But, howdyrockerbaby1, it would be much more fun to get out my DVDs and rewatch the episode using ultra slo-mo every time The Hat appears. Too bad I'll have to wait until myother half retrieves them from the loanee...

Did somebody not get the memo? In Out of Gas it shows Zoe wearing her necklace twice before she was married to Wash, the first when Malcolm first shows her the ship, and second when she tells Mal that something about Wash bothers her.



Well ... perhaps this is all foreshadowing for some once-and-future episode where we find out Zoe and Wash were *already* married before the war, but due to severe PTSD, she had completely forgotten about it ... just wore the necklace because she had a special feeling from it.

interesting...very very interesting...



I am inclined to agree w/ Sarahetc & Astriana's spin on the necklace and her wearing it in the flashbacks from "Out of Gas":

I'm also inclined to agree with Astriana about the necklace, with one caveat: she tranfered meanings as part of transfering her loyalty. It was a symbol she chose before or during the war, that meant loyalty for her. As she transferred that loyalty from one thing to another, she changed the meaning of the necklace. I can see her telling Wash "this is an important symbol to me. I have had it for a long time. And now it is significant because I say it binds me to you." It's a little like wearing your grandmother's wedding band or something-- it's not specifically for you, but you imbue (dun dun dun) the item with your meaning.



Makes sense to me.

The straw is there when he pulls out the hat

later on the straw is gone because Jayne would have picked it off

The straw is there again when Jayne gets done digging out the box that is full of straw

the straw is gone later in the infirmary because Jayne loves the hat and would take care of it by cleaning it off...





.... was Jayne digging with his head? Or was he pulling out straw and storing it in his hat to make a nest later?

And, the fact that it was pointed out in the commentary suggests it was not intended, dontcha think?
