Quote:Originally posted by Bytemite: In the Civil War, there were units that were organized regionally to join the effort that stayed homogenous, but my impression is most volunteers were still assigned and had to report to a unit, rather than joining up with their local militia and staying with it all through the war. Might be wrong.

Quote:Originally posted by bluesuncompanyman: 9. When Badger refered to Mal's unit as the "Balls and Bayonets Brigade", was he being honest or sarcastic? This is getting to the point of determining if the 57th had that very moniker or not. 10. I've come to believe that "Burn the land and boil the sea" refers to Shadow's uninhability due to orbital bombardment during the war. Can someone confirm or deny this?

Quote:Originally posted by bluesuncompanyman: 1. Hera: Was indeed the site of the final decisive confrontation but we cannot deterine if it was a rim world, a core world, or an unaligined planet. 2 Du Kang: This one is even more confusing. 1st is the question as to if the "Battle of Du Kang" refers to a planet or a city.

Quote:Originally posted by bluesuncompanyman: So what can that mean in canon? Well, here is what else I noted: 1. The patch worn by the deceased Lt. Baker had a green border. 2. Mal's had a black border. At first I thought "Gr Arg. More inconsistancies" until my wife pointed out that therein clould lie the difference twixt an officer (Baker) and an enlisted soldier (Mal). Is there any basis for this? Has this ever been brought up?
Quote:Originally posted by bluesuncompanyman: Second Question: The Flag still poses a problem. Based on my thoughts at this moment, I'd be thinking it should fly "up" even though I've grown emotionally invested in "down". I'd propose that even though Mal's patch was an accident by Shawana Trpcic's group, it must still become 57th overlander canon since it's so obviously displayed in the series.
Quote:Originally posted by bluesuncompanyman: The 76th would also be "Down" as they have made their calls on the matter. The flag of the overall confederacy of rim-worlds would then be "UP" as a nod to the orginal intent of Joss & Co. However a question of Star Color is the new issue. The flag I have aquired has a black star. The 76th unit patch is blue. I also have a blue shoulder patch. As I cast around the net I see black and blue stars in equal measure. Tristan (the CO at the 76th) told me in an email that the 76th was blue by their choice to present a unique moniker of their unit. I cannot determine the star color of Mal's patch by freeze framing my DVD's. At times I'd say it might be blue, other times I just cannot tell. Serenity Valley and Du-Khang are dark after all. I know exactly what I'd say if I had the power to make these calls on my own. I'd say that the symbolism of point up represents the union of planets fighting for sovegnity. Point down then refers to singular units or planets. Therefore one can display a point down star in a reflection of 76th or 57th pride and point up to say "I'm a Browncoat" If that is true then the flag flys "up" in my film and the patches are displayed to the viewer as "down". Star color is different. Blue or Black? I have an idea about it but I'm hoping to read comments on here first. Also interested in links to sites that refer to Shawna Tripcic's "point down" accident and discussions about what that now means in regards to star point intention since as you say this has been addressed in "both print and address" Links to any sites that discuss point direction and star color is highly sought for research purposes.
