But Mal and Simon talk about Simon having the job of patching people up -- I thought that was plenty clear, early on.
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.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, but again, maybe it was left in just because the dialog was important, and they didn't want to reshoot the whole scene?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I seem to remember some "thank you, Mr. Exposition!" early on about his graduating from medical school early.

A co-worker IMed me to say "I'm so angry at Joss that I almost might not watch the movie again!"
I don't feel one bit guilty for hooking him.
He went out to buy his own DVDs, and said he couldn't find any in stores. I suggested there might have been a rush on them, but he thought they were just replaced with newer releases.
Fox has someone else running a flashy and expensive ad campaign for the series DVDs. I'd think now's a great time to have them on the shelves. Or flying off them.

Seriously. I've had three people ask to borrow my set in the last 24 hours.

Skippy to reply to this:
I don't think people would feel betrayed or slapped in the face unless it felt like they were perhaps uninivited to that universe. I think possibly that's why the Kittens responded to Tara's death as they did - many of them started watching Buffy because there was a healthy lesbian relationship in it.
It pissed me off but not for the reasons you list here. The reason that it bugged me was that it was used to bring about Dark!Willow, whom I didn't find all that interesting with all her Die Hard talk and being so not really Willow. I thought it would have been far more interesting for Willow to have gone not quite so dark but on her own - not from some sort of awful catalyst that kind of forgives her, if that makes sense.
Had she died as part of a fight (as Wash did), I would have been super sad to see her character go, but I wouldn't have felt pissed off.
I have more to say but I have a mtg.

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.
My friend who is currently borrowing my DVDs e-mailed me to say she just finished them up this weekend and is sad there are no more episodes. She hasn't had a chance to see Serenity yet. She's one of those people who always asks what's going to happen whenever she's watching someone with someone who's already seen it. I've been keeping my lips sealed about the movie so far.
I have a feeling she may hate me afterwards.

Shooting script has Mal saying to Simon something about getting "innocked" before going down, I can't remember if it's in the movie or not. I think not, because I wondered about that scene too.
It's in the movie. Mal says it as they're in the corner by the engine room. It's a soft and quickly spoken line and very hard to pick up on, though.
