A: Trick question. There's no evidence that Jayne has a sister (although he might). The sibling is named Matty, and he suffers from damplung.

Q: Of all of Jayne's weapons, how many do we know the names of? And it's not one, to clarify.

A> We know of three. Vera is the obvious one. Phoebe is the one he used in the heist in the BDM. And the one in the big reaver shootout was called Lux as a tribute to LuxLucre. (ok, the last 2 aren't strictly canon, but phoebe is named in the movie novelisation, and the other one I picked up reading an Adam Baldwin interview)

Q> What does river decide to call a big boat?

Actually, the second time was in the movie....when Jayne and Kaylee are talking in the cargo bay while Jayne is dumping the Reaver body. I believe Kaylee is holding it.

You know, that actually *does* look like a catalyzer she's holding. :) It's a bit different than the one Mal's holding in OoG, but still a catalyzer I think. Good catch.

The answer to Sab39's question is...*clears throat*...there would be "more conversation and less petty theft and getting hit with pool cues"

Not sure if it's word for word or not, but I think it's close. Damn, I love this show.

Easy enough question, but it has to be asked:
Q: What does Simon contemplate growing to better fulfil his new role as a criminal mastermind?

As a trivia (Oh dear and fluffy Lord, I'm replying to myself,) in an interview Nathan said the catalyzer is actually one of the momentos he kept after the show ended.

Jayne also wore a boonie hat in The Train Job (and Heart of Gold, I think. Or was that more of a drover type hat).

'

A: There are 5 crew quarters off the corridor between the bridge and the kitchen/dining room area. Two on the Starboard side, which are Kaylee's and Mal's, three on the Port side, which are Wash/Zoe's and Jayne's (I believe Jayne has the center bunk). I don't know if Wash and Zoe have the forward or aft one since we never see them entering or leaving their quarters. Though I suspect it is the forward room, closer to the bridge and they are seen heading past the aft bunk ladder at the end of 'War Stories.'

I remember Roberta but I don't recall any confirmation that she was a companion. Inara would of course be familiar with most of the people in those social circles so the fact that she knew her doesn't necessarily speak to her occupation. Do you have a source?
