The actual show begins at 00:37, try starting your sync at that point. I know that isn't the best solution, but moving on we are going to TRY to add in a DVD sync although we will be doing it pretty blind so you will have to let us know if it works for you.

2022-09-12 20:34:58 +0000 UTCI can't sync this because the version you're watching apparently has an expository intro that is not present on my DVD version.

2022-08-25 12:01:43 +0000 UTCYou didn’t talk about it but did you notice or make the connection between River saying “hands of blue….. two by two” over and over again and the two men at the end with blue gloves?

2022-08-24 19:52:29 +0000 UTCThe first pilot ("Serenity") was 90 minutes because it was intended to be aired as a two-part episode, and not watched all at once. When the first pilot was rejected by the network and the 2nd pilot ("The Train Job") authorized, they only had time to write the new script over the course of a single weekend. Time was taken in this episode for exposition and introducing the characters because it was assumed that the original 90-minute pilot would not be aired (and it wasn't, until the end). Some of the villains in the early episodes show up again in later episodes, but I'm not going to spoil anything by saying which ones. As someone already pointed out, the use of Mandarin has an in-universe justification, but it also provided a of way slipping some very colorful language past the network sensors.

2022-08-23 18:23:05 +0000 UTCShout out to Josh, fellow D&D player. Glad you chose this series; I haven't watched it in about 15 years. It's nice to revisit it. As for the Mandarin Chinese, you nailed it. Joss Whedon decided that everyone in this future would have learned it because the Chinese at some time in Earth's past would have become the dominant economic-social culture.
