Super SPOILER FILLED Serenity thread

[sniffles]

How exactly does one strap a skeleton to the hull of a ship?

Agh! You just reminded me of one of my pet peeves - skeletons that are still articulated in movies and tv. I guess after the Alliance killed them, they wired all the bones back together?

I actually had the feeling that they didn't become skeletons until after Serenity went through the atmosphere - the ship is shown with skeletons strapped to the hull as it leaves the planet. Although why the bones didn't burn up too I don't know. I'm not knowledgeable enough about the physics of that.

Yeah, I kind of got the idea that they were still flesh-covered bodies when they were strapped to the hull, and only "became" skeletons during the flight up and out of the atmosphere.

Yeah I was wondering why the skeletons didn't burn up. Also, they painted red on the ship as well (I assume it was paint and not blood). In either case, wouldn't that burn up to?

I plead the fifth!

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Look.. Do you wanna run this ship!?

Well.. You can't..... .. .. er..

That was the lamest set of lines in that whole movie.

Remember also that Inara is more then just a two bit hooker. Her kind receives actual training in body language and manipulation, communications, etc. She was able to read Mals "wife" like a book.

For that matter, she reads the Operative in a split second. The scene in Serenity where she is smiling as he approaches, then her eyes widen when she looks into his face- no dialogue- is one of the standout moments of the movie to me.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

No, he really didn't. Killing Book showed he was willing to kill characters. The more likely explaination was mentioned earlier in this thread - the actor couldn't commit to future projects, so Joss wrote him out.

Did you read the quote from Alan Tudyk about Wash's death that I posted a couple of days ago in this thread? He says he even thought from the beginning that Wash should die, and talked to Joss about it when the series was still on the air. Nothing about committing to future projects and being written out.

Which just goes to show how well written it is, because that was a funny set of lines.

As for the one Reaver ship following Serenity.
It is the same Reaver ship that is on to them before they blow their disguise.

And in TV show, theyve already laid the rules that if you run from Reavers, they WILL follow you. They feel obligated to chase you down if you run.

Ayup...

One of my favorite parts is when Inara and Mal talk over the wave, and they dont fight, and almost everyone realizes its a trap BECAUSE they didnt fight..

The sexual tension between those too is just so charged and fun.
