Or you could, you know, pick up the Firefly DVD set and watch the actual "Ariel" ep
Yah, I could - and indeed, I shall, here at some point. But I already have HfRO, and it's always amusing to see the earlier - or later - incarnations of things. That was one of the clever elements of the original Star Trek - they had to watch every penny, and things were adapted and re-used ruthlessly.
Except, oddly enough, for the phaser rifle from the second pilot. In all these years, I have never learned why such a cool, time-and-labor-expensive prop disappeared, never to be used or even seen again...
