I read somewhere that it was Warren...

That's Kaylee's last name. Perhaps Zoe is a "take-my-mechanic's-last-name" type. :-)

During the war of independence, Mal enlisted on the independent side, fighting against the Alliance as a sergeant in the 57th Overlanders.

I'd love to say something here - in regard to something I spotted in the pre-screening of the movie to this effect - but since there's a strong possibility of getting yelled at, ask me offline if you want to know and I'll tell you. Same goes for the "Derrial Book" business, but I won't reveal that on pain of denying myself chocolate for the rest of my life.

I think the episode guides they have up are very spoilerish. I wouldn't send someone who hasn't seen the series to this site, and shouldn't it be a site for just that? I guess that's just my opinion.

True, they do reveal quite a bit, but there's a lot that they don't reveal either - like what kind of shape Jayne was in when he was protesting the return of the goods.

I would suggest getting converts to see the pilot first, then send them off on their own if they like. Case in point: Carnivale. I have the first season on DVD, just found out it's been cancelled after the second season, but haven't seen it yet because I won't pay for HBO (I prefer to buy books). The episode guide for Carnivale was helpful for me to get an idea of where the series was going without having to spare the expense of renting.

However, it's not and will never be the same as seeing the episodes themselves.

On the upside, if the Episode guide is anything to go by, they're showing the episodes in the "correct" sequence.

And the graphic on the front page not doing much to maintain the mystery of what's in the doctor's suspiciously large metal box...

Um... isn't that self-same image in the introduction anyway?

I wish they'd take that big square "Battlestar Galactica" graphic out of there! Takes away from our BDHs! Do a banner if they have to...

Square?

Checking… nope, don't see the square. Mine has "Constantine" not BG. I'd MUCH rather have BG.

One time I was talking to a husband and wife about the new BG and the husband mentioned how he liked how dark it was. On a notion, I asked if he had ever seen a show called Firefly. Their simultaneous response:

Him: "That's the best show EVER!!!"
Her: "It never got the chance it deserved!!!"

Mal's Bio is very aptly written: He remains a born leader, and is fanatically dedicated to his crew. He is not, however, a born strategist, and his plans often tend to go a bit wonky. Still, he inspires fierce loyalty in his people.

That's our Mal, in a nutshell.

Gotta say, I'm surprised by how excited I am to see this site. Just seeing all that sweetness - not archived, not vestigial, not sentimental, but current. Relevant. Today. Now. Shiver.

As to the spoilerific stuff - even that kind of excites me, because it reminds me that people will be catching "Firefly" by accident, on random episodes, and could appreciate that kind of information to catch 'em up. And honestly, how many times have you watched each episode? Knowing what comes next or not, it is still a great ride.

My only nit pick: As Inara tells the Alliance commander in Bushwhacked, "It's just Serenity."

IMDB's site on "Serenity" lists Zoe's last name as Warren (and everyone else's last name, i.e. Inara Serra).

NOTE: Other recent threads have noted a major spoiler in the Trivia section of IMDB's Serenity site, but it is no longer there. Although I wouldn't go into the quotes area if you want to avoid all spoiler possibilities...

Here's the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/

Wash's full name is Hoban Washburn. This is confirmed in the movie "Serenity".

If this is in reply to Zoe's last name being Warren, let's keep in mind that it's not necessarily mandatory for a wife to take her husband's last name now, let alone 500 years from now.

Nobody ever mentions Zoe's last name... not even Zoe. Mal never used it (Warren or anything else) when introducing her. In fact, he seldom used last names at all.

Makes me wonder if there isn't some reason for that. Whether Zoe chose to go without a last name, or if using it will somehow get her into trouble with the feds? We really don't know that much about her background. Yes, she was raised in space, on a ship, but aside from that it's like she simply appeared during the war. How is it no one ever speculates about that?

I have no idea if Zoe took Wash's last name. I was just stating that Wash's last name is Washburn, not Warren.
