I know we're getting close to a winner... if not today, perhaps tomorrow! Here are picks for today:

Mr Universe (and his love-bot)
Inara Serra
Jubal Early

Mr Universe was introduced in the movie 'Serenity', which followed the show. He is well known for his ability to find the source of broadcasts, whether they are common or top secret. From his location and with his technology and a touch of talent, he is also able to broadcast almost everywhere in space. Mr Universe apparently lives alone, except for his Barbie-like lovebot, whom he married in a traditional Jewish wedding.

Inara Serra is the ship's companion. She is not to be confused with a whore, not ever. In the show, she's the one who wears all the beautiful clothing. Even among companions, she is esteemed to be one of the best. Despite the fact she isn't necessarily part of Serenity's crew, as she rents one of the ship's shuttles for her home and typically takes little or no part in the crew's hijinks, she is sometimes integral to getting them on certain planets. As a high ranking, high priced companion, many of Inara's clients reside on some of the more lucrative worlds.

Jubal Early isn't a bounty hunter. Oh wait, he IS a bounty hunter (ask him yourself, you'll get both answers) who tries to capture River Tam in the episode 'Objects in Space'. He is a very interesting character with some clever but twisted insight. The tables are turned on him when he secretly boards Serenity looking for River, when the ship suddenly seems to become sentient. Poor Jubal Early, he'll never be the same again... (this is my husband's favourite episode).

2 more today, taking me to 7. :)

It's worth mentioning that the love-bot looks like a cleaned-up, slightly girlie-fied version of Kaylee. If Simon can't see how gorgeous she is right away, it's nice to know that someone noticed and lusted after her. ;)

I'm so glad you're liking this bingo. :) I'm definitely having fun... here are today's picks:

The Alliance
Saffron
Mudder's Milk

The Alliance is the controlling force of the huge system of planets; they're the folks that tell a man what he can and cannot do and where he can or can't do what. While their intentions were probably good initially, they are known to use minimal effort in preparing a planet for life, dropping new citizens there with the barest of supplies, and forgetting about them.

Saffron is probably a favourite among many male watchers of Firefly. Very feminine, fair skinned, red-haired, and very, very crafty. Saffron debuts in 'Our Mrs Reynolds' as Mal's surprise wife. He tries very hard to keep her at arm's length so he doesn't end up in a special level of hell (where they send child molesters and people who talk at the theatre, according to Shepherd Booke). Jayne tries to trade his favourite gun for Saffron, and Inara.. well, let's just say Inara gets some insight she probably wasn't looking for.

Mudder's Milk is a protein-rich beverage that the working residents of Canton enjoy after a hard day of processing... mud. It's really good mud though, in demand for manufacturing, so it's lucrative for the man who owns the town (not so lucrative for the underpaid workers). In the episode 'Jaynestown', the crew of Serenity fly in to do some business. They soon realize Jayne has a bit of a history there, and once they set foot on Canton soil... er, mud, and see a very fine rendering of Jayne in statue form. They're pretty much struck dumb; this episode is likely one of the funniest. :)

I bought this shirt for my husband for Christmas last year:

I know we're getting close! Here are today's picks:

The Operative
Captain Harbatkin
Jayne Cobb

The Operative appeared in the movie 'Serenity' as the man who was assigned to return River Tam to the Alliance. He was very determined, a bit eccentric in that his weapon of choice was a sword (ceremonial deaths were his thing), and very confident he would get River Tam no matter the cost. Many good people were eliminated by his determination, he was a very bad man, but it could be that a shred of a conscience survived.

Captain Harbatkin is a little-known alias used by Malcolm Reynolds, when it was convenient. Harbatkin was apparently the previous owner of the Firefly-class transporter now known as Serenity.

Jayne Cobb was purely the 'muscle' on the crew. He wasn't 'blessed with an overabundance of brains' and his mathematical prowess extended to calculations like 'ten percent of nothin' is, well, lemme do the math... nothin'!' If Jayne was ever reminded that Jayne was a girl's name, he reminded the speaker that 'he ain't a girl'. Despite his lack of smarts, Jayne's character probably provided the most humor on the show. The actor who portrays him is Adam Baldwin, definitely NOT one of the many Baldwin brothers. Jayne is known in the episode 'The Message' for getting a loving message from his dear mother, and a wonderful hat (pictured below).

A picture of Jayne and his lovingly knitted hat: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YQm7VlJMBSo/S ... ontrib.png" target="_blank

Wash's response to Jayne's hat: "A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything."

This hat has been reproduced by countless fans, and one of them lives on my husband's head from time to time. :)

Good luck everyone!
