Yes! I forgot to ask that! Someone page Zenkitty and the shooting script cites!
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe I missed this in skimming the movie conversation but I was confused about what Simon was shooting up Mal with before they went on the bankroll heist. Or did I just imagine that happened?
I just assumed that was some sort of basic immunization/vaccination-type thing, though against what is a matter of speculation. I doubt he was worried about tetanus.

"Don' be e-scared"
No question that was Summer's voice. We did the same thing in "Safe." Had Summer loop the dialogue, then we pitched it up to make it sound slightly younger.

But then why just Mal and not the others? so weird.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Huh.

I don't so much care about the explanation of the injection -- more about why it was left in without a context.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
someone in the lj Firefly community said that Mal tells Simon he guesses it's about time to be innoculated as they're walking and discussing River going along on the job. i didn't catch it on first viewing, but that doesn't surprise me. i plan on going again with my aunt sometime soon and will listen for it.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
