The best way to get mentioned on The Signal is to send us an email. signal@serenityfirefly.com. Pre-recorded audio emails are the most likely to be published, but if you have an interesting Firefly or conversion story those are next in line.

It was fun meeting you and Kari, Les! And thanks for the kind words on the podcast about the Big Damn Trailer, my site is smoldering from all the traffic you've sent this way.
Keep up the great work!

sorry for the late response. I've had sooooooo much work to do in the past week.
anyways, this is the 9th episode of THE SIGNAL. Both Les and Kari do this show at Dragon-Con. This is the first time that they've met in person.
this week: -in defense of the train job
- The Science of Firefly part 2
- "going down with the ship" music from "Out of Gas"
my views on "in defense of the train job":
1) you can't throw "the train job" out of the firefly line up because that's when Nishka first appears.
2) i loved the holographic window!!!
3) i loved the idea of a train being robbed from a spaceship.
news:
-Versal should also make a firefly game for playstation 2
-shiny: a firefly role playing game
-the new movie site: www.serenitymovie.com
-the 4th session of the River Tam file is out
chinese:
hoo dawn: bastard 
My views on "The Science of Firefly part 2":
- he misses the point. 
Inara meant to say that it takes less than a pound of pressure on a sharp edge to draw blood. She was implying that when she directed Mal's hand with the sword in it.
- I checked the defenitions of an amygdula and a hypocantis and he is right about those. it's vert intriguing. One reason Simon said the amygdala instead of the hypocantis might be that in the future and/or in the Firefly Universe, those two things could play a different role in the brain or they might have figured out that they were wrong before in the 21st century. If anyone knows why they did this or has any speculation, please reply.
- the reason Simon didn't put everybody else to sleep in OoG is because if he had everyone on the ship would have died anyway (no one would have been there to fix the ship or figure out a way to fix the ship)
- i agree with him about the whole Tracy situation.
- i don't believe that anything is impossible. Therefore, being a reader is not nonsense. everything cannot be explained by science!!!
Music section:
i love that piece of music!!!
miscellaneous:
- chris doyle's model of serenity out of lego:
go to www.serenityfirefly.com, then go to shownotes.
let me just say: it truly is shiny and awesome.
- i love the blue sun commercials!!!
- if you want to see THE BIG DAMN TRAILER go to,

- listen to podcast 411 if you want to hear Les and Kari be interviewed.

THE SIGNAL
Show #10 - September 14th 2005
THIS WEEK:
- Review of "Bushwhacked"
- What's in a Name, part 2
- the Ballad of Serenity, instrumental
MISCELANEOUS:
- Guess what: THE SIGNAL is now #1 now at BOTH www.podcastpickle.com AND www.podcastalley.com. Good job, travelers!!
- I feel like Firefly and Serenity is getting sooooooooo popular that I will soon be accused of cursing and saying words in Chinese just to go along with the crowd. LOL
- Serenity role playing game: really awesome but BEWARE: there are spoilers
- I’d also like to mention to people that there has been an article on Firefly and Serenity in the latest Entertainment Weekly – the September 16, 2005 edition.
REVIEW OF "BUSHWACKED”:
- a good review
- it’s sooooo funny that Wash’s interegation was completely improvised.
- I love River’s face and how she reacts to being out in space. (I also find Simon’s reaction funny – pure terror)
NEWS FROM THE VERSE:
- 12 new screenings of Serenity are taking place in the UK and Ireland
- see shownotes at www.serenityfirefly.com to view a new international Serenity poster
- 1 screening of Serenity has been announced for Austrailia
- the fan movie "Mosquito" is now available for download (see shownotes)
- the 3rd Firefly comic is out
HOW TO SPEAK CHINESE:
- didn’t speak Chinese – but talked about the Chinese writing
- looking at Jayne’s chest – I LIKE!!!! … oh wait – the shirts. Oh well.
o The shirt in “The train job” - it says "soldier"
o The shirt in “jaynestown” – it says "trouble maker" or "rascal"
o The shirt in “safe,” “out of gas,” and “war stories” - it says "the militant elves" or "the fighting elves" (… okay…) awesome: Jayne’s a fan of Lord of the Rings!!! LOL (lots of laughs) x DOWL (doubled over with laughter)
o The shirt in “heart of gold” - it says "perfect cat" (what?)
o The shirt in “trash” – it says "dumb as a wooden chicken paralyzed by fear" (oh yeah that’s Jayne)
GORILLA MARKETING SECTION:
- We still need to do our bit to market Serenity and Firefly.
- Use word of mouth and internet.
WHAT’S IN A NAME - part 2:
- recap:
o simon: “he who listens”
o zoe: “life-giving”o kaylee: “pure happiness”
o wash: “the washing stream”
- Shepherd Mariah Book:
o Mariah: “rebellious one” (Hmmmm)
- Jayne Cobb:
o Cobb: “whole” ‘head” - Jayne really doesn’t have a “whole head,” does he?
- Inara Sarah: (a very appropriate name for Inara)
o Sarah: “evening,” found in the word Saranade.
o Inara: “ray of light,” “lady of the sky”
- Mal Reynolds
o Reynolds: comes from Reganold - “strong ruler,” “strong counselor.” Also related to the name Renard: the fox that out-foxed the government.
if you have any ideas on these interesting names, please post a reply. i'd love to know what you think because i am very interested in analyzing them.
THE SIGNAL - listen to it and live by it, travelers.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.
(grrrrrrrrrrr.....arrrrrgggg)
