▲Taking place about six months after the [[The Movie]], the ''Serenity'' crew is strapped for cash and takes on the ridiculous job of hunting down an alien. Meanwhile, after the events of ''[[Doctor Who/2006 CS the Runaway Bride/Recap|The Runaway Bride]]'', the Doctor decides to go someplace completely new, and finds himself having to convince Mal to take him on as a passenger. So long as their ship has enough room for a blue storage shed..
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alien Blood]]: The Doctor's blood is a paler shade of red than a human's.
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
* [[Alien Invasion]]: Right after the colonies left, {{spoiler|Earth was hit with a bunch of these. The Doctor claims it's probably why the colonies have been cut off for so long}}.
* [[Always Lawful Good]]: Mokshar. Their bodies are somehow evolutionarily programmed to stop working properly if they break their own [[Actual Pacifist]]-based religious laws. {{spoiler|The [[Big Bad]], however, is pissed off enough by the Time War that he manages to subvert this... initially.}}
* [[Back
* [[Bad Liar]]: The Doctor laments his inability to lie convincingly in this regeneration several times.
* {{spoiler|[[Balancing Death's Books]]}}
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: The bad guy failed to do this. He pays for it.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: It's ''[[Trope Namer|Firefly]]'' and ''Doctor Who''. Of ''course'' there's [[Big Damn Heroes]].
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: The author mentions a couple of the odd quirks of Time Lord biology that were mentioned in the
** [[The Nth Doctor|Regeneration]].
** Two hearts.
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
** A violent aspirin allergy, from one of the Third Doctor's serials.
* [[Bring News Back]]: Zeke, the leader of a town the crew {{spoiler|saves from a few Reavers sends them a message that the village has been wiped out by an army of them before dying himself. The crew is not happy}}.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Partway through the story, the Doctor needs to wash his coat, so he empties his (very very large) pockets. Among the many things he excavates from them are {{spoiler|the last of the Christmas ornament explosives from [[Doctor Who/Recap/2006 CS the Runaway Bride
* [[The Chessmaster]]: The Doctor muses about 'getting the pawns in place' when enacting his [[Batman Gambit]].
* [[Closest Thing We Got]]: {{spoiler|The Doctor ends up needing Simon to operate on him when he gets shot. Not that Simon knows anything about Time Lord biology...}}
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: The [[Big Bad]] does this to the Doctor. The Doctor later [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|returns the favor]].
* [[Hidden in Plain Sight]]: The ''Serenity'' crew tends to forget that a giant blue box from the [[Earth-That-Was]] is sitting around in storage. [[Human Alien|The Doctor himself]] also counts, as they are supposed to be looking for an alien, but they keep getting sidetracked.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: The [[Big Bad]] at one point successfully {{spoiler|breaks into the Doctor's mind. [[Oh Crap|It's exactly what the Doctor wanted him to do]]}}.

Line 51 ⟶ 52:
{{quote|'''The Doctor''': You must be mistaken, Leftenant. The lady and I were just out for a stroll. You must have mistaken us for someone else.
'''Security Mook''': Then how do you explain the blood all over you?
'''The Doctor''': [[I Can Explain|Um...I got mugged?]] Really, you should do something about that, streets aren't even safe... You're not buying that for a minute, are you?
'''Security Mook''': Not so much.
'''The Doctor''': Well, it was worth a try. Still, kept you distracted, didn't I? And that worked very well indeed.
*Jayne proceeds to open fire* }}
* [[Irony]]: [[Human Alien|The Doctor]] is clearly enjoying himself immensely every time somebody mentions how stupid the idea of aliens is.
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* [[Masquerade]]: The enemy's base has the cover of a business. No one working there knows anything about their boss.
* [[Mind Control Device]]: See [[Hypno Trinket]] above.
* [[A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read]]: Subverted. The Doctor considers figuring out River this way, but besides [[Go Mad
* [[Mind Over Manners]]: {{spoiler|The only time the Doctor does anything with River's mind is when she explicitly allows him to}}.

{{quote|'''Mal:''' She said, and I quote, '[[A Storm Is Coming]].'
'''Inara:''' That's...vague. }}
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Once the Doctor {{spoiler|traps the [[Big Bad]] 's mind, he turns into jelly}}.
* [[Voice of the Resistance]]: Mal is recruited to be this. {{spoiler|He turns them down}}.
