I would not read much into what Jayne says in general. I mean, "noble as a grape"?

(Was anyone else weirded out by Summer Glau's voice coming out of that girl's mouth? And then later Whedon is the voice of that old man in the bank. Bizarro.)

I'm not sure what she's writing, but why would they have kids write on graph paper? Also, I can buy the pen she's using at Meijer, or pretty much anywhere else.

Why wouldn't they use graph paper? At work, that's all we use. That's all I used in college, too. Yes, I'm an engineer, but rarely does anyone actually do any graphing on paper. Sketches, yes, but that's done ignoring the lines.

The stuff on River's notepad does not look like anything in particular, and the lines do not seem to be related in any way. There are a few equals signs in there, but if you were hoping for a famous equation or two I don't see them. I think they are supposed to represent general notes (Of far higher quality than any I made in my undergraduate career).

I think I would find trying to write or read on graph paper somewhate distracting.

Yes, well, you're an artist. You're probably most at home with unlined paper. [Wink]

The desk, too.

Now if we could get some Fruity Oaty Bars. . .

They're not mandatory!

I hope I am scooping the internet here: Inara's weapon at the final standoff changes from a fancy high tech dart launcher thing that looks kind of like a bow in the close-ups to a genuine old fashioned bow in the wider shot when Zoe is losing it.

After checking, apparently I am not.

Maybe she had both a long bow and a hand-gun version and just switched when one ran out of ammo. I remember seeing that she had a bow and it seemed rather silly to me to fight an bloodthirsty psychotic horde with a weapon that can only be fired once every 5 or 6 seconds.

In that scene I paid less attention to what Inara was shooting with and more attention to what she was wearing. Yum.

But the bow did seem to be a rather nifty weapon, and did manage to off a few Reavers.

The regular bow didn't test well. They CGI'd the super dart-caster/glowy-revolver thing in later. Except not in every shot.

For a movie that I've only given a B, I've seen it 3 times in the theatre now and just the other night purchased the Official Visual Companion. In a related story, I do have a scanner. No, I will not scan the entire script.

Did they really? That's, I don't know, that's really strange. Great effects work, I guess, though now that I know it would probably be obvious.

Weird.

Whole script, no. Interesting pre-production sketches or caps of the REALLY KICKASS SPACESHIPS? Please. [Smile]

There aren't nearly enough spaceship pictures in it. I mean, there are some. Just not enough.

To be sure, plan views would have been very nice.
