Hello izchan,

xiexie Ni!

thanks for the clarification.

I hope the new movie uses some of these words.

It is fun to understand even a little bit of chinese when it is used.

Cheers :)

Super super shiny!

I'm an online gamer (very dorky) and people are constantly shouting things in Chinese in my game.

I get to shout back now!

I prefer it without. I may not have known what words Wash was using, but I was in no doubt about what he meant. What FOX should have done is paid you for the right to use your pinyinary, & added it to their site. Glad to see your work in Finding Serenity.

On the other hand, subtitles would have let Joss avoid a flaw in the pilot. Mal says "shut up" in Mandarin three times, and each time everyone in hearing immediately shuts up. That is not realistic, especially with a group of nine such diverse individuals. I think Joss repeated it to give the audience a chance to decipher it for themselves.

Thanks, but 20th Century Fox Film Corp. already owns the scripts and rewrites. They also could have had Jenny Lynn, the Mutant Enemy translator, type it all up with pinyin and characters in a fairly short time (hopefully for extra pay) if anyone on the inside had wanted that.

Perhaps. Or maybe it was just done unnaturally to save time or keep the flow going, whether in Chinese or English.

Hi all. I've added some Serenity updates and reorganized the site to combine the Serenity parts with the Firefly parts. I've also added some pictures of the props from Serenity Fan Fest.

If nothing else, come find out what flavors Fruity Oaty Bars come in.

For those who missed it last month, I've moved my Firefly-Serenity sites off my ISP member site area.

Still flying.
