Nerd Realizations for the First Part of this Week

1. Around the 1 hour, 19 minute mark of the Firefly pilot, Wash flies Serenity past the Reavers. When we see them celebrate, Wash is not holding a stick but instead thin air – the camera was panned too wide

2. Flint Marco and Alex O’Hirn are friends and thugs in Spectacular Spider-Man. Flint…Sand? O’Hirn….Rhino? It’s funny the liberties that they took with the series. Rhino was originally named Aleksei Sytsevich in the comics. He was one of those super-soldier types. (But, then again, who wasn’t at one time or another?) Robbing banks vs. Capture Col. Jameson for national secrets

The Haiku
Those super-soldiers
wacky with motivation -
Bank? Secret? Same diff.
