Well, I missed the watch and post. But...I'm typing this from my brand new MacBook, using my brand new wireless router (with dial-up, oddly enough). AIFG!!!
Now, I'll be able to watch and post without cricking my neck around! The only problem is, I can't find my complete set of Firefly, and a friend still hasn't returned disk 1 of the other set. I guess I'll be set for next week, though.

ya, the re-WnP was a great idea. Its fun to see what others pick up on an episode.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Book comes across really preachy in this episode. At least, more than usual. I wonder if they were still feeling out his character?
I am always amused by the Feds looking under the placemats. Hee.
For a lot of other TV shows I own on DVD, I'll skip past the opening credits, but I never, ever have when watching Firefly.

Una I just finished (re) watching it to catch up (so-to-speak) and I agree on all your points. The feds and placemats is really funny.
I also think Book did come across as overly preachy, mainly when he talks about the reavers only being men and believing in a power than can heal. It looks like he's manuvering for an avenue there. Still in the book before the script Tim said that the whole episode served to further characters (the Alliance and Reavers included). I'd pretty much guessed as much. It was the 2nd episode.
I wonder if anyone goes to Sonny Rhodes' shows and instead of yelling out regular song titles yells out "PLAY THE FIREFLY THEME!!!"

All is well that ends in pizza.
I just figured the feds looking under placemets were looking for what they thought of as "clues" or "see what else we can find."
"oh look! a hidden key! there must be a golden lock!"
Ok, I got nothin.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love the placemat thing. That was the first thing I thought of when this episode was mentioned. Okay, second after Simon and River hanging onto the outside of the ship. With the placemat guy behind them.
