It's strange to me that some folks consider the characters' full name to be spoilers. Really, they're not! (Am I spoiling just by saying that?)
Some of the previously unknown character names do come up in "Serenity," but it's so fleeting that the people I saw it with couldn't agree what some of them were. "Derrial" sounds good, but we all thought it was something different!

The fact that many of us are/were hoping to see more background on Book (arguably one of the most puzzling characters on the series) in the movie and then be told that "Well his name sounded somehting like 'Derrial' but it was so fleeting" (hence a small part of hte movie) is indeed a spoiler in my book. I am the admin for the Soulful Spike Society website and message board ( www.soulfulspike.com) which is spoiler free in it's main areas and that comment would indeed be considered "spoiler-ish." It would be deleted or edited out, with a friendly letter sent to the poster as to "why" with directions for it to be posted in the Spoilers area. Of course that's the way we do things there. On this board I am a regular schmo and am merely replying as how I see and feel about it.

I always thought Badger was just being poetical. The platoon name isn't actually mentioned in the series, as far as I recall.

MAL: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

By our military parlance 57th Overlanders would be the division with in which you would have several brigades. For example the 101 Airborne is made up of 5 combat brigades which are each made up of several companies which are made up of 2-3 platoons which are made up of usually 2 squads which are made up of about 6 soldiers.

They don't have Zoe's last name up, she's just listed as "Zoe". Or was her last name ever actually established? I'm confused.

In the Browncoat trivia section of the serenitymovie web site, I was just asked for Zoe's last name. Warren wasn't an option. As a guess, I picked "Alleyne". It said I was right. Go figure.

Mal was indeed a member of the 57th Overlanders which, from what I've gathered, was nicknamed the "Balls & Bayonets Brigade".
