Don't know if it's what you're after, but some of the canned announcements aboard Serenity were in Cantonese. I'm referring to the warnings about the oxygen levels in OoG. This was, however, something of a continuity error; all the Chinese in Firefly was supposed to be Mandarin.

Ironically, according to an article I recently read, Cantonese is becoming a dying tongue. It was once common in American Chinatowns because many early Chinese immigrants spoke it, but today it's being replaced by Mandarin. In China itself, Mandarin is the official language and is the only one taught in schools.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Q: In "The Message" there is a hidden Star Wars reference. Name where it is.


This is just a guess, but is it the chase scene on the planet? It seems rather reminiscent to Luke's run through the Death Star.

If that's right (which I'm still not sure about ), then here's my question:
Who is River referring to when she says "she's a liar and no good will come of her"?

No power in the 'verse can stop me!

Is it Saffron? It's a line from Trash, isn't it? Is she referring to Saffron?

Okay, my question. Name two of the four girls Kaylee talks to at the 'Shindig'.

The answer is: When Kaylee is sitting in her hammock listening to Tracey's message, you can see a figurine of Cryo-Han Solo on the shelf above her.

One of them is Banning (or is it Fanning?) Miller (the girl who gets insulted by the gentleman. I can remember two of the other girl's names Astrid (I think) and Zoe (without the 'e' sound on the end). If I am right, gold star for me!

Here is my question:
Mudder's milk is what percent alcohol?

Most people think it's Saffron, but River actually has another person in mind. Good guess though.
