Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. We start with a flashback, a look into Simon and River's lives before the academy. How long ago was this?

Answer: 11 years ago

We are told that River is 18 in the movie. This would make her about 7 in this scene. And already she shows how brilliant she is.

Answer: 8.6 seconds

River: "The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems."
Mal: "See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with. Long as she does it quite-like."

3. Zoe says that if they smuggle stock again, it should be something smaller than cattle. What does Wash suggest that they smuggle?

Answer: black market Beagles

This comment spawned the creation and name of a group that makes "Firefly" merchandise. Browncoats can hang onto those little details.

Answer: Magellan

This is not useless information. Later in the episode, Book gets shot, and their only chance of saving him is to take him to this cruiser. This is where we learn there's a lot more to Book than we know. He pulls out an ident card that gets him first class treatment.

Answer: 25-a-head

Haggling over price is like a dance to men like this. River happens to be dancing herself at the same time. Summer Glau (River) was a prima ballerina before she became an actress. Her first roll was as a ballerina in Joss Whedon's second show, "Angel".

6. Another flashback, this time not as far back. Simon is trying to explain to his parents that something is wrong with River. She wrote about a ball that they never went to. Whose ball was it?

Answer: Darbanvilles'

The Friedlichs were actually brought up in the next flashback. Their parents were having dinner with them when Simon was arrested.

Answer: Greenleaf

Jiangyin was the planet that they were on when Book got shot. The other two are actual planets in the 'Verse. Most of the known planets and moons in the 'Verse can be found in the "Serenity" roleplaying book.

8. Zoe hands the Alliance officer the ship's papers. They're clearly fake, because the papers list the ship's captain as who?

Answer: Harbatkin

The other names can be found in the official replica of the ship's papers. Strangely enough, Harbatkin is not the name listed in the replica. Perhaps those papers are an updated version?

Answer: Cambersons'

Simon: "These are better than the Cambersons' berries."
River: "They are... except they're poison."

:D

10. Last flashback. Simon was doing his best to help River, but he ended up getting arrested. His very unhappy father comes to bail him out. How much did that cost?

Answer: 2000 credits

Simon learns that his father is only there for his family if things are going his way. The father he thought he had isn't there at all. Instead, he finds that in Mal when he comes back to rescue the two Tams when he had no reason other than they were on his crew. Serenity is where he found a true family.
