One of my favorite parts is where one crew member is presented as ominously confronting Malcolm in the ship with what appears to be an assault rifle. Then he very gravely expresses that he wishes to trade it!
Guns != violence, I love it.

Yeah, but he's offering to trade it for a woman..... bad trade. I traded in some things for a wife once. Guess which I wish I'd kept......

Yeah, but remember what Jayne was trying to trade his favorite rifle for?!?!
edited to add: TexasSIGMan was just a little quicker on the ENTER key than I was.
It would have served him right if Malcom had taken him up on the deal. It might've served Saffron right, too. Probably not, though.
It was after that episode, I think, that Jayne offered his opinion that "girlfolk aren't to be trusted."
He's right. We're not. Boyfolk ain't to be trusted either, though, not til ya know 'em!
My husband points out that every time the crew pass up carrying a weapon, like on the Mudder's planet or when Mal won't let Jayne carry grenades in the movie, they end up wishing they had them. No guns = danger. Another good message!

I posted this info over at APS, but I guess I can post it here, too.
Firefly Easter Eggs and Scripts
Some of this has been presented before, but now for your one-stop shopping pleasure I'm summarizing the eggs I know about plus the location of the Firefly theme song in Serenity.
Firefly DVD set Easter egg
1. Boot up Disk 4.
2. Select “Special Features”.
3. Highlight “Joss Sings the Firefly Theme”.
4. Hit the DVD controller left arrow; the curly graphic on the left side of the screen should change from white to yellow.
5. Hit the DVD controller Play key.
Adam Baldwin sings “Hero of Canton”.
Serenity DVD Easter egg
1. Highlight “Bonus Materials”.
2. Hit the DVD controller left arrow; the wedge on the right side of the screen (at the 9 o’clock position) will enable.
3. Click the wedge.
Some background info on how the Fruity Oaty Bar advertisement was created.
Firefly theme on Serenity DVD
I've read people were disappointed that the theme song from the Firefly series doesn't show up in Serenity. Actually, it does. At the end of the credits at the end of the movie, the movie theme segues into an acoustical guitar version of the Firefly theme song. Very cool; very poignant. I'm reminded how good the music was in Firefly. My favorites are the music all through Out of Gas and at the funeral at the end of The Message. By the way, don't fast-forward through the credits to get to the Firefly theme. The closing theme for the movie, played all through the credits, is fantastic in its own way.
Scripts or very detailed synopses of every Firefly episode can be found here:
http://www.fireflywiki.org/Firefly/EpisodeGuide
Select an episode and then select Read the script.
The script of the entire Serenity movie can be had here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1...002-8657741-9718447?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
Chinese-to-English translation of much of the Chinese phrases spoken and written is here. It's your chance to find out who invited someone to "engage in a feces hurling contest with a monkey." Not very lady-like.

I need one of those hats to wear to the range.
I have reserves next weekend, maybe I'll wear it in formation.

Thanks Silver Bullet!
I've been wondering what that long winded rant was that Wash gave Zoe in "War Stories".
"All the planets in space flushed into my butt!"
I'm gonna start using that every time my wife tries to give me the runaround.
I got mine at bluesunshirts.com
And here are some resources on Jayne's hat.

I agree, that Cafe Press site is surprising in the quantity of Firefly items.
One thing missing, though, is some sort of model of the ship:

Scroll down about 55% to get to the Serenity Zippo lighter and "ornament."

Some of the computer program Easter Eggs I’ve seen have such convoluted “keys” to get to them that I assume the only way people know about the eggs is if a program insider passed the word along to someone.
The Firefly/Serenity DVD keys are simple enough that somebody could have discovered them accidentally, I think.
What I don’t understand is why are these features hidden in this manner ?

Subject: Something touching.....
For those of you who haven't seen this. I caught reference to it on
the forums.prospero.com/firefly site...it was a link to a posting on
the fireflyfans.net site. Whether true or not I can't attest to but
still something that touched me.

Murphy's Second Law of Combat: If your attack is going particularly
well, you've walked into an ambush.
I know that a couple of people who are not real thrilled that some of
us soldier-type guys shout out firefly-isms during combat, and I can
honestly understand that. However, I hope that Joss and Tim read this
and find it inspiring, and I hope that everyone feels their guts knot
up as much as I did. . .and maybe a tear or two will well up in your
eyes, as they are streaming down my face just from the telling of
this. . .
As you all know, I've been a soldier stationed in Afghanistan for
quite some time now. Many of you know that I'm posting this from my
own home tonight, as I have been permitted to come home for ten days
on leave. It's been a very long time since I've been home. I flew from
Afghanistan to Frankfurt via military cargo jet (C-17 for those 'in
the know'), and the next morning, we got on a commercial flight to
Chicago. I got off the plane, grabbed my big-assed duffel bags and
prepared to wait in line for customs, and to my delight, the Customs
officers were pulling any soldier-types out of line and passing them
through, with a pat on the back and a 'welcome home'. I immediately
had to re-check my bags for my final flight, and after doing so, I
made a beeline outside. I crossed the street and walked into the snow,
the first I'd seen since January 2003, and stood at the base of the
American Flag for a second before I finally became overwhelmed and
fell to my knees. I grabbed a double handful of snow and rubbed it all
over my face. When I stood up, I realized there were almost 20 other
soldiers with me, all who had the same idea. Most of us didn't know
each other at all, but for that moment, we were brothers who had been
best of friends all our lives.
We decided to head on inside, and one young man, his name was Mike,
was still overwhelmed with emotion and could not stand. Another
soldier, a friend of his, went to lift Mike, and I took Mike's other
arm. Mike smiled weakly and thanked us. Here's where it gets tough to
even tell the story, and I hope Joss and Tim read this. . .
Mike's friend said, "You know the saying, Mikey. . .when you can't run
anymore you crawl. . ." and before he could say anymore, I finished it
for him. "And when you can't do that anymore, you find someone to
carry you."
Mike and his buddy, and about half the guys who were standing there
with us all smiled. We looked up at the flag and Mike said, "They
didn't take the sky from us." Turns out they were all Browncoats, and
they were home from Iraq for good.
Joss, Tim and all the rest of you. . .I don't know if you had any idea
that what you created would be so powerful, and provide such
inspiration for those of us who serve, but it does. Thank you.
And to all of you whom I've come to call my friends on this site,
thank YOU. Because of your love and support, the 'bad guys' are unable
to take the sky from ME.
I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes ya proud to be a Browncoat eh?

It was nice to know my Customs brothers up North are treating the servicemen right. Its a small thing to shoot someone to the head of the line and give them a "Welcome Back" but its the least we can do considering how you guys put it all on the line for freedom. Not everyone gets what it means for a traveler to come back home and be treated like a person and I'm glad at least in your case, we did something right. I don't usually post but your story got me where it counts. Thanks for the sacrifice.

Another interesting link:
http://www.twoevilmonks.org/firefly/ffintro.htm
Half of the episodes have photos and descriptions from that particular episode. Half will be filled in later. Maybe.
Kinda like watching an episode on fast-forward. Almost.
