For some reason, Kaylee appears to be wearing a pink bikini
while installing new thrusters on Serenity in her single
appearance in panel 4 of page 2 in this story.
In panel 3 of page 4 of the story, the crashed Alliance ship
appears to have been the I.A.V. Phantasm.
In this story, we see some Alliance land vehicles not previously
seen.
River calls Shepherd Book "old man" throughout the story.
On page 7 of the story, Zoe accuses Book of acting like
Revelations is about to happen. "Revelations" refers
to the last book of the New Testament of the Bible, The
Book of Revelation, containing apocalyptic visions and
prophecies about the end times and the final judgment of
humanity.
Throughout this story, Jayne is paranoid that he is being left
behind on the planet because of something he did. He mentions to
Mal, "If this is about the money, I've learned my lesson!" Mal
doesn't know what he's talking about, but the implication seems
to be that Jayne stole some money from the ship and has a guilty
conscience about it.
On page 18 of the story, Book begins reciting the opening lines
of the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi. The full prayer is:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. |
