Haven't rewatched, but here's a thing I loved: after they've chatted with Patience, and everyone's kinda kidding around about how they should shoot her this time, and Mal's been all jokey about the bullet, he gets up and suddenly just knocks some rattly thing off something and it goes clattering away and everyone gets real quiet. It's the look on his face, like, this shit ain't funny no more, and I just might be about to kill somebody.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I was idly wondering to myself what the Chinese character on the object is, and noticed the object was an hourglass.In the commentary Joss mentions that the symbol is for "short interval" which would work depending on how much time the hourglass keeps.
As for a time change in the WNP I'm personally not opposed to a time change if it can work. The more people the better. But I seem to remember quite a few people good with Wed nights. Someone make a suggestion and we can examine it from there? If I remember most of it was based on tv shows people watch. I watch next to nothing on tv.

Was it here the somebody pointed out that in both Buffy and Angel in season 2 one of the characters winds up in a wheelchair?
So, had FF gotten to a season two - who do you think it would be most interesting to see spend some time in a wheelchair? (I was thinking Jayne. . . but possibly Mal.)

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
Hmm... probably one of those two. It'd just be a question of comic relief (Jayne frustrated or acting like a baby in a wheelchair-like device) versus (anti)hero (Mal trying to get shit done and being a badass in a wheelchair-like device). I'd vote for Jayne in a wheelchair. The comedic opportunities would be endless.

Compassionately intolerant
My mind went immediately to Jayne figuring out how to turn himself into a torpedo-like device.
Plus all that delicious upper body strength would give him an advantage.
Mmmm. Biceps.
Bunk!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
that ship is so not handicapped accessible

You know, it would have meant lots of scenes between Simon and Jayne.

Which is why I'd choose Jayne. He'd probably have to stay in the cargo hold.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Okay, the idea of Jayne trapped in the cargo hold in a wheel chair is hilarious. And I feel bad now for laughing about it.
I bet Firefly was a really difficult show to write for. The language issues, of course, but also the whole breaking a story aspect. It's very easy to break a story for, say, Dollhouse, but with Firefly I'm all - where do you even begin?

Teaser: Some random ugly building on a random ugly planet. Mal, Jayne, and Zoe run out of it. It blows up.
