I think it actually fits better if Heart of Gold comes first.
Inara announces in HoG she'll be leaving, and then in Objects in Space when we see Mal and Inara on the walkway, Inara is saying something along the lines of "I don't know why I haven't left yet".
The crew obviously have some bigger things to worry about in OiS than Inara actually getting ready to leave, so it makes sense that she didn't really get the opportunity to broach the subject during the episode.

*shrugs* that's just the way I saw it anyway. River's story has a little bit more coherence though if Objects in Space (specifically Kaylee's confession about what River did with the gun) comes directly after War Stories.

Spoiler for Enterprise Ep 3.02

Spoiler

Okay is anyone else a little peeved that Enterprise is stealing that scene from Firefly when Malcom is interigating Jayne by holding him in the bay while they are lifting off from the planet's surface. I'm ****-ed.

 

[Tabitha]

Is that spoiler for Enterprise?
I don't recall seeing a similar scene in Ent. Please hide spoilers with the grey spoiler tags if so.

 

[libelula]

I don't know how to make spoilers tags. Now for thoes people who have seen this weeks episode of Enterprise. Yeah, you know which scene I'm talking about, I was right about it wasn't I. Such a ripoff.

 

[Tabitha]

Spoiler tags are very simple.

Use {spoiler}Text to be greyed out in here{/spoiler}

But replace {} with [].
Like so:

Spoiler

Text to be greyed out in here

I will edit your previous post in case any one of our many non-US/Canadian members is trying to stay Enterprise spoiler-free.
Please use the tag from now on in similar situations.

Spoiler

Look I made a spoiler tag.

but in all fairness is it considered a spoiler if it is for another series?

 

[Tabitha]

Well, is it any less of a spoiler if you come across it in a different place from where you might expect a spoiler?

I am planning on watching that episode of Enterprise this evening, so you've given me a little spoiler. Doesn't really bother me too much, but some people really really really hate them, and I find it is always best to err on the side of caution - I don't want to inadvertently ruin someone's enjoyment of a show.

I think the important factor is really that it is a brand new ep that only North Americans would have had the chance to see so far - and there are quite a lot of Enterprise fans in other parts of the world!

 

[libelula]

I always try to be vague in the first place, but now I will be even more careful.

Well, if this thread hasn't become a catch-all for everything.

On the subject of sound, I agree with all that's been said about the sound in space but what bothers me is -

Why do their guns have to make silly-sounding noises? Just because it's a SciFi show do the guns have to sound special?

In the battle scenes in the pilot there are a mix of beam (laser or whatever) and projectile (bullet) weapons. So why do the bullet guns have to make lame whirring noises when they are cocked? Don't today's pistols and rifles make ominous enough sounds?

They're deadly - we get it. Making them sound "futuristic" does nothing for me. In fact the noise makes them sound like kid's toys to me.

That's one of my few peeves about the show.

Maybe the firefly guns are representing more efficant guns or something. I'm more of a bloodied knife person, would rather see someone stabbed through the heart and see blood spurting out as the heart pumps then see gashing bullet wounds.

yowch! I think it has become acceptable to show ppl getting shot with guns, lasers, phasers, whatever in sci-fi, but to show someone getting stabbed in that kind of detail would def relegate the show to either being shown late-night or being cut...

 

[Trunks]

the guns they have thought they seem liek the olden days are actually more moden. they are projected by damn forgot.. all i know is it aint gunpowder sendin em shootin off

 

[libelula]

I look at it this way if I can overlook the fact that there happens to be all these colonized earths with no evidence of sentient ETs then I can overlook the guns.
Ps: how did they colonize the earth's? good old fashion terriforming?
