In the episode, 'The Message', River and Book are carrying sticks with a ball on it. Jayne called it an ice planet. What would that be made up of? Maybe their version of a candy apple? Anyone have any idea.

Do you think I'm a complete back birth!

Script says it's ice cream in a bowl-shaped cookie. The string is attached to the cookie. Ice cream, hence the ice planet.

I heard somewhere on one of these posts that it was a nod to something from Titan AE, or something like that. I think they sound yummy. If you get a chance I make reference to ice planet eating in my ten things I learned from Firefly posting. (spoilers)

Not to mention the whole post is quite hi-larious for any newcomers to check out. Plus it's great for a laugh for the veteran browncoats.

I suggested that "Ice Planet" was a nod to Titan A.E., a movie whose script was toiled on by both Joss Whedon and his co-exec producer Ben Edlund. The original title of Titan A.E. was Planet Ice (and for those who've seen that movie, the original title does mean something).

History repeats the old conceits
