i have heard that the cast made a joke where they called out Summer when they got lines wrong (cos she got her lines wrong at the end of a very long scene)

I've also noticed that in the out-takes and commentarys they seem to make a few jokes about Morena drinking. Is there a story behind this?

Are there any more in-cast jokes that anyone
knows about?

This is my first post so if i've put it in the wrong section then im really sorry.

wasn't there something about them hiding in the scenery at mr con? i'm a little hazy about it, as i was still getting chemo at the time. (warning! chemo plays havoc with your memory!) maybe one of the other attendees can elaborate?

I am trying to remember the story as Joss told it. For one thing, Summer almost never got her lines wrong, but once when she did Nathan yelled "SUMMER!" because Nathan gives people a hard time for kicks sometimes. So then, the next time Nathan flubbed his own lines, he yelled "SUMMER!" and it kind of became a running joke. I know Joss talks about it in the Serenity commentray. I need to watch that again.
As for Morena being drunk, I'm not sure on that, but there is a clip in the extended gag reel where they're shooting a scene from Trash and Morena says "I was hoping we could discuss a little business." *pause* "It's TALK! Why do I keep screwing that up?!" And Nathan says "Cuz you're drunk." So when Morena would screw up after that, he would sometimes make some allusion to her being drunk. Just Nathan being the funny man.

Phoenix Rose has the stories on Summer and Morena the way I heard them.
I heard Nathan on the commmentary somewhere saying something about Alan Tudyk being awkward or clumsy, not moving well or not hitting his marks. Sounded like another running joke...

Marba, I don't know any in-cast jokes except the ones that were mentioned, but I wanted to welcome you to the site. It's nice to have you find your way to FFF.net. It's a friendly group of Browncoats here, so post often.




I made a web site to introduce my friends to the 'Verse.

I believe that Jewel Staite and Nathan had a 'Flip the bird' contest that is still ongoing to this day.

Extended gag reel from Firefly, not Serenity. Try http://www.whispergraphics.net/ under Firefly; I think that's better quality than the youtube one.

I thought I remember reading or hearing somewhere that the details about the "Summer!" thing are as follows:

The scene required a long camera shot with several moves and lines of actors' dialog and when it finally came to Summer she messed up. I guess this happened a couple of times and the whole long shot was ruined because they wanted it in one take. I'm sure with Nathan poking fun at you, it isn't easy to get your lines right. But then, as said earlier, it just became a running joke when the actors flubbed their lines.

I love when Summer messes up with the choking Simon line and Sean just looks at the camera and shakes his head. Serenity...Greatest. Outtakes. Ever.

Don't forget how they called Sean "The Bod". I'm pretty sure that happened after the famous shirtless scene in "Objects in Space" but I'm not totally positive.

Yeah, he said that he often knew the "essences" of his lines...and then also that when he didn't know the Chinese that he would just make up words and see if anyone noticesd.

I'd forgot this one. just remembered when I posted it on another thread.

Somebody in the office, staff, behind the camera, Tim or the stunt director or one of the designers or coordinators, had a thing about chickens-- scared of 'em, hates 'em, so they threw chickens in whenever they could just to jerk on his chain...
