For Jaime, "Chester Square". For Gilbert, "Love & Rockets X". Goddamn masterpieces both, and delivering a strong cross-section of their respective universes.

They've been explicit when they needed to be. But "Birdland" is as far as they ever went with the sex, and that was a long time ago.

So, you're disappointed that the FX were good enough to fool you? Solution: Don't watch behind-the-scenes stuff.

"Swedish Chef > Dane Cook" is one of those jokes I can't believe hadn't already been made. Good one.

Argh, I got the name wrong. Yes, Mr. Universe's planet, whatever it's called, seems just as developed as Miranda, what with that huge facility Serenity crashes into. At least, it's not explained how they're able to land within running distance of Mr. Universe's control center.

My problem with Mr. Universe and 'can't stop the signal' is that it's such a transparent meta-nod to "Firefly"'s fan support. Whedon's not writing about the conflict between society and the individual here— he's celebrating his very real triumph-of-the-little-guy,  and giving us a pat on the head.

The planet-hopping throws me off a bit. For some reason it's easier for me to misremember the climactic fight going down on Miranda instead of Haven.

Personally, I find the 'driven mad by contemplating the emptiness of the universe' theory much more compelling. And I love Zach's note that reading it that way suggests it's something the Serenity crew risks by living on the periphery.

Did Zeek intentionally leave her out of the introductions so that she'd speak up and catch soldier-boy's eye? Crafty. But also a perfect Ann Veal moment.
