Throughout the episode Jayne is wearing a Blue Sun
t-shirt.
According to the Firefly Role-Playing Game Core Book, the
derelict transport ship found by the Serenity crew is a Pogo-class
short range transport.
| At 6:02 on the DVD, it can be
seen that Jayne has a tattoo on his
left shoulder. It looks like a
dragon holding something similar to
the yin-yang symbol (the symbol of
the interconnectedness of
opposites). |

A tricycle is seen on the derelict at 7:36 on the DVD, a quick
indication that there had been children on board.
At 8:52 on the DVD, the greenscreen monitor on the derelict is
blurry but can just barely be read. Nothing too interesting, just
passenger communiqués.
Kaylee refers to the commander of the Alliance cruiser as a "purple
belly". This is a reference to the purplish body armor worn by
Alliance troopers.
The commander of the Alliance cruiser is Commander Harken. According
to the Firefly Role-Playing Game Core Book, the Alliance
cruiser is the I.A.V. Cronenberg; Possibly, the
Cronenberg
is a reference to film writer and director David Cronenberg.
Notice that at 31:50 on the DVD, one of the soldiers searching
Serenity tosses aside a large carnosaur toy...obviously part of
Wash's stash!
Notice that in Jayne's quarters, the soldiers find all sorts of
hidden weapons.
I love the scene where River is delightedly looking at the expanse
of stars as she and her brother are hiding on the outer hull of
Serenity!
