If you really have to have an answer... Perhaps she could have gotten the cuffs off at anytime, but doing so didn't gain her anything until Jayne was coming in to kill her (the fact she could read minds from inside the pantry was already placed).

Actually, I was thinking she may have planted the idea for Jayne to go after her. She was still locked into the pantry, and wanted to go to the bridge.

In 'Trash' she did establish that she could kill Jayne with her brain.

No, she threatened to do so. Big difference. No sign she's ever done anything mentally besides read people.

Those are all really good. Though the Mal one reminds me more of Han Solo than of Mal.

Reviving this thread after a few months... so I was looking at IMDb's listing for Serenity, and it has this trivia item for Serenity:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/trivia

quote:
SPOILER: During the funeral scene, Kaylee wears a medallion with the Chinese symbol for marriage.
Huh??? Anyone hear anything about this? Is it true? If it's true, is it intentional, or did the movie folks just use some random Chinese symbol???

I think Mal looks more like one of the Sheens, Charlie I think, in that drawing. Still, it's good. And River looks more like Christina Ricci.

The one of Zoe is REALLY good, that's my fave.

OK, I went Googling, and found this opinion:

quote:
She is wearing the character for double happiness usually displayed at wedding banquets or marriage festivities. It does not mean marriage in of itself. (Chinese normally does not wear it as an amulet nor a good luck charm on the body.)
... which makes much more sense, yay.

I haven't read the thread yet, it's way too long and I have to say something...

I just watched Serenity for the first time. (Life prevented us from getting to the theater--not that it was in enough theaters, anyway.)

I loved the movie.... mostly. I turned to my husband within the first 10 minutes and said, "This is the best movie EVER!

But I was deeply disappointed about Wash's death. I thought it was pointless and gratuitous. And... Spoilers for Season 6 Buffy below

We already saw Joss do meaningless, pointless death with Tara in Buffy. Wash dying was stupid and made me angry. When Shepherd died, I thought that was pretty stupid, too. My husband turned to me and said, "And we love Joss's stuff why?" (or something like that.)

When Wash died it just made it even worse. It spoiled the end of the movie for me to a large degree. Yes, it was still cool, yada yada yada...but I was still grieving when the triumphant ending music started. It felt out of place.

More later.. probably.
