(2)If you post an answer....you must post a new question. Otherwise, make it as hard (where did Monty get "Pinched"?)or as easy (who plays Inara?)as you want... I'll start off with an easy one...

I wanted to post that answer quickly before someone beat me to it, but I return now with the next question, probably a bit harder than the first.

In the episode "Ariel," Mal has written on his arm the names of the drugs Simon recommended them stealing from the hospital. What is the only one of them that was a made up word, not a real medicine?

I know the first one....A Capisson 38 engine. Cuz they fall right outta the sky!

As for the second one...I have no idea whatsoever. I've never heard that they're actually real ones. But--I'm guessing here-- maybe hydrozlepan? Or however it's spelled?

You can't ask imaginary or speculative questions! They have to have a verifiable answer that you know!

Alright, here’s a question that any hardcore Browncoat should know, but that would probably befuddle the less faithful:

What deceptively worthless engine part does Wash pick up and subsequently throw away while in the junk yard on Ariel, in the episode “Ariel?”

I believe the answer is Propoxin. I've watched enough ER to hear the others mentioned

Ok... How many times throughout the series does Cappy get shot?

ECGORDON

Sunday, January 8, 2006 3:49 PM

That's great, Ryce. I was just about to reword the question since it is possible that all the others were not real medicines as well, so I was going to ask what the last one on the list was.

It is Fillioxalyn, which I think is so obviously based on Fillion, and was something Nathan added himself as a joke.

I remember the scene you're talking about but I'm not precisely certain which episode it's in. Possibly Serenity after the escape from the Reavers. If I'm right, I'll post a new question.

Also, Amnon, the guy from The Message, was also Jewish. Or space Jew. Or sp-Jew as Alan called him on the episode commentary.

I think I know this one. They disabled the hydraulics to the port engine, but it is the one that reverses when Wash pulls the lever, and it should be the starboard engine that reverses.

One is the Magellan (I think) the other is the Dortmunder? Maybe?

In case I am actually, right, here is my question. To my recollection, Zoe always uses a shotgun (either her sawed off one of a full size shotgun) when involved in gunfights EXCEPT for one instance. In which episode does this occur?

Its not actually a shotgun, its a carbine rifle but still :)

Anyway, i cant remember one single fight where she doesnt use it.

In the pilot when fighting off Patience she uses her 6 shooter in the beginning, but fires one shot from the carbine in the end :)

Interesting. What is the difference between a shotgun and a carbine rifle? Also, do you mean her little sawed off dealie is a rilfe? Interesting. :) I think my question must have been kind of stupd because I was thinking of War Stories when the crew goes to rescue Mal. After shooting a guy with what I thought was a shotgun she does a little roll on the ground and pulls out two handguns and shoots the next guy. Of course, you are right. In Serenity she is using a machine gun.

Okay, bad question from me.

You're both almost right. Watch closely, and you'll see that the shots of the port engine flipping are in the wrong order. (When Wash hits the button, we see the engine spin and ignite aft - the 'right' way! Serenity goes through the Crazy Ivan, then we see the engine spin again to ignite forward - the 'wrong' way!)

I believe he refers to it as the Roller Coaster shot, and it was done with a handheld camera if I remember the commentary correctly.

I have no idea on the other two.

Is it Our Mrs. Reynolds?

And Jayne calls Wasn "Little man" In Objects in Space (You wanna go, little man?) and in Bushwacked, when they're playing Spaceball.

As for the animal in Serenity, if you're talking about the Pilot episode, there are horses and chickens at least. If you're talking about the movie, there's an inguana/lizard-looking thing. (I know because I looked for it after seeing the "Animal Wrangler" in the credits

)

dianaspr out of curosity, when does she speak in Train Job?

Here's what I've come up with trying to remember eps where River speaks.

In Serenity(the pilot) she screams and says "Simon"

Bushwacked : she screams a lot and tells Simon they're coming back as he leading her to the gally where the reaver is.

Shindig: "Sad little king of a sad little hill."

Safe: Talks to the cows, the teacher, Sioman, Mal

Jaynestown: "His brains are in terrible danger!"

Out of Gas "Day is a vestigial mode of time measurment . . ."

Ariel "Copper for a Kiss"

War Stories: "No power in the verse. . ."

Trash : "Also, I can Kill you with my brain."

The Message "My food is problematic."

Heart of Gold: "I wonder who's in there."

Objects in Space: "Serenity is not happy Early"

so that leaves Our Mrs. Reynolds where River dosen't talk.

In The Train Job, she rattles on about the ship. "Mid-bulk transport, classification blah blah blah..." Plus the introduction of the ever-present, "Two by two.. hands of blue..." at the end.

I was in fact talking about the movie, though I guess I should have been more specific. And yes, it was an aguana, and I noticed it for the same reason. One wounders how much wrangling an aguana needs? I mean, their small little lizzards....... well sometimes big little lizzards, but same diff.

Jayne calls Wash "little man" in Train Job when he wants to go to the rendezvous without the Captain and Zoe: "And these are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me."

And wow, I totally never noticed that River doesn't talk in Our Mrs. Reynolds. That's nuts!

Jayne is on Wash's team when they play basketball.

And: You wanna go, little man?
Wash: Only if it has candlelight...

So I was way off on that one. Cooooool!

A+, soapboxer. For your question:

"No it ain't. Ain't nothin' wrong with you grav boot. I seen the problem plain as day when I was down there on my back before..."

The problem is some other part (damn, can't remember!), but Kaylee figures you don't even need it, as it tends to get tacked and gum up the works. So why have one? Just connect the G-line straight into something or other, and it works like a dream.

She fixed it (wasn't really broke).

Here's one:

One of the major themes of Firefly is the influence of Asian culture, particularly Chinese. How many East Asian actors have speaking parts in the series? How many in the movie?

To the Kaylee/Bester question: I believe the problem was with the 'Right-Couple'.

To Sik: It's kinda strange, but to my knowledge, it seems there hasn't been so much as a one.

If that's right: How many Alliance Federals poured into that hole at the end of the Big Damn Movie?

Back to River not speaking in "Our Mrs. Reynolds", she did have a scene but it was cut. If you haven't "scene" it, watch it - very, very funny because she is "in the family way".

I think the non-screwing up BDH is Ron Glass but I may be mistaken.

Ah, yes, the couple-thing! I heard "rate couple," but "reg couple" is plausible as well. Anybody know offhand what the script says?

As far as I can tell, there was exactly one East Asian actor with a speaking part in the series (as noted, in Heart of Gold) and exactly one in the movie (one of the assistants in the lab scene, who had one or two lines).

As hard as it is for Asian actors to find good roles in Hollywood, I find this to be a pretty serious failing of our beloved 'Verse. But anyway!

Yeah, that cut scene in Our Mrs. Reynolds is hilarious.

Caper, as I understand it, the magistrate was "taking every dollar and leaving five cents."

No idea about the number of federals or the non-screwing-up BDH, although I did find it weird that the alliance soldiers in The Train Job, who are stated to number around 20, are referred to as a "regiment."

Hi everyone! I'm new (to all of this, including the show/movie) and as I think every question has been answered (if not, let us all know - it gets confusing out here) I have a question for the group.

What can stop Kaylee's cheerful, optimistic mood?

JAMESTHEDARK

According to Captain Tightpants: "Ain't a power in the 'Verse can stop Kaylee for bein' cheerful."
He then goes on to proscribe a theory which he knows will be unsuccessful, in "Make's ya want to duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month."

Zoe's necklace (supposedly) symbolizes her marriage with Wash.

(However, if this is true, there is a continuity error in "Out of Gas" where she is wearing it the first time she meets him.)

JAYTEE

Saturday, January 14, 2006 10:42 PM

that would be Mal's homeworld, the moon Shadow. Between that and Serenity Valley it kinda explains why he isn't so fond of the Alliance but then who would be except some gorram purplebellies.

Assuming I'm right here's my question:
What kind of ship are the Reavers flying in the pilot episode Serenity. NOT THE MOVIE, the two part pilot of the series.

I'd say it's "No! No! Run!" when he sees Zoe enter Niska's torture chamber, but surely that's a matter of opinion. Perhaps not entirely suitable as a trivia question...?

About the sonic rifle: I'm thinking 3. Once by a federal at Jayne in Ariel, once by Jayne at the door, and once by Mal at a fed he took it from in Trash.

The Chinese sign, no clue.

What's the source on the bit about Shadow being rendered uninhabitable during the war? I've never heard that, and it seems pretty important for Mal's character.

THESOAPBOXER

Sunday, January 15, 2006 10:53 PM

I believe that the sign in "Shindig" originally said, "Not responsible for mechanical failure," or something like that.

The only official source I've been able to find regarding Shadow's destruction is in Joss' Memo "A Brief History of the Universe, circa 2507 A.D." found in the Visual Companion. In it he says that five years into the war, Mal's homeplanet was "destroyed."

My question: On what day of the week did the trade station heist on Lilac (in the BDM) take place?

Sunday, cuz they hit town during Sunday worship, so there wouldn't be any crowds.

And also, to the question of what characters our BDH played on Joss's other shows, Summer played the Prima Ballerina in ep 3.13 of Angel, "Waiting in the Wings".

Throughout the series, how many times do we see Kaylee in a dress? Bonus points for naming the episodes.
