Starring: Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Gina Torres, Summer Glau, Jewel Staite
The Message - S1-E15
Other mistake: The characters in this show often use the made-up curse words 'gorramn' and 'gorrammit.' Toward the end of this episode, just as Tracey grabs Kaylee as a hostage, he shouts, "Gorrammit, Mal." The subtitles read: "You're a rabbit, Mal." (00:35:50)
Out of Gas - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: In the flashback where Mal and Zoë meet Jayne for the first time, every close-up of Mal and the one close-up of Zoë shows their hair blowing in the wind. But in the shots of them together, their hair is completely still.

Trivia: Wash sets up a big red button for Mal to push to call back the shuttles if help arrives. He tells him "When your miracle gets here, just hit this button". After the show got cancelled, Alan Tudyk sent the button to Joss Whedon with the same message enclosed.
Question: I've never seen the show myself, but I was wondering what kind of a name "Inara Serra" is. I'm assuming Inara is of Portuguese origin, but mostly because the actress was born in Brazil. Can someone please help me with this?
Answer: Inara is actually Arabic in origin; it means "ray of light" or alternatively "heaven sent". Serra, on the other hand, is Portuguese and means "mountain range" - derived from the same word in Latin, where it means 'saw' (as in the cutting implement, which a mountain range might resemble, rather than the act of seeing).
