I was reading a long-gone post here at FireFlyFans called Kelly's weblog. It had some really interesting stuff in it that I hadn't noticed in the shows, but sure enough they were true.

For example, in Ariel, when Wash and Kaylee are in the junkyard, the metal piece of equipment that Wash hurls at the Hover Ambulance, is the same piece that breaks down on Serenity in Out of Gas.

I love this kind of stuff. Who's got more?

The dress Kaylee was wearing when she was caught, uh...."with".... Bester in the engine room (OoG) is the same dress she wears on her first date out with Simon (The Message). I know The Message hasn’t aired yet, but you can see it in the gag reel. I'm not that counts, but it stood out to me.

I noticed that too! I need to watch the eps again to start looking for things like that.

It's a compression coil. Which was also the part Kaylee tried to get Mal to buy in the first part of Serenity. She warned him then what would happen if it blew. Always listen to your mechanic!

Actually it was the Catalyzer on the port compression coil that blew and needed to be replaced. Mal even corrected the salvage captain on the part when he thought it was the compression coil.

Would have been better if it was the coil since Kaylee warned Mal about it in both Serenity and The Train Job.

Interesting note: in the unaired version of Serenity after Kaylee says she would like to get a new compression coil and Mal basically tells her no, he then tells Wash get a compression coil. In the aired version he doesn't say anything to Wash. They may have cut the line after the fact because of the events in Out of Gas.

Yup, my bad. Sorry. Was going from memory instead of looking it up and just remembered that both had something to do with the compression coil. Totally spaced that it was the part *on* the coil that blew. Thanks.

Of course if Serenity works in any way like my car does, then replacing the coil before would have kept that catalyzer from blowing.

No problem. Thought it was the same part myself for a long time until I watched the 2 eps close together to realize there was a difference. Doesn't help that they all start with C.

And yes, if the coil was replaced it wouldn't have blown. Like you said, always listen to your mechanic.

They shouldn't have cut that out, I thought it said a lot about Mal, then again if he kept the ship in good repair Out of Gas would have been a big surprise.
