ya, the re-WnP was a great idea. Its fun to see what others pick up on an episode.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It reminds me of Vonnegut's Church of Jesus Christ the Kidnapped.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aw, damn, I missed it again. Bushwhacked is one of my favorite episodes, too! The best shot was when the camera pulled back from River and Simon clinging to the hull, to show Serenity, and back more to show the huge ship she was clinging to, and then back even more to show the stars and how tiny they all were. That shot gave me shivers.
Also, I loved how it was like two episodes in one. The first part in the empty ship, and when it was over I looked at the clock and it was only halfway through! and then the second part in the Alliance ship. It seemed to me to juxtapose the two worlds and how the Serenity crew didn't fit into either one.
