There are at least three I've found so far.

: : : Serenity/Pilot

No flags here?

: : : The Train Job.

Two different flags.

One: Seen while Mal is fighting Claw, on the crates. The inset-flag appears to be a direct copy of the Chinese flag -- one large star, four smaller stars in a crescent beside it, all of these in the top left corner of the inset. Thirteen stripes. Looked like normal flag dimensions.

Two: Seen best while the Sheriff's assistant opens the crates on the mule, but also seen on the crates when they're on the train. This version has two large stars, both upright, in the center of the left half of the inset flag. Towards the center, slightly preferring the right half, the four-star crescent appears. Also has thirteen stripes. Looked like normal flag dimensions.

: : : Bushwhacked

Two different flags:

One: On the alliance crates, visible both when they're first seen in the cargo hold and in the discussion when the Alliance boards Serenity. Very odd flag dimensions, longer than usual. Might have only been 1:2, but looked longer, like 3:7 or 2:5. Two big stars, four small stars, five stripes. The small stars are *not* confined to the inset; the two outer ones are, in fact, in the outer part of the flag, in the red stripes.

Two: On the side of the alliance cruiser, seen when Simon and River are in their space suits. The angle isn't perfect, but you can see the thirteen stripes -- and even if you couldn't, the white stripes dividing the inset flag from the outermost red stripes are clearly visible. Two yellow stars -- it appears to be identical to flag 2 from the train job, possibly with a different aspect ratio (the angle doesn't let you determine that, though.)

... Other episodes? Anybody else know of any other flags? I'm still slowly scanning the series, but if we've got three different ones so far, there might well be one or two more in the other episodes.
