I actually noticed this when I watched the Firefly pilot on dvd a couple weeks ago,
Revealing mistakes: At the end during the scene involving Wash interacting with other characters on the bridge of Serenity, his seat was moved back away from the console to keep him in the shot (as per the director's commentary). Visible in the wide screen DVD, as a result, is the fact that he's not actually holding the control yoke of the ship - he only has his hands held up in that position, miming the actions.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's hilarious.

Ok, so who would you say was your favorite Firefly character? For me it would be Simon Tam. I really liked his intellectualism and his sense of maintaining decorum even out in the far reaches of space and the outer worlds. And of course his undying love and sacrifices he made for River were admirable.
Hands down it had to be Jayne for me. He had so many great lines, all were typical "guy" lines, but the delivery was so great.
Quote:
Jayne - Ain't logical. Cuttin' on his own face, rapin' and murdering - Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin' paid - mostly only when I'm gettin' paid. But these Reavers... last ten years they show up like the bogeyman from stories. Eating people alive? Where's that get fun?
Quote:
Kaylee: "But he coulda made 'em family. 'stead of keepin' Simon from seein' I was there. And I carried such a torch! And we coulda...goin' on a year now and I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!"
Mal: (horrified) "Oh God! I can't know that!"
Jayne: "I could stand to hear more."
Quote:
Zoe: "No one's gonna force you to go, Jayne. As has been stated -- this job's strictly speculative."
Jayne: "Good. 'Cause I don't know these folks, don't much care to."

If you have bluray capability I highly suggest you watch it in high-def. It looks amazing.

I'll buy it eventually but right now I'm just renting the BR discs from Netflix.

I thought Jayne was a remarkable character. I was always on edge when he had to make a decision. He would seem to just slip away or even appear to change sides only to completely redeem himself at the last minute - with a look that suggested he knew what he was doing the whole time - and I have to admit, it caught me off-guard every single time!
Firefly and Farscape were the only "space sci-fi" shows that captivated my attention these past few years... nope no Star Trek, no Babylon, no Battlestar...
As far as the western theme, I don't like westerns as a genre. I like some stories/films, but for some odd reason though, it just *fit* for that series and wouldn;t be the same otherwise. I guess it's an odd combo blended together like a good mixed drink. ... or like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or something.

Fillion managed to drag his Mal clothing from the closet in the last episode, under the pretence of Halloween fancy dress ("but Dad, didn't you wear that like five years ago?")

To this day I do not support any shows on Fox, I really think they wanted FireFly to fail. I loved it since I watched the first episode and I was hoping Josh would have made a couple of mini series, but that is not going to happen. I am so bummed that I too went and purchased a blueray and new disks. I already had it on dvd,lol.
