He keeps Inara around because he needs to love and to be loved. He keeps Book around because he needs someone who has faith and also serve as his conscience. He keeps River around because she's a mindreader and needs someone who possesses a sense of wonder.
Firefly serenity symbol meaning Patch#
He keeps Simon around because he needs a doctor who can patch up his crew in his dangerous line of work and help him heal from within. He keeps Kaylee around because he needs a great mechanic and someone to remain hopeful. He keeps Wash around because he needs an excellent pilot, as well as someone with a sense of humor. He keeps her around because he needs someone who has been in the same boat as himself from a soldier's perspective, and have at least one person who will remain fiercely loyal to him without question. When he hired his crew, he did so for various reasons.įor instance, he hired Zoe as his second-in-command because she was a fellow soldier who fought with him in the war against the Alliance. He's a defeated, broken, and very lonely man who has lost faith not just in God, but in human beings, especially himself. Six years later, we see Mal as a cynical, bitter, and sad individual. However, within moments, he and what's left of his platoon badly lose the war against the Alliance due to superior firepower. In the very first episode, we're introduced to Mal, who is a very good leader, tenacious and a firm believer in God, the latter being the most importance to him. Just.After watching Firefly and Serenity on DVD again, I've come to better understand the characters and their significance to the show.

Any inconsistancies (not that I've noticed any) would be more likely based on an error by the movie designers/translators, as we saw with the Blue Sun logo.
So, I would not expect the characters from the logo to need to be translated, especially since there is no need for grammatical context. In fact, even Japanese uses Chinese characters (Kanji) for nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs. As for the Chinese characters, my understanding is that different dialects have some of their own characters, but they share the main (historic) ones. There is an image of the ship-logo within the interview, if anyone is still looking. CABridges posted an interview with him on : -graphic-designer-for-serenity/ The interview doesn't say anything about the differences between the promotional logo and the actual logo on the ship. The logo from the movie was designed for the movie by Serenity's graphic designer, Geoffrey Mandel (with "lots of input" from Joss).

We get a look at the ship's name in the series (I believe in the pilot at Eavesdown Docks), but it is not the logo from the movie - in fact, I recall it being pretty not-exciting. As to the series I'm trying to remember if we ever got a look at the logo.

Guess I'll have to watch it all again and pay more carefull attention. So both are correct for differing values of correct. Now in clasic printed Chinese the charecters are read top to bottom and then left to right however in places where english is the dominant language it is not uncommon for the charecters to read left to right and then top to bottom - particularly in signs and the like. On Serenity herself the characters are side by side. But I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that as well.Īll of the Serenity tie ins that I have seen have the characters in the logo stacked. I think this might be a difference between Firefly and Serenity - or maybe just the quality of some merchandise.
Sometimes the Chinese characters are side-by-side, and sometimes they're on top of one another. Originally posted by ACrazyIvan: This is just something I've noticed.
