There is an easter egg on Disc 4 of the DVD set. On the second special features page, highlight "Joss sings the theme" and then hit the left arrow. Hit enter, and it will play a clip of Adam Baldwin singing the "Hero of Canton" song from the episode "Jaynestown." (edit)

Kaylee: (about the Jayne statue) Wherever I move to, his eyes keep... followin' me. (edit) Mal: (upon finding the statue) Jayne?
Jayne: Yeah?
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you, here, starin' at me like I owe him somethin'?
Jayne: Wishin' I could, Cap'n. (edit) (Inara's client, Fess Higgins, tells her about an upcoming hearing for a criminal)
Fess: He stole a ton of money from my dad and gave it to the poor, to my father's workers. He's become kind of a folk hero in Canton.
Inara: Go on.
Fess: Well, he's back. Apparently, he landed here yesterday.
Inara: Yesterday? (to herself) Oh, no. (to Fess) I... I know this man. He's… he just has this idiotic sense of nobility, you know? He can never just let things go. He thinks he's this hard-hearted criminal, and he can be unrelenting, but… there's a side to him that's just so…
Fess: You mean you actually know… Jayne?
(long pause)
Inara: Jayne? Jayne Cobb? You're talking about Jayne Cobb? (edit) (River is hiding from Book, freaked out by his enormous unbundled mane of white hair)
River: They say the snow on the roof is too heavy. They say the ceiling will cave in. His brains are in terrible danger.
Book: River? Please, why don't you come on out?
River: No! Can't. Too much hair.
Book: Is... is that it?
Zoë: Hell, yes, preacher. If I didn't have stuff to get done, I'd be in there with her. (edit) [sitting in a bar, listening to "The Ballad of Jayne" being sung]
Mal: Uh, Jayne?
Jayne: Yeah, Mal?
Mal: You got any light you'd like to shed on this particular development?
Jayne: No, Mal. (edit)

After the young boy takes the shot that was supposed to hit Jayne, he falls to the ground. You can see a rope attached to his left foot during this stunt and when he is falling to the ground. (edit) When Stitch points his shotgun at Mal, there is a pump action sound effect, even though he does not pump the gun. (edit) You can't take a shotgun blast for someone. A shotgun blast is a spread of pellets, even at relatively close-range. At least some of the pellets/buckshot would have gone past the guy and hit Jayne. (edit) Stitch walks upright pretty well, and manhandles Simon pretty readily, despite being locked up in a cramped box for four years. Did the Magistrate let him have daily exercise periods and all, or what? (edit) So exactly what is "Port Control"? The Serenity landed in the middle of a big open field with no signs of buildings, no one to greet them, and no indication they had to request permission to land. (edit)

River:
River interprets Book's Bible in scientific and mathematical terms. When Book removes his hair tie, his shock of white hair is very reminiscent of Albert Einstein. (edit)
