That's its known, just not talked about much. Just like stuff similar to "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" these days (old poem - everyone has heard about it, but no one talks about it).

Anyway, the real question I have is do people still know the Beatles in Joss's verse? I mean that's a pretty big coincidence if you ask me, so by having that scene and those lines is Joss trying to say that the Beatles are so good that they are still widely known 500 years from now? That'd be pretty sweet. Is Joss a big Beatles fan?

What about that line from Jaynestown. Jayne says to one of the mudders: You fought the law huh? Isn't that a reference to a song? It goes something like this:

I fought the law
and the law won
I needed money
cause I had none
I fought the law
and the law won

I'm sure people will kick me for not knowing the name of the song or who its by. But it did go through my head when he sid that line.

From the delivery, I don't think Mal necessarily knows-- he's just wishing a little encouragement on their gadjet.

But Wash, does, obviously, and picks up on it. Another cool thing about WAsh....

Technically, the 'verse knows the "Beetles."

Like "from the mouths of babes." (One of the Star Trek: New Frontier novels had Excaliber's whole command staff trying to figure out exactly how that line was supposed to continue, 'cause nobody on the whole damn ship knew. Starfleet's finest. )

If memory serves well, the Lassiter was called "The Mexican" in earlier shooting scripts. Oddly enough, fireflywiki.org suggest for possible origin of the name a gold-digger called Harold Bell Lasseter. My friend Rhyianan is right, however; she told me the Lassiter was so named in homage to Pixar's John Lassiter, for whom Joss has done much work.
