Firefly (2002) - 7 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Corrections

Show season: Whole show 1 All

Serenity (2) (series 1)

Kaylee gets shot in the stomach and rushed to the infirmary, where Simon works on her for some hours. Then, once she's stabilized, Mal goes and opens Simon's shipping container, in which his sister is stashed. Several scenes later, Kaylee finally wakes up from her anesthesia while Mal is with her, and makes some comment about how pretty River is lying there, even though she (Kaylee) has been unconscious the entire time River's been out of the crate. She should be asking who this stranger is. [It's blatantly obvious throughout that scene that Kaylee's doped to the gills, so she's not exactly firing on all cylinders. Even if she wasn't, Kaylee's about the most easy-going person on the ship, and it seems entirely in character for her to observe how pretty River is before worrying about who she actually is, particularly as, given that the girl's asleep in the sickbay, she's clearly not an imminent threat to the crew or ship.]

Ariel (series 1)

When Wash and Kaylee are in the junk yard, Wash picks up an engine part and kicks it. If you look closely, you can see that this is the same part that fails in "Out of Gas". [No, it isn't. The piece Wash throws (not kicks, by the way) is a completely different piece. In "Out of Gas" the engine part that fails is a Y-shaped tube. In "Ariel" the piece is very obviously F-shaped when you freeze frame.]

When Simon is using the defibrillator paddles on the post-operative patient in the hospital on Ariel, he is not holding onto the rubber handles of the paddles when he says "Clear." to have the nurse administer the first shock. Rather, he is holding onto the metal ends of the paddles right next to the shock pads. This means that he would have shocked himself as well as the patient. [That would be true today, but the show is set several hundred years in the future. It is entirely possible in that time they have paddles that are completely safe except on the flat pads themselves.]

Time

When leaving the hospital on Ariel, Jayne is arrested along with Simon and River. His hands are cuffed behind his back. However, when he is stunned by the police officer a moment later and falls to the ground, his hands are in front of him and there is no sign of the cuffs. [The cuffs are not on Jayne, yet. He breaks free before they have him fully cuffed.]

Time

Out of Gas (series 1)

During the commentary for Shindig, one of the costume designers comments on the leather bands Zoe wears around her neck, saying that they are a symbol of her marriage to Wash, which is why she 'never takes them off'. However, in the flashback scene showing the first meeting between Zoe and Wash, she is wearing the bands. [So she was wrong in the commentary. Or, she was right. The commentary is not part of the show, so no mistake.]

Corrected by Rlvlk Time

Although the premise of the episode is the complete failure of Serenity's major systems (life support, navigation, etc.), the gravity stays on throughout the episode. "Stays on," because a ship would require a major, operational electromagnetic system to mimic gravity - or it would need to be in a controlled spin - either of which option would fail as the rest of the ship did. As well as freezing and asphyxiating, by the rules of the episode, Mal and the others should be floating throughout. [How is there gravity in the ship? Is it an active system (requiring power) or a passive system (always on)? It is never mentioned, in the brief series, how they maintain gravity on ships. The series is set hundreds of years into the future. You can't guess what future technology might be invented.]

Our Mrs. Reynolds (series 1)

Who would have thought that Serenity could have been damaged so badly so easily? In less than 30 seconds, Saffron pulls one cluster of wires and connects two others and manages to disable the ship to the point that Wash and Kaylee need a lot of time to fix it. [As stated in the show, Saffron was very prepared and practiced in many arts, including mucking navigation systems. While she only took a few steps to lock down Serenity, she knew the steps to do it the quickest.]
