Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The belly dancer at the bar is wearing something in her belly button. What color is it?

Answer: flashing blue and orange

The belly dancer was put in to show the cultural diversity of the 'Verse. Another thing to add to the flavor was Mal and Zoe playing Chinese Checkers.

2. When they leave the planet after the bar brawl, they fly awfully close to another heavenly body. What distinctive feature does it have?

Answer: it has rings

These two planets are awfully close. It is possible that the one they just left was actually a moon. Many of the worlds they travel to are actually moons.

Answer: grav thrust

FOX did not like the episode "Serenity" as a pilot. They demanded another pilot be written. Joss Whedon and Tim Minear wrote "The Train Job" over a weekend, doing their best to explain what happened in the original pilot without being redundant. The problem with the compression coil got mentioned again, here.

It's clear that the creators knew from the start that they wanted this problem to exist for the later episode "Out of Gas".

4. Mal puts on some of Inara's accessories, which she quickly snatches off of him. What did he put on?

Answer: fake nails

Mal coming into Inara's shuttle uninvited is a constant theme throughout the series.

5. Niska shows Mal, Zoe and Jayne the body of a man he killed. Who was this man?

Answer: Niska's wife's nephew

"Oh, you do not like I kill this man?"
"Oh, no. I'm sure he was a very bad person."
"My wife's nephew. At dinner I'm getting earful. There is no way out of that."

6. Where do Mal and Zoe get on the train?

Answer: Hancock

Niska tells them in his office that they will get on the train at Hancock and get off at Paradiso. Bowden's malady is the disease that's ailing the town. The foothills are halfway between Hancock and Paradiso.

7. Mal radios to Kaylee giving her the amount of time before she should haul up the cargo. How much time does he give her?

Answer: 15 seconds

An Alliance fed comes in and sets off Zoe's trap. The plan goes south, and only Jayne makes it off the train.

8. What medicine did they steal and how much?

Answer: 6 crates of Pescaline "D"

Hydrozapam and Ivoprovalin are both medicines that Simon mentions in "Ariel" when hiring the crew for a job. Simon says that Blastomeres are used to create synthetic organs like the ones smuggled in "The Message".

9. What was the fake name that Mal and Zoe used on the train manifest?

Answer: Raymond

They use the cover story that they are newlyweds looking for work. Mal says that they were to talk to a man named Joey Bloggs who might have work for them. But, Mal didn't know that Joey Bloggs had blown his head off 8 months back!

10. Inara claims that Mal is her indentured man to get him and Zoe out of police custody. How long does she say he still has to serve?

Answer: 3 years

"Malcolm's my indentured man with three years left in his debt. I imagine we'll have to add another six months after this little adventure."
