From Quiz "Serenity": Phraseology on "Firefly"

Answer: just fine, perfect, satisfactory

"Shiny" is used by many characters in both the TV series and the film. Kaylee is responding to Mal's complaint of the primary buffer panel breaking off his ship. He follows that up with "My ship don't crash. If she crashes, you crashed her."

3. "Let's be bad guys."

From Quiz "Serenity": Who Said It?

Answer: Jayne

Jayne is the muscle of the crew. He is usually only concerned with what will profit him and is no stranger to doing whatever it takes to get it. He says this to Mal right before they are about to rob the Alliance payroll. He says it so nonchalantly that you know he has no mixed emotions about "being a bad guy."

4. The movie starts with an introduction of how the "Earth that was" no longer exists, so everyone from Earth has moved to a new solar system. What is the process of creating new Earths, capable of sustaining human life, called?

From Quiz Serenity

Answer: Terra-forming

"Serenity" is set 500 years in the future and is based on the assumption that the global population continues to grow until the Earth can no longer sustain the numbers. Therefore the two superpowers of the time, the US and China, form an alliance, venture out into space, and find a new solar system. Terra-forming was the process that made these new planets capable of sustaining human life. There is a cool shot of this in the movie.

5. Who is watching a hologram of the Tams escaping?

He then kills the doctor who was working on River during the escape, as well as the guards. He made it look so easy, you could tell a tough fight was coming for Serenity's crew.

6. As a child, what does River say that the Alliance does to the Outer Planets?

From Quiz "Serenity" For Browncoats

In the beginning of the film, we see a young River at school on an Alliance planet. As a child, River feels that the Alliance sticks its nose where it isn't wanted, causing anger and resentment from the Outer Planets.

7. Mal: "I look out for me and mine. That don't include you 'less I conjure it does." "Conjure" is used to mean what?

From Quiz "Serenity": Phraseology on "Firefly"

Answer: think, come to mind, believe

Mal uses "conjure" on a few occasions. Mal is having yet another argument with Simon regarding Simon's sister, River. Since they met, Mal has threatened to kick Simon and River off his ship, and almost succeeds, on occasion.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds and First Mate Zoe Alleyne fought together in the war side-by-side with the Independents, and finally lost to the Alliance in the bloody Battle of Serenity Valley.

9. When Simon confronts Mal, in the opening of the movie, what does Mal think Simon is feeling?

From Quiz "Serenity", the "Firefly" Movie

Answer: Fear

Mal misinterprets the emotion on Simon's face as fear about the ship's rocky entry. Simon is furious that River is going on a heist with them and says, "If I was afraid, I imagine my eyes would be slightly wider." Mal's response? "I'll look for that next time."

10. Just before Simon breaks River out, what does he say that she always liked to do?

Simon, a promising doctor, is posing as a member of The Alliance Parliament, to break his sister out of a facility where she is the subject of inhumane experiments.

Kaylee Frye, played by Jewel Staite, is the female mechanic of the ship. Kaylee is in love with Simon, the doctor.

From Quiz "Serenity": Who Said It?

Simon's sister, River, has been involuntarily submitted to experimental research. So Simon impersonates a government official sent to check on the research progress, in order to rescue her. While speaking to the doctor in charge of the research, the doctor asks why the government was sending someone to check in on him. To which Simon replies, "Am I making you nervous?"

14. After being chased by Reavers, Simon asks River, "Are you alright?" What is her response?

From Quiz "Serenity", the "Firefly" Movie

Answer: "I swallowed a bug."

Simon is worried that River has been hurt, but she is completely unaffected by the whole ordeal of nearly being caught by Reavers. Her response of something so trivial when she nearly died is quite amusing. Still, Simon punches Mal for putting her in so much danger.

15. According to The Operative, what is Dr. Mathias' greatest sin?

The Operative is a cold blooded killer, sent in to track down River and Simon. After he tells the Doctor this, he arranges it so that Dr. Mathias "falls" onto his sword.

16. Girl 2: "Reavers aren't real." Boy 2: "Full well they are." How is "full well" being used in this context?

From Quiz "Serenity": Phraseology on "Firefly"

Answer: absolutely, undoubtedly

Full well is used commonly in a different context but I like what Joss Whedon did here. In this scene, we see a much younger River and her classmates arguing the finer points of the existence of Reavers during a lesson.

17. When River's subliminal trigger is activated, what name or word does she say?

Miranda is the name of a distant planet, beyond Reaver territory, that holds a dark Alliance secret. (Reavers are men who have lost their minds and gone crazy, and now kill and rape people.)

Mr. Universe is the media man of the universe.

Referring to this he tells Mal he can find any signal because, "everything goes somewhere..."

19. After the opening sequence, we are introduced to Serenity and the Crew, as they enter the planet Lilac's atmosphere. What falls off the ship, that almost causes them to crash as they enter the planet's atmosphere?

From Quiz Serenity

Answer: Primary Buffer Panel

This is our first shot of the Firefly class ship, Serenity, and her crew. We learn the layout of the ship as Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Mal) proceeds from nose to tail, interacting with his crew. Through this interaction we meet the crew and learn a little about their personalities and their jobs on Serenity. We also learn that Mal is not necessarily fond of the Alliance.

20. How does Mal tell Fanti and Mingo apart?

From Quiz "Serenity", the "Firefly" Movie

Answer: Fanti's prettier

After robbing a back, Mal visits Fanti and Mingo in a bar. Fanti and Mingo are identical twins who can fool everyone but Mal. The reason he can tell them apart could be that Fanti is more attractive, but more likely Mal's just being silly.

If Mal or Inara had a Facebook account, the relationship status would read "It's complicated." In her defense, she did try to stay away.

23. What is the name of the Alliance assassin sent to track down River?

From Quiz Serenity

Answer: He had no name.

The Operative, as he was referred to, has no real name. He says so in the beginning when Dr. Mathias asks him for his clearance. Dr. Mathias then enters his ID card into the computer, and says "You have the clearance, but I see no rank or name!" and The Operative says "I have neither!"

At the culmination of the movie Mal gives an inspirational speech to his crew about the seemingly impossible task they face.
