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: In some scenes, why do the Serenity crew members speak Chinese?

Chosen answer: One of the premises of the show is that the two major Earth societies that survived, and ultimately merged, were the Chinese and Americans. As a result the common language includes much Chinese. Clothing, signage, and building designs also have a heavy Chinese influence.
