Anybody catch that the helmets the Alliance soldiers were wearing were taken from Starship Troopers? Same props.

Following up on Devonshyr's comment, I always thought there was a bit of a logical disconnect between Mal's saying "If I kill you, you'll be awake and you'll be armed" and his actual behavior - see also (SPOILER!) his shooting of The Operative in "Serenity" immediately after the Operative says, "I'm unarmed…".

We order pho frequently, and it comes with a bag of veggies to mix into the broth - bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, jalapenos, and lime usually; there's often quite a bit left over. Though they only keep for a few days, we've found that mixing those with ramen goes a long way towards "classing it up"...
This is exactly what popped into my head when I read "old book smell perfume"
"they'll need to old book smell perfume"
Tried Farscape, couldn't stomach it. I think I got about halfway through the first season and just couldn't stand it. But tastes vary - as my mom says, "That's why they make vanilla and chocolate ice cream".

Something interesting that I don't think has been mentioned: when the shows originally aired there was a prologue that played introducing the world of the show; there was one narrated by Shepherd Book and one by Mal. They're not on the dvds but oddly ARE on the Netflix Streaming version…

Trivia/Easter egg - Han Solo appears in (I think) every episode of Firefly. There's a tiny "Han Solo frozen in Carbonite" toy that Whedon made sure was in the background in at least one shot in each episode.

Looks like a young Charles Muntz, the villain from "Up".
I don't remember exactly when it was that I realized that pretty much every single song by Christine McVie was an incredibly depressing tale of codependency, but for faux-upbeat, I nominate "Over My Head", which sounds like a lovely bouncy piece of fluff but which says, "You can take me to paradise, then again you can…

I agree…if I recall correctly, Cat sends Jaime off with a promise to find her girls, and he kind of takes that seriously, which I thought was the beginning of his "redemption". If she cuts his hand off, I just can't see how that would happen…
