Did You Know?
| Trivia | The red button Wash rigs to call the shuttles back and return the crew to Serenity was removed from the set on one of the last days of filming by Alan Tudyk, as by that time the cast and crew knew they were being canceled. Scenes on the bridge for Out of Gas (2002) were filmed the next day, and the button is noticeably absent. Alan then mailed the button to series creator Joss Whedon, with a note saying "When you get your miracle, just hit this" (quoting Wash's line). Whedon was hoping to revive the series, which he did, in the form of the film Serenity (2005). See more » |

| Quotes |
Mal:
Not if all you're gonna do is sit around here and whinge about it, no. Wash: What do you expect me to do, Mal? Mal: Whatever you have to. And if you can't do it from here, then get a suit on and go outside on the side of the boat... Wash: And what? Wave my arms around? Mal: Wave your arms around, jump up and down, divert the nav sats to the transmitter... whatever. Wash: Divert the... - right! Because teenage pranks are fun when you're about to die! Mal: It'd give the beacon a boost, wouldn't it? Wash: Yes, Mal, it would boost the signal, but even if some passerby did happen to receive, all it would do is muck up their navigation. Mal: Could be that's true. Wash: Damn right it's true. They'd be forced to stop and dig out our signal before they could even go anyplace... well, maybe I should do that, then! Mal: Maybe you should! Wash: Okay! Mal: Good! Wash: Fine! Jayne: Hey! What you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this? You'll use up all the air. See more » |
