Need to see it again this weekend.
I had honestly forgotten (blocked out, perhaps) the sequence that ends up with Wash's death. I mean, I remembered that he died, but had managed to COMPLETELY forget when/where etc. So, HSQ a second time.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?
'War Stories'
Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
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.

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.
So The Operative hunted and tracked and trapped Serenity and was *real* surprised when Serenity shows up lookin' all uglified and gross and towin' a passle o' Reavers.
I loved how the Operative was totally unflappable throughout the film and then he was suddenly OMGWTFREAVERS! As they say, everybody is afraid of something, and it would make sense that someone so focused on order like the Operative would be frightened of the sheer unreasoned chaos of the Reavers.

I didn't particularly notice that. However shall I correct this moment of inattention?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
But Book did know a lot about crime. He just smelled like a cop to me.
In suspicioulsy sharp clothing on a NYPD Detective's salary?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Now that you mention it...yeah! YEAH!
He was "on the take" as they say.

Clearly.
And groovy. We KNOW the shepherd was once groovy.

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...
Last night, I found myself willing Serenity to not hit the pillars in the docking bay, to not lose an engine, and to not spin round so that the cockpit was facing the Reavers. And then willing Wash to bend down to tie his shoelaces up.
But it was still all the same. I was totally surprised how much impact it still had on second viewing - I had to fight off that allergy Daniel mentioned.
I'm with Kalshane on The Operative being calm all movie 'til the Reavers arrived, and then he absolutely bricked it. Very well done.

Well, yeah, wouldn't you? "Holy CRAP! There's four gajillion cannibal vampire space pirates in giant ugly ships that leak radiation! THEY'RE HEADED RIGHT FOR US!"
I, personally, would probably have crapped my pants, my shirt, my shoes and the pants, shirts and shoes of all the people on the bridge with me. We would be entirely crappified. Up to our chins.

On the take, groovy, and a special relationship with a local brothel, methinks - a "I'll scratch your back if you rub your well-oiled body on mine" kinda thing.

Ahem. GalaxyQuest reference. I'm only slightly embarrassed.
Dude. No need for even slight embarrassment in this crowd.
