some cover and the Reavers could only see her upper half, not her well-covered rage inducing lower half.

Some of mine:

1. Those small, golf cart-like futuristic cars.

2. "Heart of Gold" - just throw the whole ep into the nearest black hole.

3. The general store guy in "Safe" should have said something.

4. That scoop-less Bobcat in "Jaynestown". How's it supposed to do ANYTHING?

5. The sword fight in "Shindig" was kinda lame. Maybe in the future even sword experts aren't that good.

6. The new Mule. Is that whole front end thing *really* necessary? Seems like a waste of space. I'm still not sure where they stored the "payload". Those rear hatches weren't very big.

As I recall, the back seat is elevated compared to the front seat, which probably means there's some room between the lower chassis and hover-inducing parts and the chairs. Smuggling compartments!

Good points. Though Heart of Gold is a kinda nice one for Inara development. Even if the villain is over done and the aesop is anvilicious.

Mine's more of a problem w/ the way a scene was shot, and less so with how the characters acted.

The chase scene in Heart of Gold bugged me to no end. Where Mal takes a horse and 'rides down' Rance, who is driving a hover craft..... while I did chuckle at the 'low battery' bit with Rance's laser gun, I think the whole sequence could have been shot MUCH more convincingly. I take it Joss was going for an Indiana Jones type moment, but it looked really contrived and goofy. For being such a wizard of making more out of less, Joss and Co. really underwhelmed me w/ that effort.

Summer Glau can simply walk into Mordor

Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

My negative comments about Firefly:

1. "Shindig" - the duel was poorly staged. We know Mal is no good with a sword, but Atherton was supposed to be expert. He didn't look it. And that fog? Lame.

2. "Ariel" - we are expected to believe that no one else on the ship heard Mal and Jayne's argument.

3. "Heart of Gold" - very weak villain.

4. "Objects in Space" - a near perfect episode, my favorite. But how did Jubal get inboard without setting off an alarm? And why wouldn't the airlock be inaccessible from outside during flight?
