*** The scene where Crow gets introduced to ''Serenity's'' engine intake is likely to have this effect. A hero killing an unarmed, defeated villain for refusing an offer (and [[OffingTheMouth a little bit of mouthing off]]), can be shocking. Following that up by taking the next mook, planting him in the exact same spot, and starting to give him the same offer delivered in exactly the same tone, with said mook rushing to agree with the hero before he's even finished a sentence is pretty hilarious.

** ''Film/AlienResurrection'', as pointed out by Michael Marano in the essay ''River Tam and the Weaponized Women of the Whedonverse''. ''Firefly'' and ''Resurrection'' share many character archetypes and plot elements (notably the "Weaponized Woman" in the form of Clone Ripley and River Tam). It's evident that Joss Whedon had his work on ''Resurrection'' in the back of his mind while he was working on this series.

* A lot of the more [[BlackComedy sadistic jokes]] like the gory and [[SurprisinglySuddenDeath sudden]] demise of characters, take on an uncomfortable light in the wake of Creator/JossWhedon being exposed for [[PrimadonnaDirector abusive behaviour]], even turning one instance of having made a crewmember cry into an anegdote, making these scenes feel like he was [[AuthorAppeal indulging himself.]]

** Between Kaylee and Inara and Kaylee and River, with the former especially noticeable in "[[Recap/FireflyE10WarStories War Stories]]", the latter in "[[Recap/FireflyE01Serenity Serenity]]" and "[[Recap/FireflyE14ObjectsInSpace Objects In Space]]".

Inara is canonically bisexual and is close friends with Kaylee, a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak who is often curious about Inara's business as a [[HighClassCallGirl Companion]], and there's a rather intimate, though platonic, scene of Inara brushing Kaylee's hair in "[[Recap/FireflyE02TheTrainJob The Train Job]]" with her Companion {{leitmotif}} playing over it.

If it's deliberate, it's Homoerotic Subtext. Ho Yay is about fan interpretations. Les Yay is also a redirect to Ho Yay so I combined them.


*** Niska is an awful person through and through, but you can't help chuckling when he grumbles resignedly about how he's going to get an earful from his wife at dinner for killing her nephew (the upside-down corpse he showed Mal as a warning not to screw with him).

** According to Creator/AdamBaldwin, there would have been deliberate HoYay between Simon and Jayne if the series had not been canceled. Creator/SeanMaher also stated in a convention interview that he believed Simon had a crush on Jayne, something that would likely have been used in a future storyline.
